Also fun how he “funds” Hyprland but then kinda expects the project to not have paid features anymore? That seems predatory
Ffs i didn’t know 1password an futo were also part of this. My employer uses 1password for everything, guess i have one more thing to be annoying about now.
Damnit. I’m using the FUTO swipe keyboard straight from their fdroid repo.
You know what?
Fuck that. As an open source dev, my solidarity is needed, and it isn’t lesser than the convenience their keyboard gives. It may be a small gesture, but it’s better than ignoring my principles.
Damnit.
I liked 1Password but I’ll be god damned if I’m giving them any more money.
It’s nice that people are finally starting to write about what a coke fuelled POS DHH is. People within the Ruby community have known this for years. the fact that he is where he is because of some truly horrible PHP is mind boggling.
Everyday my longstanding hatred of DHH is proven correct. I never liked him or his ideas, and seeing his shitty-but-accepted ideas in full context did a lot to help me understand how fascism is more than just ideology: It’s world view, it’s practices, it’s lifestyle.
12 million seems like a LOT for any distro
Yep. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the distro. This is just rich fascists throwing money at eachother. There are thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of other projects that are more deserving and in more need. This is entirely about who and not what.
This isn’t even a distro, just some configuration on Arch
He should funnel 11mil back upstream to Arch, we all know that won’t happen, but it should.
Also for those wanting to get into Hyprland try out: ML4W. Its the best dotfiles I’ve used and the creator seems fine, no controversy AFAIK.
The problem there is Hyprland itself, with vaxry not being much better than DHH
Idk much about vaxry, but that project has outgrown one person and is maintained / contributed by hundreds. Its also the best tiling wm for Wayland so far (IMO).
Happy to try others out eventually but for now its too good to skip.
Gentoo does a wild amount of work on $12k per annum but I don’t think $12m is that crazy - if it’s more than you can spend then you can pass it on to your dependencies. We shouldn’t expect open source contributors to do everything as a volunteer effort because then it becomes a rich person pastime. What’s infuriating here is that this $12m goes to people who aren’t exactly doing anything worthwhile.
Not when your buddies are billionaires.

That is not how it goes when millions of dollars are involved 🤦
But even if it was, not caring who you give money to is not is not a defence against supporting fascism.
How is corporations donating millions of dollars to a fascist not normalizing the ideology?
It’s not a foundation. It COULD HAVE been one but in typical coke fuelled ranting DHH fashion he blogged about how the money would go towards marketing thus, womp womp, no tax exempt foundation for you buddy.
Well, shit, I’d only heard of vaxry because we seem to share an opinion on D-Bus.
