nothing quite as depressing as seeing a fascist get 8 mil and corpo backing to keep building their "distro" (Yet Another Arch Downstream) while not even having the funds to hire folks full time

(certainly not to be ungrateful to the pmOS community or donations, im certain we have done more good for the world than these assholes will ever do) it does make one ponder about business models though

@cas yeah it seems the trick to financial success is to do as much harm as possible

@danirabbit it's laughably absurd how these systems cause one to even think for a second "is there a way to do xyz harmful thing in a minimally harmful way" and like 😭😭 why can't we just do the nice tech why do people only wanna pay for the bad tech that manipulates you

@cas what did i miss now

@mntmn @cas https://omarchy.org/news/2026/08/omacom-foundation-launches-with-8-million

@mntmn @cas omarchy got 8 million in funding. i don't really know anything about omarchy beyond that it's an arch based distro though.

@rridley @cas white supremarchy

@KerryMitchell @cas ok, no more dell monitors for me i guess

@mntmn @cas It’s a bit strange to see a new Linux distro being hyped like a cryptocurrency initial offering.

@cas Evildoers begat more evildoers, such is the way of capital.

@cas at least we can do more good with less, but yeah, this sucks

people please donate to pmOS if you can!
