Awesome to see Omarchy getting more visibility! Fireship’s vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers is huge!

I don’t use this distro myself, but I still cheer for anything that helps motivate Windows users to make the switch.

    This issue represents all you need to know about omarchy.
    There is also this:

    DHH proudly advertises that the main branch of their repository is called master instead of main, to own the libs or something.

        What does switching from the default name ‘main’ back to master achieve; and why are they advertising this on xitter? On an unrelated note, do you know what a dog whistle is?

          It doesn’t really matter what they call it, does it? Just like changing the name to “main” didn’t achieve anything.

          Words have multiple definitions. The definition that git’s usage is based on is:

          an original movie, recording, or document from which copies can be made. “the master tape” synonyms: original, archetype, prototype

          This shouldn’t have been “problematic” either way. It’s just all virtue signals. We aren’t rushing to rename Master Degrees are we?

        Cunts like DHH are trying to turn Linux into yet another nazibar and you are questioning me on calling it out?

          I just rather want to have open-source software separate from politics if you don’t mind.

          EDIT: And before people saying I’m a nazi or something… I’m not.

            I do in fact mind as non-political is usually just code for “lets be horrible to women and minorities, and if you say anything you are being political”; besides I don’t think you could describe both the free software software and the later open source software movement as anything other than political.

            Having open source literally is political as it stands opposed to close and proprietary code. You can’t have it without being political.
