"Linux is infiltrated by absolute maniacs" -Nazi linux man who evidently does not own a mirror, 2026

Every day he shows himself to be just another typical faschy techbro. I’m glad I’m not doing Rails development anymore so I can mostly avoid interacting with this POS.

I find it so odd that people think they can go out of their way to insult the people running the place and then cry culture war when they realize that's weird and unpopular. Like you need to accept there's a lot of trans women in tech and that you're the weird one for being mad about the cis purity.

Anyways, I don't think I could contribute to the sqlite team, but I accept that they'd probably suck for me and that reforming catholicism is beyond the scope of my career as an SWE.

Have you tried nailing a bunch of statements about that to some door somewhere I heard it worked once (though arguably the outcome also wasn’t great)

I _think_ (hope) this is a joke. It says 'This document continues to be used for its original purpose - providing a reference to fill in the "code of conduct" box on supplier registration forms.'

so he's trying to avoid divisions/teams, so he's making a new division/team? like even if he's saying he's welcoming all people he's clearly not because he called the "other" team goblins and maniacs. isn't this just adding to the culture war?? is it that hard to use nix & avoid culture war?

Does DHH have a ghost writer? His blogs seem so polished in their insane arguments, but him live sounds insanely annoying. I'm not gonna "give it to him", but there's a tiny point about purity testing in some communities (*cough* *cough* that infamous Framework Forums thread).

that framework thread was completely correct and will get more correct as time goes on

framework sent DHH a free laptop 13 pro btw :) same for the hyprland dev who is currently calling rust developers mongoloids on x.com

the thing is that linus is actually serious about putting the technical considerations first and this guy just wants to be racist and misogynist in the mailing list

I'm sure, I just meant that the part I saw was basically about how it's now a place where people want to tell you how to think and Torvalds was notorious for basically doing that to literally everyone

I dunno about this, I mean obviously the guy is racist and weirdly preoccupied with migrants, but I think there are limits to what you can extrapolate from that. Does anyone think the Ruby on Rails project is a racist hellscape?

saying he doesn't care what your politics are and that he doesn't want to fight culture wars would land better if he wasn't advocating for ethnic cleansing in Europe while sitting on a seaside perch in Malibu

genuinely hate to say it but at least the urbit guy actually put on his “this is a tech project and I just talk tech stuff” hat on whenever it came to that project. DHH is and endlessly whiny little bitch

What's absolutely off the wall bonkers unbelievable is that he *does* say which views he wants to share. And oh man is it ever the most vile forsaken anti-tolerant shit. This post might as well be titled: "HAL, instigate a genocide". web.archive.org/web/20260727...

web.archive.orgI'm sorry, DaveStanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey has always been an incredible movie, but its value as a cautionary tale has increased exponentially since AI took off. The iconic scene with HAL 9000 refusing t...

Omarchy: "We men of industry write our operating systems with real languages. None of that girly "type-theory" shit here"

Ruby on Rails was always a piece of shit because that whole community didn't believe in any kind of code safety and just monkey patching core platform functions randomly was standard.

it's like the Aristotle quote: "he who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god" and these kinds of dudes all think they're gods, so they go into the wilderness alone and then get sick from eating the wrong mushrooms

I hate the fact that I've been pigeoned holed as a rails-developer and would love to branch out. The framework is such dogshit by 2026 standards without it being the creation of such a fascist creep.

But will it work? Is it a real risk? It looks like a simple distro to me. Even if it sticks, there's just gonna be one more linux distro beside the most popular ones, but this one comes with less trans people and more assholes.

if you view this as more of an organized platform for disruption, harassment, and ideological rallying, it's a lot easier to see what they're doing.

I have no doubt that DHH doesn't have pure intentions, but I still cannot see the mechanics of causing a disruption. Do you think there's a risk that Omarchy will become an unignorable standard? Or do you fear that they will use their screentime (on conferences, etc.) to stir shit?

using nix as an example of good technology that's been captured by "woke" and then proceeding to make a system lacking every strength of nix/nixos is quite the bit

the entire "we just want to work on cool tech" thing is ridiculous. they have no clue what they're doing and the entire system + marketing is built around the aesthetics of competence. every contributor and third party involved with the project is a yes-man seeking personal clout. sounds familiar...

By screaming about how this person and others don’t belong in tech, whatever that means. In reality he is just mad no one likes him so he lashes out like a child

"fun with computers" ?? nix had an issue with weapon tech sponsorship right? so dhh is saying making tech that assists murder is fun?

well yeah, he just wants to complain about "muh woke" but doesn't actually want to face the fact that those exact same people basically made his entire livelihood possible

I tried omarchy when everyone was first hyping it because I'm always curious about new dotfiles, and using it for that brief period mostly just pissed me off. It was very open as a project about being opinionated, but the amount of hype it got made me think it wouldn't be so annoying for me to use.

I used omarchy in the very early days because of the hype around it. At the time, I had no idea who DHH was. Then I read his racist blog about London, and I removed omarchy the same day. The guy's a freaking loon.

This is to say that as someone who didn't know the specifics of DHH's deal at that point, I already didn't understand why people were hyping it so much, but now that I know more, I'm even more confused because this guy is pretty much just evil.

I've discovered omarchy via one youtube channel I used to watch, when I saw dhh involved I stopped the video. Today with your link I came back to the channel to spread what dhh is doing. Then I saw that the video ends with a pray and now I know I'm in the wrong place 😂

A NixOS alternative that takes away all custom configs and forces you into Hyperland with a handful of pre-selected flatpaks to own the Libs

Wow I didnt know about this... where can I read more to understand the case? I was planning to check the new omarchy version but maybe I'll just skip it...
