DigitalOcean joins as a Founding Corporate Patron with $3 million
DigitalOcean is joining the Omacom Foundation as a Founding Corporate Patron, contributing $1 million a year for three years! That’s a $3 million commitment to the development, maintenance, and spread of Omarchy. What an incredible vote of confidence in the beautiful, fun & agentic OS we’re building.
Fuck giving money to xenophobes. Especially ones who can't code for shit and don't understand basic Linux security.
Well, looks like I'm migrating my projects this weekend.
Same. Someone on Mastodon gave praises to https://upcloud.com/. They're also on Masto @upcloud@glitchy.upcloud.world
Their VPS plans look decent: https://upcloud.com/global/products/cloud-servers/#plans
What’s up with all the bald men though?
Edit: nvm, only half of them are bald.
As a bald man myself, I can not speak to their specific Baldman tribe.
Also bald. I think growing a beard at this time is necessary to avoid the Lex Luther, Jeff Bezos rich evil billionare look.
Agreed. Then dye it some bright color to really distance yourself from the villain look
Oh my god this whole Omarchy thing is so unbelievably corrupted.
They're laundering money while actual important FOSS projects are dying without funding.
Whoops. Looks like I'm moving the last of my customers away from them.
omarchy is a bastardisation of what arch can offer.
if dhh really cared about open-source, linux and arch, he should be using his platform to educate a wider audience on how to customise their own installs.
reality is that he’s slop personified.
If someone that isn't a Nazi wants to vibecode an OS, and takes it seriously enough to use the AI as a learning tool? Closing holes and patching bugs as they learn? I'm down.
Let's go, I wanna join up. Should we make this as a NixOS flake?
A Nazi whose primary skills are marketing, financial connections, and Managerial "experience"? Fuck all the way off.
I feel a need to say "merry Kirkmas" in context. May dhh find rehab instead, and clean up his fucking mess.
I love this Omarchy thing: it's helping separate the wheat from the chaff.
I only wished there was a site that listed all the "bad" guys... they seem to be way more numerous than I imagined.
Are you baiting me?
that list is depressing. I just unfollowed 3 of them. Thank you.
The omarchy website lists them.
this is a good start: https://drewdevault.com/weird-guys/
Several of those are fairly borderline. You would think Drew Devault of all people would understand that its ok to not be 100% squeaky clean.
I'm not saying that list doesn't include a lot of creeps, but maybe he shouldn't have included "donated to an organisation that includes someone who is antagonistic" and "is an average American Christian" along with the "fervent defender of paedophilia".
First time I ever heard anything about DHH (the main person that is now behind Omarchy) was when he announced he will stop using Typescript for one of his big projects, because the strict typing system makes it less fun than Javascript.
That argument is on the same level as "seatbelts in cars are bad because they restrict my movement", i.e. completely inane bullshit no sane person could take seriously.
Somehow this evidently incompetent person stumbled into enough success to now be able to spout hateful political messages without serious repercussions.
Usually when people start spouting hateful messages I lose respect for them, but there was nothing to lose in this case.
This isn't programming related but i want the omarchy fundraiser person helping fund my project. Serriously i only need like 1%
Say some racist things and you will get money. That's how it works.
Step 1 : fork open source project.
Step 2 : customise it a little bit.
Step 3 : network with racists and reinforce their opinions
Step 4 : profit
easy. get Claude Code to build you a quickshell plugin for their plugin store and then gloat about it on youtube and twitter. that's how everyone else is doing it.
fuckin... why....
Fascists, that's why.
Ok. So is DHH like Epstein and just have dirt on all these CEOs and thats why he gets the money?
Wouldn't that be some crazy shit? I mean.. this timeline is not following any logic, so this could probably be a reality...
One of my favorite facts about O'Marky is how the firewall, one of two security features in this distro serious about security, wasn't even enabled. They didn't announce this gap to their users, just quietly marked it fixed. But they failed to fix it until well into the next major release.
Oh, hi marky
agentic
How about no
I start to believe that he paid the YouTubers money in order for them to do these videos listed on the website.
Ugh.
Glad I deleted my account a few days ago.
Ugh now I need to migrate
