    I love the icing on the cake

    BTW: A quick shout out to your favorite tech influencer, who probably has at least one video reviewing the Omarchy project without mentioning anything along these lines. It is unfortunate that these influential people barely scratch the surface on a topic like this, and it is even more saddening that recording a 30 minute video of someone clicking around on a UI seemingly counts as a legitimate “review” these days. The primary focus for many of these people is seemingly on pumping out content and generating hype for views and attention rather than providing a thoughtful, thorough analysis.

    A big thanks goes to the author. I really like the post. At least 99% of it, I think sudo is ok, docker is ok as well, I wouldn’t use it but we are all free to choose our tools.

    Whole point of this “distro” is that it comes with bloat preinstalled?

    A few exmples:

    ChatGPT, Discord, Docker, Figma, GitHub, Google Contacts, Google Messages, Google Photos, HEY, Kdenlive, OBS Studio, Obsidian, Signal, Spotify, Typora, WhatsApp, X, YouTube, Zoom???

    Wtf… Why

      That’s probably a good choice, since it makes a perfect response to “politics shouldn’t matter, here, just merit.” Turns out…

        And the merit of dhh is highly tarnished by him being an overall piece of shit. No, politics always matters.

        And it also should come into focus when it’s about a highly opinionated piece of software

          I agree that creating is inherently political, because politics pervades creation whether we choose the politics or not, but that’s not a useful argument after somebody says “it doesn’t matter to me.” If you want to get into that shouting match, it’s your time to waste.

          My point is that, behind the garbage philosophy, we also now know that it’s garbage technology, so all these people telling us about their utopian meritocracy where we just ignore bigotry are exposed as full of it. Cloudflare, Framework, and so forth, are not only OK with Great Replacement rhetoric, but also incapable of telling solid software from broken, and that’s a stronger indictment than just trying to drag the conversation back to the bigotry.

    I’m not clicking on a link that looks like someone typed it in by putting their head on the keyboard

      Welcome to today’s 10,000. Today’s episode is about Punycode. It’s basically a standardized way of putting unusual characters in a domain name.

      The way the link is shown in your interface/client, it’s giving you the encoded version that looks nonsensical. But if you click on it, the link in your browser’s address bar will more likely render properly.

      I’ve seen this done with URLs that contain emojis, this one contains katakana (?) characters.
