From reading about Omarchy and community reactions it sounds like DHH is a successful grifter, milking money from corps with pictures of agentic promised land. HOWEVER grift will go bust at some point: does anyone remember SaaSpocalipse that did not materialize,along with numerous articles from people with degrees pointing out that there's no data supporting claim that AI is actually making money for it's peddlers or consumers. AI grifts will continue until "market" will finally acknowledge it for what it is (it's just a new shiny tool, no more) and all the myths go bust and investors will want their money back. So - yes money got "stolen" from actual OSS projects that keep world's lights on, yes vibecoding has not been proven to scale or endure multiple decades like Debian, Gentoo, Fedora etc. so it'll collapse from technical standpoint, but it WILL collapse unless DHH will start applying those grants towards hiring engineers. Token money are not worth paper they are printed on so everybody just chill and let this trainwreck go off the cliff on it's own. Shame DO got into it though... but for all the major cloud platforms who isn't supporting fascism? What differs is the scale.

AI bot problem is real and there is no good solution to it. Look, I very much dislike GitHub for various reasons BUT currently there is no good way to throttle AI bots that literally trash web. They are like that geeky classmate who can never hold his liquors: it's nice having them around for some answers, but they ramble a lot and shit/puke in random places of the house making it unlivable.
so a full decade (or more) in the country and they still don't get it? Canadians actually don't take kindly to bullies (with some notable exceptions). And US (more specifically current Admin) has taken to bullying Canada hard. "kiss and make up"??? Delusional people. I think they need some psychiatric evaluation done. Calgary dwelling conservative supporters have a big distaste for POTUS47 so I guess the only sympathetic crowd would be "independent AB" crowd which is also not-so-secretly "51st state" crowd.
There are more subversive ways folks. Threatening is the last resort. One can always send them a truckload of ripe durians paid and with no return address. Accidents may happen with manure delivery as well as butchery disposal trucks. Stop playing vigilante - go big, go POTUS47-style bombastic pointless and infuriating. They will love that. Send them tons of mail with sugar icing in envelopes. You know...There's no need for violence or petty revenge.
well, then there are Flatpaks, which are fairly easy to install, cross-distro etc. But essentially above is correct installing "random sh#t" on Linux is possible but WHY would you want to bring really bad security practices into environment where it a lot easier to implement good security?
we need more of folks like Myers right now. And fewer political clowns
the real answer to question "why people speed" is someplace closer to "why was this neighbourhood road designed like a freeway". Another is "why is it safe to have virtually no speed limits on Autobahns?". I mean people act on environmental queues - from the size of lanes to what speed fellow motorists are observing. Just pinning it on individuals is incorrect. HOWEVER there are entitled arseholes out there who will totally ride jour read bumper at high speed because they need to pass you only to turn off at nearest exit.
And it will work. NOT because GOP are masterminds or excel at execution, no. But because Dems will let them. Dems would rather concede to Republicans then let progressives have any power. So get ready for Dems torpedoing their own candidates, pissed off voters voting for Republicans in protest.
if you care to walk "on the wild side" I'd say use LVM, create one big volume covering entire drive then do 50G for / and 20G for /home . I use ext4 since it offers live resize2fs. So the drill is: you set up OS etc. and whenevr you get closer ti the allocated limit bump it by 5G with lvresize + resize2fs which allows you to "grow into" your setup. Also allows snapshots of running OS in cases of iffy updates OR parallel second distro install with subsequent distro removal and space still being at your disposal after it's gone. BTRFS is fun but offers less flexibility than LVM IMO.
Try either one and see for yourself. I would recommend to partition carefully isolating /home so that you can wipe distro but keep your files and settings. Distro pick is rather personal thing - folks find their groove in various ways. I'm on Fedora and have been with Fedora for ages, never owned Windows machine so I'm not your average user, BUT looking at self-starters today I do see a lot more gravitating towards Fedora whereas previously I saw more Ubuntu jumps. YMMV, but distro-hopping is not a bad thing. Partition wisely and pains of distro-hopping won't be as pronounced 😃
Kelley is artisan, Sumner is a factory manager. Indeed they cannot be using same tools or work on the same floor or within the same building. Blind trust in AI (even with guardrails) is a recipe for disaster. They have jumped to Rust to add more guardrails to their AI lunacy but it won't hold for long. At this point there's no single human who actually knows or understands the code and AI code is proven to have durability issues at scale. So direct rewrite gives a quick boost as code is ported from somewhat reviewed base onto new platform, but as new code gets added this will dissipate. It sounds like Bun issue is systemic Zig Rust or Pixie dust won't fix it.
as article points out: that one person is supported by a whole class of Americans - the billionaires. And those in turn are supported by not insignificant portion of American population. So plural is very apropos here.
