As someone who was vaguely aware of omarchy and an arch user already, I had no interest in using it. I am happy to see more people talking about why it could be controversial. It helps counter the propaganda being pushed by the influencers right now. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Reading The Omarchy Doctrine made me physically cringe. That alone is a good argument to boycott Omarchy.
It's wild how much it just sounds like a heritage foundation list but with "nerds" slapped to the front

This is some deeply unserious nonsense. Omarchy will blow up the moment it gains any real traction. I can see the infighting coming from miles away, the money will make it worse. Stacking up on popcorn might be a good idea.
Amazing how much shit an unremarkable pseudo distro can stir up. Deservedly. Techbros like DHH are a cancer.
I don't give a shit about DHH or Omarchy.
The sad part and why it sucks so much is because instead of feeding people we just gave $18m to a fascist to babysit some shitty post install scripts......
Reality is stranger than fiction.
Edit. FUCK every org associated with Omarchy. I'll never give them a fucking dime.

"Me: Oh a list of assholes to avoid, nice. Shopify, who tf is that? EZ. 1 keep sucks, lol. Dell...they make trash, easy. Meta, lol, already done. Coin base more like Rube Base am I right? Digital Ocean still relevant in the hosting world? I thought they'd have gone the way of Go Daddy, Ez boycott list."
"Brain: You skipped one."
"Me: reads again Fffffffffffuuuu"
I have no fucking clue how to effectively boycott CloudFlare, gang. That's...kinda the point of how they positioned themselves.
Stupid fucks, they're the only one who stands to make as much hand over fist whether open source enshitifies or not. Except if it enshitifies enough, their spigot stops spilling money.
Greedy cunts and the allure of control, what a dynamic duo.
The fuck to use to replace the quintillion different services CF sells?
Asking for...several friends, actually.
Depends. Everything can be replicated given enough time investment. Depends on the cost and if it is even worth.
One can't really dodge everything. But giving the bare minimum to pass is, in my eyes, acceptable.
Perfect is the enemy of good.
Shopify is the platform that the vast majority of online stores use. It's basically as hard to avoid as CloudFlare.

I cut out Cloudflare with a combination of Quad9 and NetBird Reverse Proxy. It’s not going to be free forever but if I don’t start putting my wallet behind my principles I might find out I don’t have a job or my kid won’t have a planet.
~~Cloudflare~~ Quad9 DNS
For anything else, I guess it depends

The Omarchy Doctrine is a public, fascist creed: heritage as duty, hold the line, the will to power. It matches Roger Griffin's palingenetic populist ultranationalism and Robert Paxton's first stage of fascism: a creed, a leader, followers...
this guy knows how to spot fascism

Fuuuuuck...
Louis Rossmann
Wait what?!
There's three points next to his name:
- "Worked with" someone who has some links to right side politics to get funding for a right to repair non profit.
- Unless there's more info somewhere, I don't see this being overly bad since he's all about trying to change laws for the better, and just by virtue of doing that you will need to at least interact with the slimy part of politics.
- Anti-trans:
which can be paraphrased as “I think transgender women are men but I’m willing to overlook it if we have common cause”- So identity denying. This looks more like he doesn't have enough information than a case of far right conspiracy trans are pedos shit. Seeing how he's changed his mind about things in the past when presented with new information, and knowing how deep he goes into rabbit holes (especially when it comes to rights) when he finds them, I see this as unfortunate, but potentially redeemable.
Louis has been a regular poster on the hate and harassment website Kiwi Farms, posting there from 2023 to the present under the username “larossmann”.- I don't have enough information on this to have a proper opinion. This looks like something that warrants further investigation...

And this is just going to fuel on the fire that is DHH's crusade. He's already called the linux community "a bunch of clowns" so this is just going to generate more money for his dotfiles and more than likely grow the userbase.
Granted the Omarchy userbase are a bunch of morons. Also doesn't help that youtube linux content creators are all pretty much praising the damn thing and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know why. Makes it easy to know which creators to unsub from but it literally leaves it with 4 left one of which doesn't post anymore.
