Given the sheer amount of fascism, bigotry, and elitism in the Gentoo community, anyone wants to make a fork of Gentoo with explicit bans on that together with me?

I have a few technical issues I wanna solve too, but preferably we'd get enough beans together to make this something useful.

I can do generic Linux things (specifically kernel stuff, but also other things), but I don't have enough Gentoo-specific knowledge to do this alone. I do have a lot of experience with managing communities.

For now I'd probably soft fork, make our own tarballs + perhaps an overlay and soft fork of portage if necessary.

For those who haven't been watching:

A load of AI companies are actually just OpenAI resellers. OpenAI is among the biggest investors in these companies, but NVIDIA is also big. The way it works is something a bit like this:

1. NVIDIA invests $10M in some AI company.
2. That company takes $2M in revenue for effectively reselling OpenAI models at well below cost.
3. That company buys $12M of OpenAI credits (from their revenue plus investor money).
4. OpenAI reports $12M of revenue and uses this to justify raising $100M more investor money.
5. OpenAI buys $100M of GPUs from NVIDIA.
6. NVIDIA reports $100M of revenue and an asset worth at least $10M.

Everyone wins! Money from thin air!

There's a more fun variant that is, roughly:

1. Investment firm has a $100M stake in NVIDIA.
2. Investment firm borrows $50 against this stake and uses it to invest in a load of AI startups (maybe even OpenAI).
3. Demand for GPUs goes up!
4. NVIDIA valuation increases significantly and now the firm's NVIDIA portfolio is worth $1B
5. Company slowly sells 20% of their stake (slowly, so it doesn't spook the market, but it's a fairly small fraction of market cap, so that's fine).
6. Company writes off the $50M investment in startups.
7. Company now has $150M in cash and an NVIDIA stake valued at $800M that they can borrow against.

If anyone except Trump were in the White House, I'd expect the end result of a bunch of SEC investigations to result in a lot of folks going to prison.

Have a femSovy in these trying times.

Been playing Digimon Time Stranger today and I got Renamon!!!

#Digimon #digimonstorytimestranger #Renamon

Media marked sensitive due to eye contact.

This is my old werewolf suit, from when I was using my cis moniker "Graafen". At the time I was still under the impression that I was male, and when I started feeling bad about my trans thoughts I denied myself the feeling good about a lot of things, which included this.

These were very good times!! 💜​

Suit was made by DarkFang and @ysengrin of Runnign Wolf Productions

Zhe renaissance yinglet, not bad for two hours sketching on my tablet

Boycotting the Eurovision is cool (especially because Israelis *really* care about the Eurovision) but this, right here, is another level
