So what works for you: seeing him disappear from the Earth? He's not a human anymore? Have you ever spoken with him directly before? Or do you just read and write about people you've never had any real interaction with?

Oh racism!!! Sigh.

So he’s a lost cause to you? You decided already? So much doom and gloom in your response.

He's a person, just like you are. Let him know then, he has an email and you can message him publicly on X.

Well thats what I've noticed lately here on HN, complaining is #1, everything else follows. lol.
Re:Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root on Sunday August 30, 2026 @02:15PM (#49501257)
There were many amazing distros before Omarchy and there will be many after. Use whatever you want, vibecoded or not. Don't tell people what to do. Make your own decisions.

Sad that people just complain about what DHH is doing and how he doesn't know anything. Nobody is forcing anybody to use Omarchy at all. Also $10 million was raised by him for it, did anybody else here raise that for a distro? I'm tired of the constant complaining and criticizing. Nobody said you have to use it.
thank you!!! I missed that sorry
Great work! I'm a fan of the hyprland setup on Omarchy and also daily on Mac! Do you have any screenshots showing some of the tiling, apps running and what not? Looks excellent!
appreciate it! I don't want to bombard the system you set up, but very eager to check as I'm sure there could be income not collected and missing.
Spotify is rate limited so its very difficult to check now. Happy you built it, hopefully we will be able to use it soon to check our catalog.

Sounds like a solid idea
Re:Ask HN: What Linux distro do you daily drive? on Thursday July 23, 2026 @08:22PM (#49029846)
Yes Ubuntu felt very Windows-like to me. I’ve heard lots about Zorin, did you use that with KDE?
Re:Ask HN: What Linux distro do you daily drive? on Thursday July 23, 2026 @08:16PM (#49029807)
That’s hilarious.
Re:Ask HN: What Linux distro do you daily drive? on Thursday July 23, 2026 @08:15PM (#49029802)
Thanks so much, yes I like how you can go to pacman/apt and boom everything is right there! Also I’ve become much more keyboard oriented in navigating and macOS just doesn’t have the same navigation as i3, hyprland, etc. It is intimidating a bit, but I haven’t really felt a challenge on the Mac/windows side for so long that I’m looking forward to it! Thank you.
Re:Ask HN: What Linux distro do you daily drive? on Thursday July 23, 2026 @08:13PM (#49029779)
That’s great advice the main distros tend to have tons of support for much longer and easier to maintain I’m sure. I currently have a Mac mini m4 so I’m thinking a similar sized box with an AMD setup inside, those small mini PCs.
Re:Ask HN: What Linux distro do you daily drive? on Thursday July 23, 2026 @07:22PM (#49029413)
Awesome, I'll take a look at Toshy, too. I was looking into PopOS or CachyOS (with Cosmic). There seems to be such a vast amount of Linux distros and window managers than I remember from a good 5-10 years ago.

Everything seems to be tied to a subscription now on the Windows/Mac side in some way, its been very off putting for me.

I currently have Claude Desktop installed on a separate Mac mini M4 and control it with Dispatch. Is there a reason to do this method, it still seems the way I have it setup it has full control over the local account I gave it on the Mac mini.
Re:Gemini 3 Flash: frontier intelligence built for speed on Thursday December 18, 2025 @10:27AM (#46313763)
I really wish Google would make a macOS desktop app for Gemini just like ChatGPT and Claude have. I'd use it much more if I could login with my sub and not have to open a web browser every single time.
Re:Introduc ing the .ing top-level domain on Wednesday November 01, 2023 @04:33PM (#38104711)
are they insane? Priority for one of the .ing domains I searched for is $1,288,999.99 registration fee and renews at $38,999.99/yr.
People are so excited for cloud gaming, and Xbox Game Pass growing now... The price will continue to go up up up up up up. I remember when YouTube TV was $35/mo now it's $73/mo. Game Pass and all cloud gaming will slowly cost more until it's close to 1/2 the price a month of a game, and slowly creep up from there. Sad.
great work! Useful option!! 250,000 emails at $44/mo (including SES fee).

Currently paying $25 to send 250,000 emails with sendy.co for years. Also using Amazon SES. no monthly fees just pay for what you use plus one time cost of sendy.

Free for up to 5 machines… for now. Lol.
Re:New Mac Mini on Tuesday January 17, 2023 @12:29PM (#34415513)
I feel you, but the laptop can be order with an M2 Max for 64gb+ of RAM. There is no M2 Max Mac mini.... M2 Pro goes up to 32gb.

Very kind and generous of you. This is a wonderful community here at HN! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you as well.

Exactly my thoughts as well!
Re:Mastodon: Servers, Good and Bad on Sunday November 27, 2022 @01:57PM (#33765517)
I felt the same reading the article. So much hate towards a single human. There are many ways to express dislike or disagreement with someone or their ideas and management styles without being so explicit and rude about it. It seems like its a badge of honor and prerequisite to say "I hate Elon, ok moving on about Mastodon..." I believe it's possible to dislike someones views and still have common ground and dialog, but I guess I'm in the minority (online) now.
Re:We will not pursue the potential acquisition of FTX on Wednesday November 09, 2022 @05:36PM (#33539063)
Exactly how it works… but you left out the US Army part this time? You kind of need that to give it value. Nothing else will. USD.
