1 monthI just don’t get it. Separating the art from the artist is not a black and white thing…Like a lot of people worked on the harry potter movies and many people fell in love with those before reading the books, and when Rowling went anti-trans, you could reasonably argue that the films were a collaborative work that you can still love. But this? A pre-configured Arch made by one guy who makes his headline presence maligning minorities? I don’t see how giving money to him is anything other than a company saying his views are explicitly endorsed by the donor.
But why? Why is everybody funding this piece of shit? Besides being shit politically it’s also shit technically. I don’t get it.

WTF. Why not contribute to Arch, Cachy, KDE, Inkscape, Krita, Kdenlive etc. Omarchy is just a meme distro of half arsed dotfiles. How is hyprland better than Niri or Cosmic built on Smithay which are at least written in an over hyped safe modern language. Why are some d-list tech celebs dotfiles better than my quickshell config? And how about we sponsor something that would make a real difference to people like better accessibility in Gnome and KDE or is that too woke these days?

Is this some new money laundering thing? Are companies “buying in” to hobnob with other wealthy people? Is this just the latest Country Club or whatever?
I seriously don’t understand why all these companies are throwing money at a project that is almost assuredly going to “mismanage” it.

If I had to guess, this is the techbro/epstein crew trying to get a foothold in Linux. The writing is on the wall; Windows is dead, and they want to funnel the migration into their new Omarchy ecosystem. They’ll probably start advertising bigly once Kushner and MBS invest.

I have a meeting with a DigitalOcean Account Manager scheduled for tomorrow because I wanted to move my business over from Azure. Guess it’s time to cancel it and tell them why.

Yes, go with the MIC, actual fascist supporting megacorp to stick it DO
Honest to God, I’m not a tin foil hat kinda guy, but I can’t wait to read the papers on the strategies around centralizing technically adept ‘activists’ (WH definition lol) onto cooperative platforms by hugely exaggerating tiny shit like this in 40 years. This is even more poorly sighted than the Mullvad stances from a few weeks ago.
How many killings did digital ocean orchestrated with AI?

I think your comment is needlessly antogonizing. I’m not unaware of MS’s complicity in the genocide, which is why I’m moving away in the first place.

For anyone who is struggling to figure out how to delete their DigitalOcean account (it’s not obvious):
- In Account Settings, delete all of your teams
- This redirected me to a different setting page with an option to deactivate my account
- Click Deactivate Account
- Select the checkbox to purge your account data
- Confirm that you’d like to deactivate and purge your account
- (Optional but recommended) Fill out the exit survey and tell them that they’re supporting a neo-Nazi
- 1 month
5 - Thanks for your input casually puts paper in bin, it was great having you…
- In Account Settings, delete all of your teams
