DigitalOcean joins as a Founding Corporate Patron with $3 million
DigitalOcean is joining the Omacom Foundation as a Founding Corporate Patron, contributing $1 million a year for three years! That’s a $3 million commitment to the development, maintenance, and spread of Omarchy. What an incredible vote of confidence in the beautiful, fun & agentic OS we’re building.
Ok. So is DHH like Epstein and just have dirt on all these CEOs and thats why he gets the money?
Wouldn’t that be some crazy shit? I mean… this timeline is not following any logic, so this could probably be a reality…
Even politics aside, I don’t understand why all these companies are donating to Omarchy. It doesn’t actually offer anything worth thinking about… which makes me think it’s about the politics.
It’s in the blurb. Pretty sure when he says “agentic OS”, he wants it to be the default OS for consumer AI crap. All you have to do these days is just hint at AI and companies will fall over themselves to throw money at you.
DO have been chugging the AI koolaid for a long while now, so this tracks.
It has to be some sort of money laundering scheme
Oh my god this whole Omarchy thing is so unbelievably corrupted.
They’re laundering money while actual important FOSS projects are dying without funding.
Ugh now I need to migrate
Fuck giving money to xenophobes. Especially ones who can’t code for shit and don’t understand basic Linux security.
omarchy is a bastardisation of what arch can offer.
if dhh really cared about open-source, linux and arch, he should be using his platform to educate a wider audience on how to customise their own installs.
reality is that he’s slop personified.
If someone that isn’t a Nazi wants to vibecode an OS, and takes it seriously enough to use the AI as a learning tool? Closing holes and patching bugs as they learn? I’m down.
Let’s go, I wanna join up. Should we make this as a NixOS flake?
A Nazi whose primary skills are marketing, financial connections, and Managerial “experience”? Fuck all the way off.
I feel a need to say “merry Kirkmas” in context. May dhh find rehab instead, and clean up his fucking mess.
Well, looks like I’m migrating my projects this weekend.
Same. Someone on Mastodon gave praises to https://upcloud.com/. They’re also on Masto @upcloud@glitchy.upcloud.world
Their VPS plans look decent: https://upcloud.com/global/products/cloud-servers/#plans
What’s up with all the bald men though?
Edit: nvm, only half of them are bald.
As a bald man myself, I can not speak to their specific Baldman tribe.
Also bald. I think growing a beard at this time is necessary to avoid the Lex Luther, Jeff Bezos rich evil billionare look.
Agreed. Then dye it some bright color to really distance yourself from the villain look
Not a bright colour… Ventiblack lolol
One of my favorite facts about O’Marky is how the firewall, one of two security features in this distro serious about security, wasn’t even enabled. They didn’t announce this gap to their users, just quietly marked it fixed. But they failed to fix it until well into the next major release.
Oh, hi marky
fuckin… why…
Fascists, that’s why.
I love this Omarchy thing: it’s helping separate the wheat from the chaff.
I only wished there was a site that listed all the “bad” guys… they seem to be way more numerous than I imagined.
Are you baiting me?
that list is depressing. I just unfollowed 3 of them. Thank you.
Whoops. Looks like I’m moving the last of my customers away from them.
I just left this comment, might be an alternative for you: https://programming.dev/comment/25901788
This isn’t programming related but i want the omarchy fundraiser person helping fund my project. Serriously i only need like 1%
I start to believe that he paid the YouTubers money in order for them to do these videos listed on the website.
agentic
How about no
