Wasn't Omarchy literally just a couple of dotfiles for Arch and a easy Installer?

I literally didn't know this, but I've switched from 1Password to KeePassXC few days ago because its Android client stopped working. Wth?

The backlash to 1Password’s funding should have been predictable

Youtube has been feeding me Omarchy video lately, it seems like every single one I tried to watch brought up using Grok. I don't know anything about Omarchy, but it was enough to give me the feeling something wasn't right.
It's Arch Linux by and for white supremacists.
But there is something right. The far right.
I'll see myself out
Why does Omarchy even need this money when it’s run by a billionaire?
This song have just been sent to Arch or some Linux foundations.
Because there are multiple Linux options, once the commercial versions flood in, the most marketed will grab the biggest share of the uninformed populace. So obviously the billionaires want to wrestle control over it.

When/how/why did DHH fall off so bad? There was a time when he was (at least vocally) shitting on Jeff Bezos, Chamath, and a few other "friends"

They're currently in the finding out phase.
Aw man, I use them because they're Canadian but fuck them, I guess. I wonder how hard it is to switch to another password manager. I'm especially concerned with how passkeys work.
Very easy. You should be able to export your passwords as .csv and import it into a new manager.

I never expected a mid hyprland preconfig to be tied to a person with Nazi views and cause this much issues.
I don’t understand all the hype for Omarchy. It’s not really that groundbreaking or awesome.

I know about omarchy and seen that guy interviewed a couple of times. How the fuck am I just now aware he is a nazi? He seemed egotistical for sure, and his contribution to open source is .. basically his personal dotfiles? I think that this shit was still completely devoid of extermination of minorities manifestos and hatespeech. But seriously how do you know if someone wants to kill refugees? why doesn't he say so in the interviews or in the source code so we can know? This is fucked up. A faschist idea would be to keep a list. But omg, if you want to exterminate children that fled from war, please just say so in your dotfiles! Idk why this bothers me so.. I really do care if my config was made by a hateful hand even if it doesn't show
Completely agreed. Unfortunately he was also the "Ruby on Rails" guy, so for a long time he had serious developer cred. It is really sad to see.
It's like one of the founders of Mullvad VPN (very very rich OG Swedish hacker from way back when) came out as supporting a serious right wing nationalist party in Sweden a couple months back, he paid them like $500K to make sure they stayed in politics and won.
They are the best VPN, but I'm not coming back once my subscription expires.
What is even happening? Are we seeing something like a return to lead poisoning, but there some chemical in our environment that's rotting people's brains the same way but we don't know about it just like we didn't know about lead at first?

I partially blame people with big audiences that keep hyping him up and platforming him. Primeagen interviewed him on YouTube and was worshipping him the entire video. Embarrassing display.
