This makes me want to try omarchy

Websites like this just do the opposite of what they are trying to achieve. (Giving more attention to the target.) It means that the alternative distros are not quite effective in their own marketing and Omarchy was able to market and attract funds to their distro better than others, despite the views of the creator. The alternative distros need a proper answer to Omarchy and invest in serious marketing and let the user choose for themselves just like alternative car manufacturers, which even if you check their history, its quite bad and even worse than a distro.

This website's color scheme screams fascism; accusing someone of being the very thing that you are, in psychological terms, is referred to as 'projection'. DHH can be a POS at times, but c'mon - they are painting him like he's a war criminal! It's crazy! He's a nerd who is probably on too much T, probably dealing with some AI psychosis, has a huge ego because of his success, probably should touch grass a little more often and definitely needs a bit more empathy for people who aren't millionaires, but he is not a supervillain.

The HN poster of this owns an extremely anti-social page btw https://boomerdeathwatch.com/ . Before he claims that "they deserved it", note how the page itself does nothing but make them look like a weirdo lol

Kinda agree with others here. Imo omarchy is a slop derivative distro but freaking out about DHH is just going to have the opposite effect. Not every inane thing he does requires a reaction, and the opposite of crazy is also well, crazy, just of a different kind.

The writer of this website and people like them should be removed from having any amount of power and relevance in software development. That is, if you want to do software work instead of bikeshedding with bad faith struggle sessions.
