@encrypted_past With all due respect, that's your right, no one can force you to do or not do anything. White supremacist? Nazi? Who cares.Lets be "inclusive" and set our morals aside. Surely we can build a creative community driven by no values or benefits. Year of Linux for "everyone". Somehow
@encrypted_past You know his supremacist, dehumanizing views and are still fine with it? ok. But FOSS was built on inclusion, regardless of gender, race, religion.ppl with values build communities. ppl who look the other way get toxic communities or some corporations at best. Good luck with that
@encrypted_past We know from his own words. 'As I Remember London' laments London no longer 'full of native Brits' & praises Gaza genocide supporter & supremacist Tommy Robinson. He dehumanized Romani ppl & called for their genocide "When wolves get out of control, u shoot them" Enough?
@encrypted_past Yes, I agree. That's why we should believe him when he shows who he is. Trash Talking devs is an extension of his toxic supremacist views which would attract like-minded toxic community.
Is it worth joining such community? No (.)
@sergesountsov@dreamsofcode_io FOSS is about community, it requires a community, it's not just code. When the "creator" looks down on and trash-talks the ecosystem he depends on, he creates a toxic culture. A supremacist cannot lead a diverse community by definition.
Good luck "building" anything worthy
@sergesountsov@dreamsofcode_io How about the four freedoms (run,study,share, improve)? Nowhere do they include "exploit free tech labor while trashing those who made it possible". DHH supremacist views are shaping this "distro vision".
What community forms around disrespect and extraction? is it worth joining
@sergesountsov@dreamsofcode_io Correct, and we're allowed to call him out for trying to rip up FOSS principles. The internet, Linux, macOS, Android, etc. all built by FOSS devs over decades to give us a fair chance. Now an arrogant supremacist wants their free labor to build his own right wing version of FOSS
@sergesountsov@dreamsofcode_io A distro is more than dot files, but let's assume it's a distro. Still, it's a 'distro' with security issues, made by an arrogant narcissist who trash-talks the minds behind FOSS, yet wants their free labor. Trust him? I wouldn't.
@sergesountsov@dreamsofcode_io Omarchy is Arch Linux with some config files,he didn't build an OS. Also, the claimed vision is to make Linux accessible to ppl. It's already accessible and comes in many flavors. The real issue is related to some corporates refusal to support Linux but that's a different topic
@dhh This was there a long time ago. Asahi Linux, where developers of different cultures, ethnicity, genders, religions/beliefs, etc (the one you despise) spent time & effort to get Linux working on Mac/ARM properly. But back then, you were chasing a different narcissistic dream
@dreamsofcode_io Also, his supporters (Dell, etc.) prove they're against FOSS principles, not FOSS itself. Remember Ubuntu tried this with Unity and Ubuntu touch (mobile version), FOSS principles were the issue from the start.
@dreamsofcode_io Would that make a difference? He showed us who he is, believe him. Otherwise, we'd be foolish. All he wants is free labor for his right-wing politicized version of FOSS.
@encrypted_past@dhh With all due respect, don't fall for it. DHH is politically driven arrogant. All he wants is free labour, so reaching out is tactical, meaning for him FOSS is just a stepping stone, not something he truly believes in. FOSS is built on principles DHH clearly lacks
@LundukeJournal@dhh Bro built a whole career off criticizing everyone else's code & work, while his biggest contribution is a browser extension that removes donation banners. You spend 8 hours a day yelling about Systemd & Rust like they personally offended your ancestors. ofcourse you like DHH
@svpino When a right-wing politically driven arrogant used opensource tech to build a framework (Rails) on top of an open source lang (Ruby) tried to hijack & kill the decades-long efforts of unsung heroes who fought big corp monopoly to give all humanity a fair & just access to tech
