The amount they charge in a subscription for the luxury of storing a few megabytes of encrypted file in the cloud and developing an app which if designed securely in the first place should require very little maintenance except bug-fixes related to OS upgrades and API changes is already ridiculous. Figures they’d spend a bunch of that supporting tech fascism given they make their livelihood off renting you something that should be sold once or sold yearly at the amount they charge a month.

1Password Supports the Ethnic Cleansing of Europe
Oh wait its about a nazi, i thought it was about supporting white genocide

Crazy that Omarchy, a distro that’s basically vaporware, is getting almost as much funding as the PSF.
PSF has ~$5m/year, and that money is earmarked for the language and the whole Python ecosystem (including major related projects like PyPi, Ansible, etc.)
A distro that’s just a skin on another distro getting this kinda funding is nutso.
It’s also weird to me because, if we take it at face value: Shouldn’t an AI-built system be super cheap to build and maintain?
If big-tech was telling the truth about how great AI is, it shouldn’t need all this funding or support. The fact that they needed to pump a lot of money into it is pretty telling to me…
Well, yeah. Anyone who actually has to interact with AI systems knows that it’s just a back box you put developer salaries into and get tech debt out of lol. They need the funding because they need actual devs to pay down the tech debt that’s already been accumulated by the AI code.
Is it still just a collection of configs and installation scripts?
I think it’s expanded a bit, but it’s still not even close to a project like UBlue/Bazzite. Definitely not something that needs Millions in funding. DHH just wants to use that money to pay fascist devs to take over his upstream dependencies.
damn it as a long time i3wm enjoyer I’m watching the demo videos and I am not hating what I am seeing. too much wasted space and visual faff for my taste but keyboard-driven and tiling are both things that more computer operating environments should be
I don’t know why they need so much funding or where all this supposed agent dev time went though
There are plenty of TWMs out there, you can find dozens of spins that have similar functionality that are maintained by like one 18 year old furry kid on a budget of $15
Fedora also has an i3 spin if you want to try something atomic.
Yeah it’s mystifying that this should be so expensive to develop. It’s all nicely integrated but what have they really built? A pretty good menu tool, some themes, and some redundant package distribution infrastructure.
I run my laptop without a GUI at all, just live in tmux. I’ve even vibed up a bunch of TUI utilities to make my browserless life easier. Ran i3 for years before that. Didn’t occur to me that I should ask for donations.
fuck’s sake I’ve heard the word “omarchy” too many times in the last week for this to be organic
A bunch of rich assholes just gave them several million dollars
For a second I thought this was about cleansing Europe of native Europeans
OK, I’m going to have to switch to self hosted bitwarden now
I have a keepass file that I keep synced between all my devices with syncthing. No corporations to do hateful shit, no servers to breach
Never had any problems with keepass.
Use vaultwarden. Its basically bitwarden but with a rust backend and all features automatically unlocked.
Well if it uses Rust then I gotta use it. Thank you
But for everyone else, the rust backend has a way smaller footprint than
microsoft javaC# and to selhost bitwarden without the paywall is an AGPL violation. Not that anyone will prosecute you for that but have some sort of honor code.to selhost bitwarden without the paywall is an AGPL violation.
wot if you publish your selfhosted fork that has the paywall removed?
