#dhh

@connel@mastodon.social Which interviewer doesn't read the latest one or two blog posts of the person they're going to interview (a person known to be a prolific blogger) for preparation to know what to talk about? The people interviewing and platforming #DHH *know* about his fascism. And they either agree with it or choose to overlook it for the attention that an interview with DHH will bring them. This behavior is no different than how capitalists treated Hitler and the Nazis in the 1930s/1940s.

@Puck@sfba.social DHH is charismatic (in the eyes of impressionable/young people) if you don't know much about him and don't know his blog posts.

how many people won't see this info? How many young guys will get sucked into it?

Exactly. Young people will see all their favorite YouTubers shilling for this "hot new Linux distribution" by this charismatic guy DHH and start using Omarchy without necessarily being fascists. And that is how they get pulled into fascism and toxic communities.

Omarchy is a recruiting method and breeding ground for a new generation of fascists. See also the conference Omacon with which they already made the step from the Online into the Offline.

RE: https://floss.social/@kde/117322549131682125 This article claims that #Framework has severed its relationship with #DHH and #Omarchy. I was unaware of this. Questions I could use help answering if you know anything: 1) Can anybody point at any evidence that Framework has actually done that? I'm glad to hear it if it's true, but saying it doesn't make it so. 2) Remind me, was there anything else we were upset about regarding Framework, other than giving money to DHH and Omarchy and then being shitty about it when they were called out?

Speaking of boycotts, #Omarchy is an open-source Linux distribution created by David Heinemeier Hansson (#DHH), the coder behind Ruby on Rails. DHH has also been infected by the billionaire virus that turns rich white guys into white supremacists. His comments have been pretty vile, some verging on exterminationism. DHH is a Nazi, and Omarchy is a vibe-coded Nazi bar. But he’s not alone in that Nazi bar. You want a list of people who’ve given millions to the cause of this Nazi? I got you. https://omarchy.org/patrons/ Boycott Nazi supporters: #1Password#37Signals #alibabaCloud#Block #Cloudflare #Coinbase #Dell #DigitalOcean #Dropbox #Meta #OpenClaw#OpenAI #Sesame #Shopify #Stripe #TapTap And many, many more.

#DHH's #Omarchy again This year I first heard of Gentoo Linux, and in my journey of learning about Gentoo I quickly discovered the YouTube channel "Mental Outlaw" which produces helpful Gentoo content. A few days ago, he made a video about Omarchy. My first reaction was displeasure before I noticed he doesn't shill (at least not so obviously) for Omarchy but dunks quite a bit on it. I'm still disappointed. Unlike others (such as NetworkChuck), he doesn't glorify Omarchy but points out all the technical issues, like the insecure Docker configuration, and the fact that it's entirely vibe-coded, etc. The first few minutes, before he dives into the many technical issues with Omarchy, he even describes the entire story with the (as far as I know, still non-existent) Omacom Foundation: that it's a bunch of fascist billionaires funding this project. He even shows the vile racist blog posts by DHH where DHH calls for "wolves to be shot" and "gypsies" to be deported, etc. He shows the StopOmarchy website. But, as a person of color himself, he then surprisingly(?) makes the mental gymnastics of saying, "politics don't interest me" and "yes, they all are fascists, but I don't care about that, I care only about Omarchy's technical issues". And then goes on to showcasing "AI" agents. I don't understand it. I don't understand people. Even those who seemed reasonable enough. Even those who see all issues and even point them out … but then make a hard turn, and give in to using "AI" agents and ignore the glaring fascism. With Gentoo being a niche distribution, there isn't so much content on YouTube about it. I used to enjoy watching "Mental Outlaw" for Gentoo content (for entertainment), but I cannot enjoy it anymore. The reason I became interested in Gentoo in the first place is because I want to escape from having to use systemd which has taken a grip on almost every Linux distribution. I hesitated to write this comment because—big news, another one shills for fascism. Will I write a comment for every single tech YouTuber? It obviously still needs to be said though: If you don't care about "politics" in 2026, you're a privileged "fuck you, I got mine" asshole. I cannot put it any different. #Linux #Gentoo #GentooLinux #fascism

Oh look - #DHH is doing the "swords up"... just like Chris Ruffo. This #omarchy business is really emboldening him to go full nazi

I wish I needn't care about Omarchy or DHH. Maybe you're annoyed by now by all the posts about Omarchy. I mean, we get it: DHH recently discovered Linux after he got sick of Apple taking 30% of all his revenue, and as a narcissistic millionaire businessman he's naturally trying to make some bucks with his configuration files or at least increase his fame. We took a look at his so-called "distribution" and all it turned out to be is just Arch Linux with some shitty vibe-coded bash scripts on top. Okay, so what? We don't have to use Omarchy if we don't like it, so simply move on. Why continue obsessing over Omarchy or whether others like it? If I decided to install Arch on my machine after an evaluation of all Linux distributions, I wouldn't be obsessively reading about Ubuntu every day long after I already decided in favor of Arch. Also, if I decided for myself that my preference is NixOS, then what does it matter to me if other people have other preferences, and themselves prefer Fedora or Mint? Why still obsess over Omarchy? I believe this is a story about more than just "one person's dotfiles". One person's Linux configuration wouldn't attract close to 20 million USD and growing, even if it's a famous person. It's also not just some tax evasion scheme. What will really unfold here remains to be seen, but I believe what is happening here is that one of the loudest white-supremacist voices in the software industry is rallying behind him (in preparation for something awful) those executives and rich people who now don't fear consequences for a full mask-off fascist moment. They don't need 18 million USD to ensure the continued development of Hyprland. They are collecting money and are preparing for something else, something bigger than that, something bigger than saving peanuts in taxes, something awful to happen. I wish we needn't have to, but Omarchy is suspicious as hell and this is something we definitely need to continue monitoring. Someone here on Mastodon suggested this is a story an investigative journalist should dig into. I agree. #fascism #DHH #Omarchy

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@flyingpenguin/117212838196276138

I see a lot of timid responses to 1Password funding the Neo-Nazi DHH and his fascist collaborators:

"I threatened to cancel my 1Password subscription and will happily give them my money again when they come back to their senses."

Please, don't be so naive.

• First of all, 1Password is largely owned by Shopify executives who are all friends of DHH. DHH is a director at Shopify.
• Second, the VP of 1Password is using Nazi dogwhistles and also fully on DHH's side.

@flyingpenguin@infosec.exchange is a historian of (Nazi) German history. Read his article.

Friedrich Nietzsche had this idea of a "will to power". His Nazi sister turned that into Nazi propaganda after Friedrich's death.

DHH wrote a blog post containing "will to power" in its title.

It's no accident that the VP of 1Password used the words "force of will". It's a dogwhistle.

Don't be naive, folks.

Cancel 1Password, give them the finger, and tell them to go to hell. They are Neo-Nazis.

Don't tell them you'll return as a customer once they found their way again.

I'm waiting to see what happens before I jump ship (still feel that 1Password is the best of the bunch), but this is pretty darn horrid. https://www.theverge.com/tech/988536/1password-dhh-linux-controversy #1password #dhh #news #tech

With the #Stripe CEO also donating 1 million bucks to Eurofascist extraordinaire #DHH's foundation, our business will be moving away from Stripe, in favour of Mollie. This was already planned, but now it's become imperative. If you're on Stripe, consider switching to #EU based #Mollie:

@lobsters@mastodon.social It'd be pretty funny if nobody actually ends up using #Omarchy. These companies would've been wasting millions of dollars on a nothing burger. It takes alot more time to install something in #Arch than it does in other distros, since everything needs to be compiled from source. This is why Arch was a niche distro in the first place, and these stupid #DHH vibecoded shell scripts won't change anything but the initial setup procedure, while the compilation time is still just as long.

@1password@1password.social is funding known racist and all around asshole #DHH's insecure #Linux distro #Omarchy? WTF is this about? I've been a #1Password customer for many years but it's not possible to recommend after this. How about you claw this money back right now and never touch any of his projects again with a ten foot pole? 😡

Wealthy people are increasingly open in their support for the idea of #neofeudalism. This time Tobias Lütke, Founder and CEO of #Shopify: people who pay more taxes should get more votes (or votes with more weight). One could say: typical of a company that has a ‘controversial’ figure like #DHH on its board. Gfy.

RE: https://sfba.social/@drahardja/116943945342895564 Ok, so the founder of #Ruby is a fascist and one of the owners of Multivad VPN is also a fascist? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Heinemeier_Hansson #RubyOnRails #Multivad #fascism opensource #DHH #Berntsson #Hennemeier

Rails is launching a "reference apps" page. There are hundreds of open-source #rails apps, but they only found 3 ... and they're all maintained by (racist) #DHH's company ... At this point, it's a cult.

I've set up a Matrix space for anyone up for forking #Rails away from #DHH's influence. Let's start actively working on this. https://matrix.to/#/#forking-rails:matrix.org (If there's already a space for this, do let me know, I'll go there instead)

The parallel between Proton's sponsorship of Vincent Lapierre and Framework's DHH/Omarchy sponsorship is striking. What separates them is the response: Proton terminated the deal and acknowledged the misstep. Framework doubled down on "software first" neutrality while critics raised legitimate concerns about who they were financially backing. Different outcomes, same underlying issue, companies claiming ethical stances need to vet partnerships consistently, not just reactively. #Proton #Framework #Omarchy #DHH #Privacy #FOSS #OpenSource

@tsdgeos@fosstodon.org @noodlejetski@masto.ai @soapdog@toot.cafe but @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org doubled down on their supoort for #DHH when there are only few people like #RMS that are worse. I'd rather loved to see them do a raffle for that among #FLOSS maintainers…
