Was trying to figure out what package I needed for video thumbnails in Dolphin. It's on the Gentoo forums, one of my oldest accounts which I rarely log into.
They've put everything behind the login wall now, probably due to AI scraping, which Gentoo officially opposes. Also, insane CAPTCHA that seems like it would be easily defeatable by any decent LLM harness.
I gave up and found the answer on and r/gentoo thread.
Open projects are closing down access to some things, and I understand the concern, even if I think their efforts are counter productive to an open web. I wonder where this all ends.
