If I were running a tech project, and elon musk offered to help I'd quickly begin questioning all of my life choices.

Lol. $1.5M in Grok tokens. The gooning and misinformation service.

Thanks for the warning, I guess.

"controversial"

The funny thing is that DHH isnt even doing anything with that much money to make Omarchy better, seems like all money is going into his pocket

Of course they did. Omarchy is one of the only openly fascist-run Arch customizations.

And watch while they claim $1.5MM in revenue and $1.5MM in "marketing" to juice their books just a bit more.

Of course it does. There is no reason to do this except to say "yay" to DHH being racist.

I guess that settles the entire debate, in case anyone had any doubts.

Nazi OS

I feel like I am living in a simulation where the creators are just messing with us now. The headlines have just gotten too oniony over time.

Is there a list of these asshole backers anywhere, so we all know who to boycott?

elon backs nazi; shocking headline....

This reminds me; I gotta get rid of 1password.

Nazi pseudodistros aside, I wonder if they could sell those tokens for real money. If not, it might as well be 1.5M in magic beans.

That confirms it, Omarchy is the official operating system of bigots.

God fucking damit, so many open source projects struggle for money and yet, that fascist jackass' dot file distro gets all the support. That's maddening...

Just gonna shamelessly leave these two paragraphs out of the website of my own distro here.

Nazis back Nazis... More at 11

Because of course it would.

I swear the move to replace the GNU ecosystem with Rust tooling has more to do with a corporate EEE push to remove all libre licensing than with memory safety or anything else.

seema like concentrated effort to steer linux desktop in a certain direction

Its almost as if DHH and those transphobes over at Hyprland(not to mention Lunduke, Luke Smith, Distrotube, and the various cadre of right wing little bissh boys on YouTube) all forgot about Linus Torvalds.

As far as I'm concerned Linux is for the left. But heck when an ideology like fascism is born out of grifting off left wing ideology (i.e. See Mussolini's socialist/anarchist father), the right can just appropriate whatever they want...but they'll still always be little bissh boys to me.

$1.5 million in compute = actual expense for Elmo is zero as Elmo's datacenter is massively overprovisioned and is currently leasing compute to all their competitors

But of course Elmo needs to send a message to the world: "please avoid this distro"

How much compute does dot-files actually need...? /shrug

I hate the phrase "X$ in compute" so much. What does that even mean? It could mean a 1.5 million dollar value worth of donated time on one of their servers, or it could mean a hardware donation, or it could be a cash donation that is earmarked for server upgrades/chip purchases. Ever since AI took off it's become such a common turn of phrase to use "compute" like this. As if the amount of money spent tells you anything useful about the amount of things they can "compute" now. Costs are so variable and spread out across many different areas that it changes day by day, and by which vendor you use, or what part of the world you are in, or all kinds of other things.

Maybe I'm just behind the times and it has some specific meaning now I'm not aware of. Either way it annoys me.

What a goddamn joke

lol some bigot loser 'we're not political! 'who never used Linux before getting all this money and surprise he has little understanding, hence still a shitty release.

I tried it for a few weeks unfortunately just so i can see the trash first hand. and it is buggy, not intuitive to use, full of shit webapps for crap platforms and worthless because all of that agentic crap that you'd want can be easily done on a base arch install.

There's obviously history here that I have missed. Can someone tell me about this distro and what makes it controversial?

isn't it SpaceXSI now 🤣

Really laying it on thick now

Everyone saw this coming.

Omarchy, Omarchy! It's Linux, for nazis!

"Hey, Omarchy! Uninstall Omarchy."

American Aerospace AI company invests in new desktop operating system make it make sense

I use Arch*, BTW.
