Gentoo Linux Plans Migration from GitHub Over 'Attempts to Force Copilot Usage for Our Repositories'
Gentoo Linux posted its 2025 project retrospective this week. Some interesting details:
Mostly because of the continuous attempts to force Copilot usage for our repositories, Gentoo currently considers and plans the migration of our repository mirrors and pull request contributions to Codeberg. Codeberg is a site based on Forgejo, maintained by a non-profit organization, and located in Berlin, Germany. Gentoo continues to host its own primary git, bugs, etc infrastructure and has no plans to change that...
We now publish weekly Gentoo images for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), based on the amd64 stages, see our mirrors. While these images are not present in the Microsoft store yet, that's something we intend to fix soon...
Given the unfortunate fracturing of the GnuPG / OpenPGP / LibrePGP ecosystem due to competing standards, we now provide an alternatives mechanism to choose the system gpg provider and ease compatibility testing...
We have added a bootstrap path for Rust from C++ using Mutabah's Rust compiler mrustc, which alleviates the need for pre-built binaries and makes it significantly easier to support more configurations. Similarly, Ada and D support in gcc now have clean bootstrap paths, which makes enabling these in the compiler as easy as switching the useflags on gcc and running emerge.
Other interesting statistics for the year:
Gentoo currently consists of 31,663 ebuilds for 19,174 different packages.For amd64 (x86-64), there are 89 GBytes of binary packages available on the mirrors.Gentoo each week builds 154 distinct installation stages for different processor architectures and system configurations, with an overwhelming part of these fully up-to-date.The number of commits to the main ::gentoo repository has remained at an overall high level in 2025, with a slight decrease from 123,942 to 112,927.The number of commits by external contributors was 9,396, now across 377 unique external authors.

Tuve la oportunidad de crear el cartel oficial para Comic Con MedellÃn 2025, un proyecto que representó una experiencia única para explorar el cruce entre cultura pop, ilustración, narrativa visual y diseño gráfico aplicado a un evento de gran escala. En esta visualización decidà ir un poco más allá del encargo original e imaginar posibles aplicaciones no oficiales que, aunque no formaron parte de la entrega final, considero que habrÃan sido interesantes de explorar dentro del universo visual del proyecto. Creo firmemente que el valor del diseño no vive únicamente en el resultado final, sino también en cómo se imagina, se prueba y se construye desde una visión personal. No todas estas propuestas están ?ni tienen por qué estar? alineadas con la visión final del cliente. Sin embargo, este espacio en Behance me permite darme esa licencia creativa y mostrar cómo el proyecto pudo expandirse, evolucionar y abrir nuevas posibilidades visuales.
ChatGPT en andere generatieve AI-systemen hebben razendsnel hun weg gevonden in het hoger onderwijs. Universiteiten en hogescholen worstelen met de gevolgen: hoe valt fraude nog aan te tonen, en wat is een diploma waard als je niet zeker weet of het werk van de student zelf komt?
