I know about omarchy and seen that guy interviewed a couple of times. How the fuck am I just now aware he is a nazi? He seemed egotistical for sure, and his contribution to open source is .. basically his personal dotfiles? I think that this shit was still completely devoid of extermination of minorities manifestos and hatespeech. But seriously how do you know if someone wants to kill refugees? why doesn't he say so in the interviews or in the source code so we can know? This is fucked up. A faschist idea would be to keep a list. But omg, if you want to exterminate children that fled from war, please just say so in your dotfiles! Idk why this bothers me so.. I really do care if my config was made by a hateful hand even if it doesn't show
Completely agreed. Unfortunately he was also the "Ruby on Rails" guy, so for a long time he had serious developer cred. It is really sad to see.
Did they finally boot him off the project? Or is most of the rails community still ignoring the problem?
It's like one of the founders of Mullvad VPN (very very rich OG Swedish hacker from way back when) came out as supporting a serious right wing nationalist party in Sweden a couple months back, he paid them like $500K to make sure they stayed in politics and won.
They are the best VPN, but I'm not coming back once my subscription expires.
What is even happening? Are we seeing something like a return to lead poisoning, but there some chemical in our environment that's rotting people's brains the same way but we don't know about it just like we didn't know about lead at first?
It's the corrosive force of capital
We have too many people gaining power divorced from consequences
My mullvad account has only 15 days left, but i already switch to windscribe vpn. Did my research so far so good... https://kumu.io/Windscribe/vpn-relationships#vpn-company-relationships
All right windscribe.
Thing is with Mullvad is that I know for a fact that they don't keep logs. The cops raided their place twice and they learned after that that there's no point. They let them in and do whatever they wanted- they knew they wouldn't find anything.
That type of trust is hard to come by.
Fuck nazis man, they infect the best of us. Such a copout. I suppose it's something about... They get sentimental in their old years and remember a country that is no longer there- I feel that shit too, but I don't get caught up in nationalist cosplay and LARP parties about it, shit changes, we need to fight for it without being fucking nazis. There's a middle road here I feel.
Sorry, I just got rambling, didn't mean to, but damn.
Nah no rant at all. I'm with you, feels like running away from nazis, ai slop, enshittification... Now days.
It's overwhelming and keeps me up at night.
I'm more than prepared to fight it. Just awaiting orders.
Meh I'm being dramatic. Sort of. I fight, we all fight.
What is that quote, under tyranny every democratic act is an act of rebellion? I paraphrase.
I partially blame people with big audiences that keep hyping him up and platforming him. Primeagen interviewed him on YouTube and was worshipping him the entire video. Embarrassing display.
