I never thought I would say this, but so long Gentoo. I always thought I would be able to stick with Gentoo for most of my life, as it was an easy system to maintain, with a wealth of packages.
Unfortunately Gentoo has been going in a downward spiral for a while now, and finally the final straw has broken the camel's back.
These crazy kids just hard mask anything for fun it seems these days. XMMS, whether "buggy" or not, still works just fine for me, alot better than any of the other current music players out there. I see no reason to hard mask it. Who cares if it doesn't have a maintainer? It still works on x86 computers just fine. I know this gentoo person claims XMMS to be broken, but it works just fine for me. Maybe these days "broken" means they don't release a new version every two weeks.
Anyways, all this rambling is for nothing now, I am officially switching to Ututo.

Seems like there are lots of things to complain about with Gentoo, but you picked a rather silly reason to quit using it. What about upgrading your compiler? How about switching to modular xorg? They are both a pain in the butt. How about the fact that maintenance time in gentoo is really a lot more than with say, ubuntu?
Yeah, I like ubuntu also, but I am not going to switch because of xmms.
There are more things, I was just saying that is the straw that broke the camel's back. It is just the absurdity of the whole thing.
You sir are retarded.
Seeing these kind of posts reminds me of just how technology truly is ubiquitous in this day and age, and I can say with 99% certainty that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes cheaper, the possibility of copying our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about almost every day.
