Ffs i didn’t know 1password an futo were also part of this. My employer uses 1password for everything, guess i have one more thing to be annoying about now.
It’s nice that people are finally starting to write about what a coke fuelled POS DHH is. People within the Ruby community have known this for years. the fact that he is where he is because of some truly horrible PHP is mind boggling.
Everyday my longstanding hatred of DHH is proven correct. I never liked him or his ideas, and seeing his shitty-but-accepted ideas in full context did a lot to help me understand how fascism is more than just ideology: It’s world view, it’s practices, it’s lifestyle.
12 million seems like a LOT for any distro
This isn’t even a distro, just some configuration on Arch
He should funnel 11mil back upstream to Arch, we all know that won’t happen, but it should.
Also for those wanting to get into Hyprland try out: ML4W. Its the best dotfiles I’ve used and the creator seems fine, no controversy AFAIK.
The problem there is Hyprland itself, with vaxry not being much better than DHH
Yep. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the distro. This is just rich fascists throwing money at eachother. There are thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of other projects that are more deserving and in more need. This is entirely about who and not what.
Gentoo does a wild amount of work on $12k per annum but I don’t think $12m is that crazy - if it’s more than you can spend the you can pass it on to your dependencies. We shouldn’t expect open source contributors to do everything as a volunteer effort because then it becomes a rich person pastime. What’s infuriating here is that this $12m goes to people who aren’t exactly doing anything worthwhile.
Not when your buddies are billionaires.
Well, shit, I’d only heard of vaxry because we seem to share an opinion on D-Bus.
Another person who turns “people like omarchy and invest in it but the guy who created it is racist” into “People are normalizing fascism”. Hell even the blogger this blogger linked to had no idea this David guy was racist until he looked it up.
so yes omarchy is ran by a racist dickhead but people arent supporting him. seriously people. life isnt that complicated.
person who manages dell’s donations: "hey michael dell. the creator of ruby on rails created a new linux distro thats geared towards non tech people and it runs great on our dell laptops. he setup a foundation to support the distro. do you want to donate to it? "
michae dell: “sure, sounds good”
… that’s how it goes. its not more complicated than that.
It’s not a foundation. It COULD HAVE been one but in typical coke fuelled ranting DHH fashion he blogged about how the money would go towards marketing thus, womp womp, no tax exempt foundation for you buddy.
How is corporations donating millions of dollars to a fascist not normalizing the ideology?
That is not how it goes when millions of dollars are involved 🤦
But even if it was, not caring who you give money to is not is not a defence against supporting fascism.
