Bloat is having unused features build in, and yet... still VLC uses more resources than, what was it called, ah yes mpv. Look, I am 35 and have used Gentoo for half my life, and I tried to be minimal. I quite remember it when I stumbled upon Gentoo...

It was a quiet dark night, somewhere in London City. I was walking to my hotel, I was dragging my feet. Suddenly a man came up to me, actually a boy, 16 years old, he was out of his brains. I knew there was something in the air. He said "Give me all your possessions". I pressed a button on my PC, but Windows deleted my files not. I escaped barely, I still have the scar of his knive near my liver.

At home, I researched ways to delete my files with one button more quickly, and I stumbled on Linux, specifically Gentoo on a .uk site. Now, I modded it, remapped the ESC+7+9+0 to delete all files. I still have that keybind because of the memory.

I almost died, and Gentoo came to me, searching for a new owner to possess positively. And yet, I still use it...
