I’m sure that’s your sincere opinion, but even if it’s not, at least it’s coherent.

But more ideological. But yeah, throw Trump or Hegseth in the mix and I’m still picking Diddy.

I… what? This literally says nothing. The title promised me a description of a power grab, but the actual contents are just “DHH sux”. Even accepting that premise as I do…no power grab is described.

The only issue anyone seems to be taking with the main line project is the dev. Half of his design choices are completely uncontroversial on the other half would never generate this much fucking heat.

It’s almost like you have to judge software based on its utility rather than the political wisdom of the developer.

No no no, you don’t get it.

Everyone to my right that I don’t like is a Nazi.

Everyone to my left that I don’t like is an ultra.

People around the same political position that I don’t like are all trots.

If you disagree with me you’re gas lighting.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Positive polarization: a lot of rich people are donating a lot of money to it, maybe (probably?) because the creator is well-connected and the OS makes lots of references to AI. Negative polarization: The creator has bad opinions, and the OS is very AI-forward.

Everything in the market is exposed to varying degrees, unless you have something particular in mind? If you can think of a stock that will go up when AI goes into freefall, name it, please.

Depraved indifference at best, and explicitly pro-murdering people. Also no sign he gave a shit about pedos.

Only one problem with the S&P500: a massive chunk of it is AI speculation, like 30%+, and that bubble will pop. Recommend bonds or metals until it does. Then switch back.

I…fuck, I guess…Diddy, if he doesn’t have other plans. He’s the only one that hasn’t killed kids.

The nix package(?) system, sure, but the eponymous OS of course has parts under a diversity of licenses, including a GPL kernel.

What I don’t get/trust if how Omarchy just slaps an MIT label on its GitHub even when I can see software in there that I know use different licenses.

Most of the people going on about him take a lot of umbrage with his racist ideology, but all he seems to do with it is blog. If there are more material concerns (like with Proton) then I’m not seeing them be raised.

I mean, something is fishy when Michael Dell et al dump millions into a particular distro. Could be the AI-forward identity, could be the development of tools with permissive licenses, could be DHH is just rich and good at schmoozing. Hard to say.

Okay I’m seeing further chicanery. Their GitHub repo gives the license as MIT but many of the components are not Omarchy originals but derivatives of other products under different licences. Quickshell is LGPL 3, for example, and of course the Linux kernel is GPL 2.

But then there’s a guy working on the “Omarchy Kernel”, which I guess is a derivative like Ubuntu does…

Personalities aside this is still weird, and I wish people would focus on that.

I like the positivity!

Not that I can tell.

I am not an Omarchy or DHH hater but…why? It’s Arch with Hyperland, why are people fawning over it? Is it just because he keeps saying “agentic”?

I’m agentic too, how about throwing me a million bucks?

Yeah, I’ve worked places where I could tell exactly how many more man hours we were short, and I knew the managers were doing it deliberately for a bonus. It’s not for the workers, it’s not for the customers, it’s for shareholders.

Let’s just put the stochastic hacking programs online and let them run, see what they do.

Oh, more venture capital money? Don’t mind if I do!
