Normalized Fascism in Open Source: $12 Million Given to DHH

@Gargron I've read a few articles linked from mastodon this week about this massive amount of funding to a Linux distribution that is described as just some vibe coded setup scripts on top of Arch. Ignoring the politics of the people involved for a minute, what I don't get is why is all this money being put into this? What are these investors looking to get out of it?
"We cannot afford to continue to shrug off the presence of these people and their projects in open source. A united stand must be taken."
@Gargron The link to the PDF from Varyx blog which contained the conversation between him and the Freedesktop CoC team doesn't work anymore.
Here a link to the webarchive:

I suggest to attach the file to the blog article.
@Gargron I've just been reading Omarchy's web page. I noticed that there is not a single female represented among the quite numerous founders, listed supporters & Foundation. Does that say something?
@Gargron
Fuck. #Immich pops up in there thanks to Futo sponsoring #Ladybird. I'm not ready to replace yet another piece of software, but if this connection grows any closer, I'll be forced to.
How is "I want to us software not associated with open nazis and biggots and anti-demokrats" such a tough position these days?
@Gargron you support fascist Tommy Robinson in a lengthy blog post explaining your direct support alongside your ideological beliefs and explain why romani people are predators in a separate post once and suddenly the woke left labels you a racist
@Gargron Best explanation I've readso far.
Well documented and clear.
