I agree on focusing on what is important and moving on, however what Omarchy just did is equivalent of someone entering a restaurant and shouting "everyone who was inside before I entered is a clown". Feels like this case requires attention.

Yeah, this is super bizarre.

Edit: also whats with the nixos thing? What connection does nixos have to making fun of omarchy other than the fact that everyone should make fun of it?

I'm not sure, I suppose it is one of two things:

• People make fun of Omarchy saying "Wait till they hear about NixOS" meaning that "How do these idiots have not yet realized that NixOS is perfect for what they are trying to do."

• In response to "It's just a bunch of dotfiles" Omarchy claims that NixOS is a bunch of dotfiles too. (This one does not make too much sense)

Why would you don't believe it?

That would require them to be educated and have self awareness. Don't be ridiculous.

I don't need to but I want to because I feel that behaviour like this needs to be called out.

Up until today I have never heard of it before. But now I’m seeing plenty of discussions around them, most regarding controversies.

The biggest way the far right recruits, is gaslighting useful idiots into "raising awareness".

It's actually how it made a comeback with 90s daytime TV. They were given a literal safe space to spout their shit 99% of people found reprehensible. But there was always a couple kids who were home sick or expelled. People who would fall for it, but we're never exposed to it. Or poor out of work people, kind of the target demo.

Before that, they had to recruit in person where they'd get punched in the face for it.

The modern equivalent, is what OP is doing. And they most likely don't even understand it and genuinely think they're helping.

last week DHH got a few of his friends to give him a few million for his dotfiles. since then he's been using said funds to market his dotfiles thus the reason you're seeing more posts about it, more youtube vids from "content creators" saying how great it is or how fantastic it is that the money could potentially go towards FOSS projects (Bradie, Typecraft, bunch of others who have clearly been given a little something something). DHH is also running a competition for omarchy plugins with the winner getting something like $4000 so the store is flooded with well over 1000 vibe coded slop (and exploitable) plugins.

it's all marketing for the eventual rugpull of what I anticipate being "Omarchy Premium". that's 100% coming.

Because the tech bros support the nazi-distro. Which should come as a surprise to nobody.

don't shoot the messenger?

I suspect sarcasm, but for the chance it is not... from my understanding:

Omarchy is a Linux operating system based on Archlinux. It has some customization and pre-installed software. But its highly controversal, mostly because of political statements (which are pretty bad) and on technical level, the operating system has some huge (security) problems.
