i find it interesting you think that i do not have kindness or empathy based on my stance. I'd be curious if you were to meet me in real life if you could pick me out of a hypothetical lineup.

This project has received money because it has drawn people to linux. I can still appreciate open-source code even if it's written by an asshat.

On the other hand, I won't touch an Apple product and I judge tech enthusiasts who do. I will still say they make impressive products, but I have a strong stance against proprietary code for the sake of profit.

  1. This project has received money because a bunch of rich CEOs are friends with DHH.
  2. These people like what DHH holds as his ideology and promote similar rightwing xenophobic ideas.
  3. The project itself isn't innovating in the space. The likes of NixOS come to mind when you think what's new in the field.
  4. Omarchy is a bundle of software and AI. The image is 6 GB because it's Arch + dotfiles + software.
