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.
yes they should talk about it but that’s not what he’s reviewing. He’s focusing on the hype around the OS and if its even deserving of that. Why would a tech review bring in politics, it would come off as him just hating dhh and some would wave him off as a “hater”. I think the fact that he’s just talking about the software gives him credibility and shows that dhh is just a shit developer when it comes to operating systems. There’s already enough pieces about how he might be a shit human being but not enough about if he’s deserving of his merit just because he helped developed ruby on rails.
sure sure, but the review is about an OPINIONATED SOFTWARE e.g. the Opinions of DHH. So of course it should be part of the review.
A shit opinion of Dhh is for example, that you can’t partition or use a partition as the target in the install script and have to sacrifice an entire disk…
opinionated software is about how you think software should behave. its not about personal world views related to how a person thinks other people should be treated in the real world.
the article is just about reviewing the OS (and if it can even call itself a linux distro). Its not about dhh himself, plenty of threads and posts about him out there already.
Tldr but the article’s author seems to not know / mention Omarchy is developed by a raging racist?
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

Ooh that’s a strong argument. Kudos!
