    Gentoo compilations are peanuts compared to the massive energy sucking hype that A.I. is.

    Their overall impact is low because they’re niche. It wouldn’t be if Gentoo were more popular. Imagine all of the AWS EC2 instances running Gentoo. And all of the Docker container builds still compiling glibc over and over.

    Fact is they still built a horrifically inefficient system for deploying software. It’s a crazy hypocritical stance to take. AI at least provides benefit - something that can’t be said of Gentoo’s waste.
