    aitikin got a reaction from drobbins in Why I feel like I'm forced to leave funtoo   
    I'm posting this because, maybe I'm mistaken, but I can't see how I am.
    I come from a timeframe where being able to search forums and newsletters would allow me to often solve issues without having to wait and sift through hundreds, thousands, and sometimes millions of unrelated posts to find what the solution to said issues.  It seems this community has moved further, and further, and further away from traditional support roles to the fad of (pardon my terminology, but it's accurate) bullshit discord as support or only YouTube.
    I'm running into a shit ton of emerge errors after an ego sync after the server was down for months and I cannot easily find what I need to know.  It's probably a stupid simple solution, probably to a problem that was documented in the discord a dozen times, but I can't for the life of me find it.  I don't know if I should be looking in, "install-help," which implies that it should be focused on the base install by its namesake.  I can't tell if I should hunt through, "general," for it, though, of the options, that's the most sensible, I feel like it'd be the least useful.  Maybe it should be, "development," but that seems like I, an end user, should never really be in that one...
    This has forced even worse misunderstanding.  For me, it's forced freaking outrage to the point that I've yelled at the computer because I cannot figure out what the F*** I need to do and cannot find it in the forums and cannot find it in discord no matter how I go about searching.
    Genuinely, I appreciated ego and epro and the other funtoo tools I can't get in Gentoo proper.  But the absolute F****** lack of responsible documentation and the fact that it feels like I'm meant to feel grateful for that, makes me want to not use funtoo anymore.
    Please, show me where my statements are completely inaccurate and how I can stay here.  But, frankly, if you send me ANY ONE SINGLE YouTube as a solution, I'm gone.  YouTube is not how I should be taught how to fix a bloody commandline issue.  I shouldn't have to sift through a video that's even 4 minutes long to find a 20 second answer.
    I genuinely feel like funtoo is dying as a result of these decisions to make access to the knowledge contingent on using shit like discord and YouTube.
  2. Great Post
    aitikin got a reaction from cardinal in emerge @preserved-rebuild fails on =media-video/mkvtoolnix-33.1.0::media-kit   
    Thanks for submitting the bug, I would've done so myself, but figured I'd make sure it wasn't something stupid obvious that I was overlooking first.
