drewdevault should be the last person anybody uses as a judge of character or facts
Drewdevault is a weird guy with enough of his own problems (one of which your link explains), but that doesn't make his judgement of DHH any more or less factual.
Please don't post stuff like this on HN. This is not the place for dirt-files, exposés or whatever this is.

oh really? somehow that does not apply to his dirt-files against RMS. not only once but twice he has gotten away with a smear campaign here, but i guess birds of a feather stick together.
Can you point to any links that demonstrate this?
Character assassination has always been against the guidelines here, and also very much against the tastes of all the moderators I know. That applies regardless of who it’s about or what they’ve done, because it’s nothing to do with the them, it’s all about what HN is and the kind of people we want to be.

I have more of an Issue with the Omarchy sponsorship. While i disagree with Hyprland's maintainer at least Hyprland is actually engineering something great and making it free software. Omarchy is basically just a script.
Not a fan of either but I feel obligated to point out they don't appear to be sponsoring Omarchy, they just posted about it on their social media account(s). Hyprland they actually did do a small sponsorship for.
Yeah I think there might be a mixup with Cloudflare, who are sponsoring Omarchy.
Omarchy is the passion project of a really wealthy person and is backed by his profitable business. What does ‘sponsoring Omarchy’ mean? Like.. where does that money go?

I think it amounts to providing free premium CDN service, the stuff you'd usually have to pay for. They didn't say anything about cash money changing hands.
That’s really reasonable then (I guess apart from any disagreements with the authors views). Omarchy isn’t just a post installation script, they have the entire thing bundled as an ISO. So I can see why an in-kind sponsorship of a CDN makes sense. Although it’s still unclear to me how Omarchy specifically fits into ‘the future of the open web’ vs Ladybird

> it's just a script.
... That has brought in thousands of new users to Linux in the past couple of months.
How have your scripts done in comparison?
