I think it is been more than 5 years that I have been trying to help #gnu, guile and in general the free software movement. I did not take that decision lightly or in hurry. I have been feeling sick and looking to move away for a long time.
Guile the Good Parts of gnu?! NO!
I can not support that much misbehaviors, and social mal practices.
That is why, I deleted anything guile or guix related that I was able to delete. Since my blog was mostly guile related, I also put that offline.

Wow big time thanks and love ❤️ to Handshake foundation for donating 79 K € to @kde
Its no small cash and will help get the #Freedesktop project and #GNU #Linux to the next level of user friendly interfaces. Me a #KDE regular here 🤩

Comando cp de Linux. Un par de trucos útiles
https://victorhckinthefreeworld.com/2017/07/06/comando-cp-de-linux-un-par-de-trucos-utiles/
El comando cp en #GNU #Linux sirve para copiar un archivo o carpeta trabajando en la línea de comandos.Pero esconde muchas opciones....

Actually, I think that this is the real answer to the @ekaitz_zarraga's question.
I don't know about #clang, but GCC's (huge, overwhelming) complexity is mostly due to the supported combinations of
- languages- architectures- operating systems- optimizations- diagnostics / debug- internationalization
Reading this from top to bottom might give you an insight: https://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html
#GCC is not just a #C compiler but the #GNU Compilers Collection.
It tries to maximize the possible use cases, including several niches and corner case that are simply not considered by simpler C compilers.
Why?
Well, there is obviously an ideological aim: providing #Software #Freedom through an high quality compilers suite to everybody, no matter how peculiar are their needs (to reduce the attack surface from proprietary software).
But there is also a reasonable architectural goal: maximize the reuse of a large high quality code base that is common among the various combinations of need.
The price of this is a huge complexity, due to the tensions between different perspective on how computing should work.
I don't like such complexity (really, I hate it), but it's very short-sighted to blame it without understanding the overall vision that GCC pursuits.

I tried #gnu #guix SD for the first night and restored my #debian backup on the same night. It's and has several fascinating ideas but has only few problems which are severe and deal breakers for me.

Another one is the fact that they enforce you to follow the #fsf definition of freedom which is like you CAN'T use those softwares that are not free in our opinion that is against the freedom of will and I don't want that. It's sad to see that this mindset is getting more popular and more extreme among gnu project. That's why I like #debian. You're free to do what you want and nothing is holding you back. These reason made me realize the #gnu #guix SD with all the shiny ideas isn't for me.

The biggest problem for me was the lack of binary compatibility and the fact that they don't want to be compatible was a instance no for me. You can't use official binaries for #firefox and many other free tools..... #gnu #guix

The idea of having a functional build/package manager system is amazing and an operating system around it is every cooler. Creating your entire OS based on a lisp DSL is the dream. I'm a huge lisp fan and I started using #gnu #guix with love of #gnu, #lisp and #linux on my heart but to be honest it wasn't what i expected.

Making some baby steps in contributing to #guix
So far it's a great example of how a #gnu #foss community *can* be extremely friendly, yet still maintain their FOSS only stance in public without completely alienating people who don't hold those strict views.

@purism Previous to 2019 by ditch all my #facebook crap #messenger, #instagram, #whatsapp, etc. Personal computer operating system #Linux or #GNU/Linux only! #macos or #windows just if extremely necessarily on a #VirtualMachine. An ethical #VPS with #algoVPN on #WireGuard or a #Tor network on #Whonix. Browsing on #Firefox with recommended settings and add-ons by www.privacytools.io or #TorBrowser. Gradually stopping using all #google services. Search engine #Duckduckgo mainly.
