And like the other poster said, they are actively working on M series support (building on Asahi's excellent work, of course) and making concrete progress.

GNOME declined the money.

Framework also offered money to KDE. KDE accepted the money.

Framework released a computer that ran Fedora KDE: Freedesktop.org Code of Conduct committee member starts crying about the fascism of it.

Later, when DHH got the Omacom foundation's money pledges in, he contacted Arch/AUR people to see about sending some money or resources their way. They declined.

Some reactions on Mastodon to the Omacom announcements:

PostmarketOS dev: "nothing quite as depressing as seeing a fascist get 8 mil and corpo backing to keep building their 'distro' while not even having the funds to hire folks to work full time.

Elementary OS dev to that: "yeah it seems the trick to financial success is to do as much harm as possible"

And they go on to compare Omarchy to servants of the Chaos God Khorne in Warhammer. You know, a god of bloodshed and warfare. Blood for the Blood God, Skulls to the Skull Throne.

Meanwhile, eg. everything I've ever seen of Vaxry has been orders of magnitude more normal than raving about Hitler particles, and somehow he has a multiyear sponsorship to work on Hyprland fulltime, the maker of Quickshell got hired by Omacom, and some other projects they use have received sponsorships. Only Arch declined.

> One dude comes along, adds some scripts on top of all the work of those maintainers, and gets millions in funding?

Said guy moved most of his own company to that distro, and he and his business partner each put down a million dollars of their own money. Just a while ago, when the foundation paperwork wasn't done yet, DHH said the Vaxry and outfoxxed sponsorships came out of his pocket in case there was a snag with setting up the foundation.

> You can't expect people to be nice then. It's completely messed up.

People seem to have been capable of not shouting about Hitler particles, and somehow it's those people who've been sponsored now that one dude managed to scrounge up serious money. Funny, that.

The dismissive disingenuousness is tiresome. Omarchy hasn't been a set of dotfiles in a long time, and the money has gone to upstream projects - vaxry got paid to be able to dev Hyprland fulltime for up to five years, outfoxxed who makes Quickshell got hired, they sponsored the developer of mise, and hired a kernel developer.

> Why Omarchy?

Because DHH has friends. It's not anything more special than that.

Omarchy started as a pile of dotfiles a year ago. It isn't that anymore, and DHH's intended direction is towards a fully independent foundation distro.

eg. when Framework sponsored Hyprland and Omarchy (amonmg many other projects), a GNOME dev said the Framework people must contain Hitler particles ton even consider doing it.

Framework tried giving money to GNOME, they refused it.

Omacom foundation is established:

The clown problem is real.

The sad part is that stuff like PostmarketOS is a really good idea.

Including Europe. Europe is ruled by people who think 1984 was an instruction manual.

All that said, I don't like the deep desktop-OneDrive type integration, very much a clear, separate sync folders type person, even if I store a bunch of my stuff inside said folder. But Sync Service Kingdoms are to be very clear, it's the one way they will be ~99% benefit, 1% headache.

I'm not saying it's the most likely project to survive, but they've been working in quiet mode for a good while now.

from:EFF "twitter files" on X. Zip, zilch, nada. Nothing about a large government censorship campaign that especially targeted conservatives.

Ostensible names are just that, ostensible. They do not always describe reality and are often chosen to mislead. With woke antiracists, that is exactly the case.

I've seen "antiracist" lecturers say kindly silly little things like "white people are born to not being human", an "antiracist" teacher saying white people are born human, but invariably abused by their parents "into whiteness". The torrent of absolutely blatant anti-white racism from these sorts of people is comical in its proportion, and neverending. Their every campaign is "we'll include sparkles everyone sparkles (NOT YOU), so join us at..."

Somehow, it's hard to take the epithet seriously. I wonder why.

Now they abandon X that's become more free, and head for Bluesky and Mastodon, which are basically recreations of the stifling atmosphere of pre-Musk Twitter.

Freedom for their favoured people to do what they like, perhaps. But for me and others? Nah, not on the program.
