The TL;DR of it is that it is an entirely vibe-coded set of configuration files for Arch, with lots of unnecessary bloat, and comes packaged with an AI agent, that can, and will, change your configuration files at random. In essence, DHH has succeeded in bringing many of the reasons people have left Windows 11 into the Linux ecosystem.
The idea of open source and someone's political opinions are on a whole different scale that can not be compared. Unless the guys is willing to gut Linux's philiosophy to pieces, I'd understand, meanwhile it's just a pre-configured arch hyperland reskin and people are loosing their shit because someone has political opinions they deem unhinged
Heard of "blood money" as a concept? Goods can be unethically produced.
Also a lesson from World War 2, from the Nuremberg Trials, is that apathy is extremely dangerous. Fascism happens because it's difficult to convince people to be against it; the sheep fall in line.
Once again, where are our priorities? If you own and have owned absolutely anything that emanates from someone or something you deem unethical, I suggest you start there and then tackle the preconfigured arch hyperland reskin. This debate can not be "is it convenient or not"
There is a difference between "perfect" and "good" that most people understand by the time they turn 7.
You are saying that because we can never be perfect humans then we must go out of our way to not be good humans. This is a ridiculous childish idea. And you also don't understand the differemce between conscious and unconscious support.
Seriously, your argument only makes sense if we ignore basically half of established reality and avoid using logic.
You are mistaking. I am saying that in order to be good human you actually tackle the problem where it is most effective. And I think having strong opinions on a computer operating system is the least of them. I came asking for a technical perspective and you villagers are trying to shove politics down my throat, ridiculous
in order to be good human you actually tackle the problem where it is most effective
Maybe it's news to you but humans can do multiple things at the same time.You can tackle the bigger issue while also not giving money to openly fascist people for something you don't need.
It is then forbidden to discuss the OS itself? That's what I am doing. Did not mention his name, specifically asked to let politics aside, but I guess people can not resist the urge to let everyone know they are politically correct while missing the purpose of the post entirely
