Lemmy is gonna love that the whole thing is vibe coded

Seems like everything is being run over by fascists these days.
Honestly that may be the entire point of this. The right wingers are trying to carve out their own corner in the world of FOSS. Understandable given the spirit of open source is literally the antithesis of what they believe in, however they also can't ignore it now cause it's vital infrastructure.
"Fascism in your technology is inevitable"
I'm out of the loop, what's going on? Why is everyone saying this is a bad thing?
Besides DHH being problematic. It's really weird that a vibe-coded OS that is ~~less than~~ about a year old is getting millions of dollars of funding while other critical FLOSS software is constantly underfunded.
I didn't known this project was this new, I saw some videos on YouTube about it but it didn't catch my attention so I didn't watch them.
Okay, I verified it, it's actually 14 months old, so I was wrong. But yeah, it's a relatively new project.
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?
It's not about being a "hater" or not. DHH is basically a white supremacist and it should be basic human decency to oppose that
People who have raised money before are better at raising money. Not that I fully understand why they throw so much at this project. But I don't also quite understand why some projects get billions just like that.
networking plays a big roll in such things. the more connections you have, the more possibilities. in my job that is normal as well ( not for donations, but it's important to get a job)
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 don't think that matters here. NixOS is also MIT licensed.
thanks for the heads up
Shame. I liked digital ocean
Bye Felicia.
Did you not get the mail about them having built in grok?
There goes my weekend migrating off of DO. I should have left sooner but supporting this crap is lighting a fire under me.

but why? its a shitty distro made by an amateur. there are real who needs support
It makes gatekeeper types in the Linux ecosystem happy, because it preinstalls you neovim, hyperland, and a bunch of bloatware, so they can get to their tinkering much faster.
There are literally fascist free Arch distros like CachyOS, Garuda Linux, and EndeavourOS which make it easier to access and utilize the power of Arch. Without the vibe-coded nonsense, streamlining of customization that allows experienced computer users get right into a working, configured system that allows for greater customization. Hell, someone is working on an immutable version of Arch called ShaniOS that makes it dead simple to use, safe, just as stable. So that updates can't break your system. It is looking like a great work in progress. One could use LITERALLY anything other than a fascist chud made and supported distro like Omarchy. But sure, call concerned people "gatekeeper types in the Linux ecosystem". The reason why people are ringing alarm bells about DHH and other associated weirdos is due to the growing prevalence of the idea that far right weirdos are using open source as a method to normalize their deranged ideas. Reducing that very valid concern to "gatekeeping" is just not it.
Not that I want to disparage anything you're saying, but: I'm fairly sure the person you replied to was calling Omarchy users "gatekeepers". That's how I read it anyhow
I dunno. Perhaps. I could've missed some context.
You guys! You guys! I heard of this computer program named Wayland and there's this Linux dis-trib-u-tion of it with a sick vampire-looking intro screen. AI! AI YOU GUYS! The same AI that makes flyers for my youtube tech channel. Use it too so we can collectively change the world.
