Awesome to see Omarchy getting more visibility! Fireship’s vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers is huge!
I don’t use this distro myself, but I still cheer for anything that helps motivate Windows users to make the switch.

It is. Let’s look at activitypub, a protocol that allows decentralised services to talk with each other. The protocol is auditable, viewable and modifiable by everyone aka open source.
Everyone can participate in it’s development.
Closed source on the other hand is not auditable, viewable or modifiable unless you are part of the organisation. Only those part of the organisation can participate in it’s development.
Furthermore the open source nature allows to fork by anyone for whatever reasons. Closed source doesn’t allow that.
Changes in a source can affect everyone involved. In close source you can only assume what changed, see YouTube as a recent example or algorithm changes on Twitter or not being able to use your favourite software.
So yes open source is political.
