Time to find a new VPS host.
Overpriced VPS reseller joins the Fascist Linux Project.
ew gross
How many 3 initial techdudes are there?
I only know jwz and DHH
There are RMS and ESR
From reading about Omarchy and community reactions it sounds like DHH is a successful grifter, milking money from corps with pictures of agentic promised land. HOWEVER grift will go bust at some point: does anyone remember SaaSpocalipse that did not materialize,along with numerous articles from people with degrees pointing out that there’s no data supporting claim that AI is actually making money for it’s peddlers or consumers. AI grifts will continue until “market” will finally acknowledge it for what it is (it’s just a new shiny tool, no more) and all the myths go bust and investors will want their money back. So - yes money got “stolen” from actual OSS projects that keep world’s lights on, yes vibecoding has not been proven to scale or endure multiple decades like Debian, Gentoo, Fedora etc. so it’ll collapse from technical standpoint, but it WILL collapse unless DHH will start applying those grants towards hiring engineers. Token money are not worth paper they are printed on so everybody just chill and let this trainwreck go off the cliff on it’s own. Shame DO got into it though… but for all the major cloud platforms who isn’t supporting fascism? What differs is the scale.
Gonna have to set up some time during the weekend to help a friend migrate some infra off DO. To where? Who knows.
Lemmy is gonna love that the whole thing is vibe coded

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 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.
Thank you.
Welcome.
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”
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.
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)
Shame. I liked digital ocean
Bye Felicia.
Did you not get the mail about them having built in grok?
thanks for the heads up
Take that survey, express yourself
oh, i did
that makes me want to set up a DO account just so i can delete it!
Just be sure to take the survey and be clear on why.
