@neatnik it seems to be an annual truth that some people value the specific moral character and ideology of the people who make a thing (to varying levels of quality-detriment) while others care about the quality of a product and ignore the character of the person who has made the thing, and that these two groups keep forgetting about each other and being shocked to learn there are people who are not like them

maybe it's just the churn of young people learning the lesson because they were never introduced to it in formal education or childhood

@RustyCrab @neatnik just look at how it actually works and you can see how stupid this is. People only defend because they are a brand new to Linux Redditor who wowed by fancy ricing.

Omarchy is doing nothing special. Its auto arch install is just like existing ones. You can configure hpyrland yourself. DHH has just automated all of this with fragile shell scripts. There is no special sauce here it’s just simplifying the easy stuff at the cost of having a very opinionated default which is hard to customize. I just personally avoid these one man custom rice distros. Same reason I tell people not to use nobara, you are begging to get screwed when they start making their own opinionated changes.

I think finding a guys shells scripts over the actual packages he’s taking from is retarded and reveals this all as a dumb vanity project.

When the community in the movement is almost divided in half about the issues of copyright/intellectual property (a dumb concept) and/or the usage of any AI, it benefits those that want the movement to die. So in a way, by being mad online about some free/open source project using LLMs, those that are angry are helping the other side trying to destroy their movement they are fighting for. How?

When everybody is preoccupied with endless and usually absolutely meaningless arguments ad infinitum, nothing productive ever gets done. The community is divided, contributors and maintainers from both sides now don't get along, forks that didn't need to exist happen and actual progress on writing good software stalls to a halt.

The movement dies.
