Linux

Omarchy is a distro in the same way that I’m a fighter pilot because I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

Am I crazy for saying that DHH is a far-right plant and Omarchy is a plot to destroy FOSS from the inside?

I have to ask: How exactly would someone support the fascist people just by using Omarchy? It costs nothing, there's no data collection, no subscription, nothing. It seems like a fucking purity test to not touch anything any possible fascist has ever touched.

Protest if you like, but I'm going to say: Stop talking about Omarchy if you want to hurt it.

The people who like it are going to like it, the ones who don't won't, and screaming about it just brings it to the attention of more people who never would have heard about it.

...The heck happened?

I've been under a rock for a bit.

Explain to me: why is there so much hype (and controversy) around some Hyperland Arch Linux config, within like a month? Is this some astroturfing thing?

Is The Primeagen also a garbage person? I've always thought of him as pretty down to earth and real.. But man he's been making them rounds with DHH lately and getting heavily involved in Omarchy

this website is so scarily designed (in a way that screams “scam” to me regardless of its content) that i doubt it will reach anybody but us

I think boycotting omarchy itself (easy to do) is a lot more effective than boycotting everything else.

Let these companies see their money go to waste because no one cares.

its fascinating to see libs cancelling people on basis of culture war... I also wanna cancel people on basis of class war

Aside from this dickhead and his shitty worldview, the OS is nothing more than a curated experience with what could be some fucking awful and dangerous AI implementations. I don't understand how people with any modicum of tech literacy wouldn't pass on this fucking thing INSTANTLY. I have always had mixed views on networkchuck, but to see him pumping this fucking thing up was pretty much my tipping point to writing him off completely.

And regarding DHH... I don't know how you could listen to this guy talk, and not get the Euroid sociopath vibes. Plus his little harem of fanboys are presumably gonna be jumping in at this point. It's just fucking gross. I passed on this months ago, and I will continue to pass.

I will continue never using it

People use Brave even though Peter Thiel is one of its main investors. People use Brave even though it was created by Brendan Eich, a homophobe and Trump supporter

OK so this is a legit weakness of mine and it has to do with too many options. Creator aside what makes this distribution interesting and what other flavors resemble it? I’ve been trying for years to find the right flavor for me, I want something I update minimally and when I do update it doesn’t break. I’m using lmde note but I’ve had to wrangle it in and all I’m running on it is steam Nvidia gpu, yams, plex. I want to self host other apps but I’m terrified of the base install becoming unmanageable. I want this server to run games also.

As long as any form of will to power exists, there will be attempts towards facism. The point of open source is that the worst case scenario- something happens and you’ll be able to branch it and run it your way. That’s the whole damn point.

It is suppose to be so surprising- but that’s the life cycle of the modern day world. Leaders act very well towards their consumers and employeee until they get a real foothold to the point of being able to buy congressmen. Then they turn evil.

That’s the thing- they were always evil. They just hid their power level
