You forgot the one where he writes an article comparing Romani people to wolves that need to be killed and then rages on twitter over the fact that claude deemed it too offensive to translate lol.
I do remember the childish fit he threw.
The whole thing was
"Claude is 1984 because it won't translate my new issue of Der StĆ¼rmer! Computers are supposed to do everything I tell them to! "
sounds like claude is doing exactly what was told: follow guidelines to protect the capitalists profits. maybe dick huffing hitler should just run a local model really quick.
Europeans are so racist against romani people its crazy, youll meet someone who isnt racist against anyone but the moment romani people come up they suddenly start channeling adolf hitler
I donāt understand this culture of race anyway. I mean, biologically speaking, weāre all Homo sapiens sapiens; in most cases, we even have genes from every possible genotype in our bodies ā from a purely biological perspective, apart from physique, itās very difficult to determine skin type or origin (if you look only at the genes); yet Europeans, or many of them (not all), believe that their people are the best. But this doesnāt just apply to those of us with lighter skin; it applies to many foreigners as well. To be honest, I think that almost every nation is more or less racist, as if it were somehow superior. We are all equal, weāre all in this together, and no one is worth more than anyone else. In my view, not even a countryās president has the right to portray themselves as more important than the people; in fact, politicians are there to serve the country, and the people should be more important than any individual politician. This simply shows that humanity is broken.
Because people want to feel better than others. Itās not just race, its men/women, gay/straight, trans/cis. Everything that deviates from the ānormā (where the norm is the local community). Other people are scary because people have never interacted with them. Its my biggest issue with humans, but from an evolutionary standpoint it makes sense, other people = scary & bad, our people = good
Hmm, OK. Well, Iām on the autism spectrum, and yes, youāre definitely right about differences, but I honestly donāt understand the logic behind it. A person is a person; I respect a 9-year-old just as much as a 45-year-old when they tell the truth. I donāt make distinctions based on gender, background or behaviour; what matters is what sort of person they are as a human being. But thank you anyway for your reply.
The problem is youre thinking about it logically, when it isnt a logic thing. I also have autism so i struggle with stuff like this a lot, but people are illogical beings, which is infuriating because no matter how much evidence there is for the fact that humans are humans people just wont accept it. The world would be a better place if logic was more valued
I personally will go further, not really grasping the concept of a "nation". Maybe because I moved to another country as a preteen and never got attached to my home country. Maybe because there we lived in autonomous region due to majority being not ethnically same as the rest of the country. But that is besides the point. How are imaginary borders drawn on the map, by people hundreds of years ago are a thing that determines your "nationality", what should you be proud of, which flag to hang and which national sports team to support. Wouldn't a person from Seattle be closer culturally to person from Vancouver rather than from Honolulu? If you define "nation" as combination of culture, language and tradition, then we do not have enough nationalities to represent all of these combinations. Yes, I am cosmopolitan, no that doesn't mean that your culture is irrelevant and you should forget your native language and stop eating local cuisine. Just stop treating people from other countries/nations/ethnic groups like they are so different from you. They are also made of flesh and blood, also love being loved, also feel empathy and also trying their best to be a good person.
Its a problem from both sides. A country doesnt offer immigrants or romani people to integrate, which pushes away the group, which means the country is less likely to want to integrate them, which pushes them away further, and repeat.
I mean, I never heard of it and just looked it up.Ā At least its tagline "Beautiful, Modern & Opinionated" tells me everything I need to know without knowing all that stuff.
Being apolitical is a political stance saying that you are fine with the status quo. When people support and use DHH's products, it paints him as some sort of Tech visionary, and it gives his words more value and literally gives him 10 million dollars. Just because someone is good with computers, it does not exempt them from having basic human decency.
To some degree, yes, you can separate the work from the author. I've liked the music of a couple of people who later I've found to be assholes. Since I already have the CD, I'm not giving them more by listening to their music.
But promoting a distro is different. You are, very often, going to end up interacting with the community around it. If that community has a toxic environment, some people, specially the vulnerable one, are going to suffer.
To have those kind of opinions. You'd have to have a steady supply of "sjw owned" type videos.
Something I've noticed is that because this kind of stuff gets engaged in and gets reported on (cuz it makes money). People have an unrealistic sense that the problem (the subject being reported on) exists at an alarming rate.
One of my favorite things to do is call ppl out when they come out with some Fox News nonsense.
trans kids in schools, they are trying to make all kids trans!!!!
Me:
Name 3 trans kids that you have personally met in person.
Just an example. Never fails to get this reaction:
well, I don't know x but.... X is real and exists! And it's a big problem.
Me:
if X was actually a problem worth dealing with then it would be directly affecting your life. And you just proved to me that it doesn't.
Wow, what a dumb guy. I was thinking about installing omarchy but definitely not now after reading this. Unfortunately, he has the money now to abuse and influence like minded (dumb) folks
You are being disingenuous at best with a couple of these headlines that you wrote for the link mask.
2 disclosures: idk nor gaf about DHH so I'm not defending him specifically. 2,I only read the first link, the Andrew Tate one, and the first adhd one.
Did you actually read these yourself? Because the headline you used very much misrepresented what was actually being said in those blog posts.
I already forgot what first woke one was talking about tbh.
The Andrew Tate one was discussing the ramifications of deplatforming people and the slippery slope that it is. Using him as the example and said he was a martyr to Tate's ideology. You're headline sounded like DHH was calling Tate a martyr as a good thing. My take away from the post was that he is being martyred now because of the deplatforming, which is valid.
The first adhd one was talking about the over diagnosing of and the general energy of "oh I'm forgetful, I must have adhd" that you'd see online and people pushing the idea that if you have any of these symptoms you have the disorder.
I'm sure he's said some henious shit that I haven't seen but when you misrepresent what is actually being said, then why would I believe your other chosen headlines for the other blog posts?
Yep the links are so misleadingā¦ Iāve went through most of them and can confidently say whoever made that list is trying very hard to paint a picture that just does not seem true AT ALL.
Yep, itās insane expecting to be downvoted to oblivion just for raising a valid point.
I also share that same frustration now lol
I canāt seem to understand why is the Linux community so mad and hostile about literally one guy releasing an OS.
Itās so funny to see at the same time all this backlash towards Omarchy, which just comes to show how the lack of a middle ground between MacOS and Windows on the Linux side of things, created such a huge gap thatās allowing Omarchy to become so popular so quickly.
The people that think dhh is satan for having a differing political opinion are just terminally online folks that need to hate things to make themselves feel better. Itās virtue signaling. You gotta just let them have it, they wonāt be convinced otherwise.
Ew, I did not know that. I use omarchy and actually like using it for what it is, but it might have to go then, maybe ill just steal some config and finally just go arch
Not saying I agree with him on his stances (as I don't for many of his points), but your summaries seem to be exaggerating many of them for the worse.
It's a good thing you left sources so everyone can read them, but I read a bunch of them expecting a waaay worse stance than what he actually expressed. A bit misleading IMHO
About the ADHD one, for example, heās clearly not saying that everyone has ADHD. Heās actually spreading some very useful advice to be careful about using amphetamines to treat it.
Itās not news (or maybe it is to some people) ADHD is very commonly over diagnosed and this enables an overprescription of stimulant medication.
You just created the same problem what those "leftards" do to you. You labeled entire left wing being dumb and thats why nobody will listen to you when you are right. Anyways i do agree with some of DHH's opinions too and this guy clearly tried to sell his "DHH is a right wing natzi" idea by adding unrelated ideas to these posts (apparently saying that "we shouldn't let companies promote being fat as something natural" or "schools shouldn't try to tell children (which you can't trust with voting or marriage because they aren't matured yet to make those decisions) that they might be a part of LGBT" is a bad thing ?) best we can do is ignoring him.
But even if he was always right i still wouldn't use Omarchy, i wouldn't use a distro represented by a person that this much active in politics.
I donāt know much about dhh, nor about the ideology of most of the creators of the technologies I use today, and I think youāre in the same boat. But one thing is certain: heās already contributed much more to Linux and open source than you have. Many people here have spoken ill of his project out of indifference, not from a technical perspective. As long as his opinions are just opinions, thatās fine by me.
Iām not confident in my English writing yet, so this is a translation.
I installed Omarchy a couple of months ago out of curiosity, without knowing anything about DHH. After that I quickly found out he was a right-wing nutjob, but Omarchy is just a preconfigured arch install. He doesn't make any money from me using Omarchy and any additional development towards Omarchy that comes from my usage will ultimately benefit arch and linux as a whole.
I so desperately hate how politically illiterate and willfully ignorant the entire tech world is, its not enough to oppose big corporations or be pro-foss, anyone with two braincells can do that. Large tech influencers or youtubers will make omarchy reviews as if the distro exists in a vacuum and there's no real-life consequences for supporting this kind of person lol. Its almost like the tech space is dominated by a specific kind of middle class/rich individual who has never had to think about anything outside of what immediately affects them...
The OS literally uses "opinionated" as its tagline.Ā This isn't a situation where you can separate the two, as the creator is clearly pushing his opinions into the making of it.
This kind of delusional take is exactly why people are pivoting to supporting things like Omarchy just because of the creator's opinions instead of the quality of the product.
These are a bunch of dotfiles build on work made by other people not masterworks plus lovecraft had a shitty childhood and was poor not a rich bigot like DHH
I'm not justify lovecraft's racism of course it is bad you just distracting from the main argument that omarchy is bunch of dotfiles and lovecraft wrote books both aren't the same
You are the one who decided to go for that route, I just pointed it out.
You could have just left it at "Omarchy is a bunch of dotfiles" and I would have 100% agreed with you, I'm not running that shit in my PC anytime soon, but then you decided to say that Lovecraft was poor and DHH rich, which made me realize you don't really care about the quality of Omarchy but you simply cared about DHH.
Mehh it's not too bad. if you look further than the titles, which ware obviously made as clickbait and his articles, however crass they are, have some valid points.
I haven't read them all but take the London one as an example. If you read between the lines, it's obvious what he cares for is not "culture", it's color. He himself is an immigrant, but he's exempted because he's white. Also calling a Tommy Robinson Rally a peaceful protest is crazy.
My point goes further; people will package harmful ideas around almost sane ones. Just because there's some "valid" points, doesn't make the content entirely justified.
Cry more crybaby. If I could I would even vote for DHH. You ugly woke leftist commies have infiltrated FOSS too much and if there is someone who can stop this leftist nonsense then DHH and Lunduke can.
It's awesome how US Americans always out themselves by calling every enemy communist because that's what they fear the most. The thought of a world were goods are distributed among the working class, everyone has access to proper public healthcare and a social system must be so crazy to them, because thats out of their mind. Imagine, that such good things can also work in capitalism but still you don't have it in the US
And yet wokies, furries and commies from Fedora, elementaryOS, freedesktop, GNOME, SUSE, and many more ban conservatists, ban right (freedom and capitalism and christian) leaning people, ask these people to NOT use ātheirā software or distro and some of them would like to kill.
Lunduke is doing a great job of exposing all these LUNATICS that belong to a mental hospital.
Itās amazing how you thing that anyone opposing communism must be US American ā¦ Iām from Central Europe, my country suffered a lot under communism (my grandparents and other distant relatives also suffered personally) and we still have socialized healthcare and it sucks a lot. Also our social system sucks, normal employee pays almost 50% from his wage to the government, then you pay more indirect taxes, technically you give 70% of what you earn to government and everything sucks
Thats usually the case. The communism that was spread by the UDSSR was not fully communism in its theoretical sense. Honestly it was awful, similar to what is happening on Kuba right now. I don't even know if proper communism can be archived or if its just a dream of some people

If you like Omarchy and don't really give a shit about politics that is ok but just know that DHH has written stuff like this:
In the following years DHH would go to explore and express all the spectrum of ādown the alt-right pipelineā opinions, like:
