@nixCraft Why the FUCK is seemingly every company in Silicon Valley lining up to throw their money at some random fascist's dotfiles??? So many nice little *actual* Linux distros which could've done great things with that kind of money

@dch @mort @nixCraft it's not so much "the company" as it is "DHH hangs out with execs of these companies, and he's convinced them to misuse company funds"
Rich people playing money games. It's not like Digital Ocean or 1Password spent a lot of time as a company thinking about this. Someone with access to the company checkbook wrote a check and asked someone to write some PR copy about it. The end.
And for Digital Ocean, they are washing this as "Omarchy is going to use us as their entire CICD pipeline and package hosting" so most of the money they spend is coming right back eventually and they probably get a little tax benefit out of it.
Smells a lot like Nvidia lending OpenAI money to buy Nvidia, just at a different scale. Same shit different day.
edit: usually this type of shit is worked out on golf courses and doesn't get much fanfare
