excerpt: "
The easy way out of this uncomfortably large gathering of perfectly normal, peaceful Brits".
This "peaceful" protest had people in it saying they would wait on the shore of England and kill migrant right there. Or that they would just stab brown people in the street.
I don't call that peaceful, I call that hateful, the willingness to kill somebody else.
So DHH is clearly skewing things his way as well.
Freedom of speech is alright, but it's not free from consequences. And if somebody say hateful things, they can't be surprised to have people disgusted by them. And they can't play the victim card.
And to stay technical: Rails was a good idea, and I guess still is. That doesn't automatically gives the author an immunity pass to be a dickhead.
Omarchy, from what I read is just a bunch of shell script to automate some installation of extra packages out of an ArchLinux. And just `curl | sh` ing stuff that are not packaged in arch linux. So nothing really otherwordly deserving praises. It's just another linux that doesn't share improvement to the original (Arch Linux).
And it packages Grok in it, which a few days back was calling itself MechaHitler.
So, how come this get 24K€ in grants from Cloudflare, when projects like Gnome or KDE don't even get half?
The guy is already a fucking millionaire, does he need this money personally?
I mean, I just don't know how much dog whistle you need to see the problem. He garnered a huge following, thanks to Rails, and now he's just using this to share more and more fascist ideas and make money out of it.
And it's not a sissy drama, it's fascism rising alarmingly everywhere and this needs to be stopped and not just looked at from the sidelines hoping we're not the next target.
