the tech industry fervor over Omarchy is so fucking confusing to me that i'm honestly starting to wonder if it's just money laundering. over TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS for a fascist's dotfiles and bash scripts is patently insane

@davidcelis it does feel as if some people with bad politics (but a taste for free stuff) found issue with the reality that desktop Linux was a social warrior project, and are taking panicked corrective steps to "fix" it.

I wonder what Linus himself would think about the attribution "social warrior project"...

@davidcelis it’s insane and never saw it coming.
I feel at the beginning everyone was making fun of how useless it was and suddenly I’m swamped with “coder influencers” saying it’s the second coming of christ

@davidcelis a lot of people were waiting for an excuse to funnel money into fascism in open source, and DHH created an institution for this purpose
