I think it’s just horrible news that the far right is able to concentrate a lot of capital into building their own orgs so that they can bypass and effectively do a coup on institutions they dislike, not for technical reasons but because those institutions are too trans, woke, and brown.

I'd never use Omarchy (much prefer Nix/NixOS) and I *heavily* disagree with DHH's politics—but!—8 millies to a Linux "distro" is excellent news for Linux as an ecosystem over all. This is probably as good as it'll get.

This is why I'm less and less a fan of open source. Not like, the ideals are fine or whatever. But genuinely just having low skill loud internet chuds steal your stuff and turn it into profitable institutions that hate you seems kind of stupid?

this *is* whys strong FOSS is important tho. the GPL is incredibly important

oh fuck yeah a fellow EUPL shill? I also like it way better than the GPL, both the text of it and the ideals behind the license. The FSF is quite frankly deranged and have long mistaken the map of copyright for the territory of free expression through code

Also it has way more comprehensive protections than the AGPL on distribution, I thought? It's kind of like the SSPL but better and not killed by bad faith actors blatantly discriminating against it

Honestly half the reason I'm no longer on Guix is the FSF... literally they're worse than us, partially because of the BDFL-lite model (and shadow BDFL stallman saying really inaccurate stuff on mailing lists)
