I'll admit that, due to living under a rock, I wasn't very informed on DHH, Ruby and Omarchy. I finally took some time to read this article and to dive into all the articles linked: https://brennan.day/normalized-fascism-in-open-source-12-million-given-to-dhh/

I fully agree with this post:

@Gina Thanks for sharing the post - made me realize that I still have a #dropbox account. Not for much longer, though 😑

@Gina
I'm sad that Ruby (my favourite programming language, by Yukihiro Matsumoto), is involved in this shit only because DHH created the Ruby on Rails framework.

@Gina This was the post that made me realize how bad it was. I hadn't expended much effort on it prior to reading it.

DHH's politics are not normal. Maybe they used to be, I don't know, but as of right now the dude is way outside of what most people would consider moral or acceptable.

@petko thanks for sharing!

Unrelated, but I didn't know that @nixos_org dropped a US military autonomous weapons supplier (Anduril?) as a NixCon2023 sponsor. This makes me respect #NixOS even more.

@Gina @petko @nixos_org this was not without a *lot* of feuding in the community, unfortunately. In some ways we're still dealing with the fallout.

Why are the wrong people so good at capitalism? :/

@Gina Because capitalism promotes greed and evil people excel at that.

@Gina one way to look at it is, they're just much worse at anticapitalism than anyone else

@Gina they are paperclip maximizers, but for wealth. Greed is not good, despite what the capitalists want everyone to believe. Placing the acquisition of wealth above the wellbeing of others is not a healthy trait.
