The HN poster of this owns an extremely anti-social page btw https://boomerdeathwatch.com/ . Before he claims that "they deserved it", note how the page itself does nothing but make them look like a weirdo lol
I've become more and more convinced that stuff like this is from state actors trying to divide the West or at least cause some kind of chaos.
I actually strongly disagree, I think this is the natural tendency of many losers and there is a disproportionate amount of them on the internet
This makes me want to try omarchy
Yup.
Whenever disagreeable, humorless scolds start squealing about how "everybody must do X" or "everybody must stop doing Y" ... it makes a lot of people want to do the opposite.
Yeah a lot of people have failed to internalize a lot of the meta-lessons of current culture wars
What part exactly? I hope not the one about DHH publishing essays promoting far-right talking points.
makes cleaning up the trash easiler, obviously.
The writer of this website and people like them should be removed from having any amount of power and relevance in software development. That is, if you want to do software work instead of bikeshedding with bad faith struggle sessions.
Websites like this just do the opposite of what they are trying to achieve. (Giving more attention to the target.)
It means that the alternative distros are not quite effective in their own marketing and Omarchy was able to market and attract funds to their distro better than others, despite the views of the creator.
The alternative distros need a proper answer to Omarchy and invest in serious marketing and let the user choose for themselves just like alternative car manufacturers, which even if you check their history, its quite bad and even worse than a distro.
The site is already down lol
This website's color scheme screams fascism; accusing someone of being the very thing that you are, in psychological terms, is referred to as 'projection'.
DHH can be a POS at times, but c'mon - they are painting him like he's a war criminal! It's crazy! He's a nerd who is probably on too much T, probably dealing with some AI psychosis, has a huge ego because of his success, probably should touch grass a little more often and definitely needs a bit more empathy for people who aren't millionaires, but he is not a supervillain.
Who was it again that said: "The new fascism won't say 'Hello, I am the new fascism.' it will instead say 'Hello, I am the anti-fascism'."?
First time I heard it was decades ago and it has been proven more and more true since then.
The color scheme screams anti-fascist. Red and black are the colors for anarchism.
That is technically correct, but when I look at this color scheme I think of Nazis.
Kinda agree with others here. Imo omarchy is a slop derivative distro but freaking out about DHH is just going to have the opposite effect. Not every inane thing he does requires a reaction, and the opposite of crazy is also well, crazy, just of a different kind.
