Its almost as if DHH and those transphobes over at Hyprland(not to mention Lunduke, Luke Smith, Distrotube, and the various cadre of right wing little bissh boys on YouTube) all forgot about Linus Torvalds.
As far as I’m concerned Linux is for the left. But heck when an ideology like fascism is born out of grifting off left wing ideology (i.e. See Mussolini’s socialist/anarchist father), the right can just appropriate whatever they want…but they’ll still always be little bissh boys to me.
Sounds like he may be a socially progressive liberal.
God fucking damit, so many open source projects struggle for money and yet, that fascist jackass’ dot file distro gets all the support. That’s maddening…
It’s money laundering. Thats all.
Seriously though… I wouldn’t want fascists’ money anywhere near my pet distros, regardless of volume. As they say: “He who pays the piper calls the tune.”
Nazis doing Nazi things.
Considering where the support is coming from… Are you surprised?
That confirms it, Omarchy is the official operating system of bigots.
*fascists
Let’s check the Venn diagram…
fucking called it when the first batch of millions started rolling in. not that it was too difficult to see. disappointing to see many open source folks being like “who cares?”, which is just the head-in-sand reaction i’m used to encountering when talking about fascist politics with locals. it seems to me that the users who are ready to welcome large amounts of institutional capital into open source projects don’t understand that it comes with strings attached. maybe they think more money = more eye candy = growing userbase = better video game support on linux? idk, hate to see fascism creep into every aspect of my personal interests
Because of course it would.
I swear the move to replace the GNU ecosystem with Rust tooling has more to do with a corporate EEE push to remove all libre licensing than with memory safety or anything else.
Always has been
Suddenly it makes sense
Which is very frustrating, because retiring C & C++ is long overdue IMO, but for reasons unknown to me, the Rust community is strongly against copyleft licensing.

Nailed it here, imo
$1.5 million in compute = actual expense for Elmo is zero as Elmo’s datacenter is massively overprovisioned and is currently leasing compute to all their competitors
But of course Elmo needs to send a message to the world: “please avoid this distro”
“Hey, Omarchy! Uninstall Omarchy.”
There’s obviously history here that I have missed. Can someone tell me about this distro and what makes it controversial?
Some Nazi nut took arch and made it worse by adding exploits like “any user process can escalate to root” or “web app notifications can execute any binary”
Somehow the other Nazis are loving this mess and he’s getting millions in sponsorships from companies that want to be boycotted
In fact it is surprisingly unimpressive on a technical level. An Arch-based Linux distribution with the Hyprland tiling window manager. That’s it. The developer has grovelled to Musk and friends leading to rivers of gold flowing in. It’s everything that’s wrong with the US and tech billionaire oligarch class in general.
Someone took Arch added some packages & configs and is now making $$$$
Actually, it’s also the someone that makes the distro controversial. (Spoiler: poorly veiled bigotry in link.)
