As if SystemD, FlatPak and others weren't already trying to centralize the Linux ecosystem.And from what I can tell, it isn't even a distro. It's just Arch bundled with a bunch of configuration files. So not a real distro, just a pre-configured Arch installation.

So it seems like from now, and into the foreseeable future, every year, Americans will have one day where we are divided and want to kill each other, and are united in grief the next day.

@coolboymew @ube It's Nick Land. Nick Landian just means someone who aligns with his ideas.

@coolboymew @ube He's one of those NRx types, people like Curtis Yarvin. They want city-states that compete for citizens and are run by tech CEOs.

@sun I think both sides are in on it to destroy FOSS.

@djsumdog @meso @Dan_Ramos It's conjecture because it's all fake. This trial is literally copied beat for beat from an Irish trial back in 2020, right down to the dates (minus the years) and the first initials of the children's names.https://mileswmathis.com/clancy.pdf (page 13)

I'm starting to think that Omarchy exists for the same reason that Drew DeVault exists, to fracture the Linux/FOSS community by creating pointless drama. From the looks of it, I think both sides are in on it to destroy FOSS and make it unusable in most circumstances.

Either way, I don't think I would recommend Omarchy, just from the security issues and the vibe-coded nature alone. If you want a non-woke distro, either OpenMandriva or Devuan is probably your best bet.

@Hephaestic @sun He's honestly the one person who actually deserves to be on Drew's hit-list.

The worst thing to come out of this Lindsay Clancy shitshow is that people are now having serious, philosophical discussions about post-birth abortions.

Looking back on it, I'm actually kind of glad that I have never created or contributed to a *major* open-source project, even though I could've been a huge skill and resume booster because had I been a micro-eceleb in that field, I would've had a nasty encounter with the usual suspects sooner or later and that would've ended my career right there.

Though I do regret not brushing up my programming skills for the past decade. Was way too suckered into the current events going on at the time even though they didn't affect me and it really distracted me from doing what I truly loved.

@kumicota Well, given that they see everything through a political lens, they can still cancel you, even if you don't have a social media presence connected to your FOSS presence.By my principles, I object to including CoCs or banning people for off-site conduct and that makes me cancel-worthy right there.

@beardalaxy They're still around? It seemed like they've stopped appearing after DoorDash took off.

I hate Dr. Bronner products. I don't care if they are the most organic soaps/shampoos/toothpastes on the market. Their toothpastes leave a very nasty aftertaste and their soaps give you old woman smells. Stick to Everyman Jack for shampoos and Hello Toothpastes for toothpastes (or just use baking soda + essential oils). Don't waste your money on this hippy garbage that makes you smell like shit.

@gabriel Psyop or not, it did get people to obsess over politics to a very unhealthy degree (myself included) and did destroy a lot of Internet communities, so I will always look at the thing negatively. I was only suckered into it because the hobbies I were into were suckered into it and everyone had the mentality of "everyone is the enemy unless proven otherwise, so you might as well pick a side".I wished it never happened. My life would be so much better if it didn't (though I argue that COVID was 1000x worse than the culture war).I'll leave the possibility that it DID happen organically, but only in niche blogs/forums and maybe politicians and CEOs discovered that they could take advantage of it by bringing it to the mainstream.But either way, I feel like that it has gotten to the point that even if you did get rid of the top of the pyramid, people would still be fighting over these issues and I don't know the best way to address it, at least a way that pleases most people.

So I had to restart the platformer project, again, due to the events going on the past month making me lose track. I'm going back to a vertical platformer like Kid Icarus, and hopefully I can actually finish it.

It's like I can never make a platforming game, despite the genre being so popular and being able to learn a lot from the experience.
