After seeing yet another dozen packages lose keywords on Gentoo because of a single key dependency switching to uv-build, I would like to plea on behalf of Gentoo users: please don’t use uv-build as a build backend.

Just to be clear, this is not about uv itself or any other Astral tools; these are good tools with a nice and responsive upstream. The uv-build backend is one thing we have to disagree on. I’m not saying it’s bad; I’m saying that its benefits don’t outweigh the drawbacks.

    You are right. Everything stated, (while missing the point), was correct.

    Arizona is a state. Factually correct. Does it belong here? It must. It’s factually correct.

    Here is a point for you:

    .

    Be sure to miss it 😉

    You’re still focused on the tree, consider the forest someday.

    Good luck in life my friend.

      If multiple people are continuing to miss a point you think you’ve made, perhaps consider if you’ve properly communicated your point before moving directly to pretentiousness.

      The best orientation for capturing sound the ear canal is to keep the ear straight from lobe to tip. (across the pitch axis at least, that’s the rotation that enables nodding).

      As you pitch forward or backward you start to capture less and less of the sound across the plane the brain expects sound to be coming from.

      If you have your head pitched backwards by~ 70-90 degrees (as if you were looking directly down your nose at someone in front of you) you will struggle to hear/understand what is being said, especially from directly in front of you.

      Perhaps there’s a metaphor in there somewhere, maybe even tree related, as that seems to be the theme.

      Good luck with your imaginary forest.
