That’s a $3 million commitment to the development, maintenance, and spread of Omarchy. What an incredible vote of confidence in the beautiful, fun & agentic OS we’re building.

A. many of the donors are friends of DHH B. the entire "distro" is full to the brim with AI. it's built completely via AI. so these people are looking for an ROI on it. they want this to be THE consumer AI OS. and I guarantee you it won't be free for much longer.

    So you're saying that the companies' thought process is "The guy can be a neonazi POS, but HE'S THE RUBY ON RAILS GUY, and we at [Company] know how SUCCESSFUL Ruby On Rails is! He might actually build THE ULTIMATE AI OS!!!! We gotta at least insvest something, so that we don't fall behind if it actually takes off!!!!!!!!!" Did I get it right?
