DigitalOcean joins as a Founding Corporate Patron with $3 million

DigitalOcean is joining the Omacom Foundation as a Founding Corporate Patron, contributing $1 million a year for three years! That’s a $3 million commitment to the development, maintenance, and spread of Omarchy. What an incredible vote of confidence in the beautiful, fun & agentic OS we’re building.

I love this Omarchy thing: it's helping separate the wheat from the chaff.

I only wished there was a site that listed all the "bad" guys... they seem to be way more numerous than I imagined.

    Should Drew himself be on that list? Given: https://dmpwn.info/

    This reads as a right-wing overreaction to decade-old reddit comments that are, at worst, mildly problematic.

    Worst thing I read was about forcing IUDs on teenagers, but that read as more sexist than pedophilic, and was also 12 years ago...

    Several of those are fairly borderline. You would think Drew Devault of all people would understand that its ok to not be 100% squeaky clean.

    I'm not saying that list doesn't include a lot of creeps, but maybe he shouldn't have included "donated to an organisation that includes someone who is antagonistic" and "is an average American Christian" along with the "fervent defender of paedophilia".

    WTF is this list?

    ThePrimeagen: Popular Twitch streamer and YouTube personality whose content isn’t all that weird, but who is publicly associated with a bunch of weirdos in this list. He’s a speaker at Omacon 2026, David Heinemeier Hansson’s conference for fashy weirdos,[source] and a donor to Andreas Kling’s Ladybird,[source] and otherwise maintains associations with and financially supports people in a little network of weirdos.

    I don't consider ThePrimeagen a weird guy. This does more harm than being useful. Therefore I cannot trust this list. I don't like public lists of shame anyway, as this encourages witch hunting of people he personally does not like.

    I watched him for a while. And I'd say 95% of the tims, it's fine. Chitchat, banter, technical things. But then the remaining 5% of the time, there's suddenly a weird off the cuff remark, something that really seems like a dogwhistle, or just otherwise strange turn of phrase that makes me go huh? and rewind.

    I know that's not a lot individually, but over time it added up enough that I stopped watching.

    My problem with such a list is, that you can always find ans justify a reason to put it here. Most people reading these lists aren't familiar and have no personal experience and opinion, but will take his word for. If you stopped watching him because of reasons, its your opinion and that is valid. I am not against that! But people looking at these lists will avoid them and think they are bad persons. Yes in some cases they probably are, but the viewer cannot know (that's why they look into these lists).

    Tell me one person who is not weird.

    This is solved by literally asking the person why they said / did something.

    Most of the time they'll say they weren't aware of the problem, didn't mean to lend credence with their name to the problematic thing, and undo/rescind what they originally did/said.

    When it's obvious the person was ignorant and on having learnt information would have acted differently, they're removed from those lists.

    As DHH's behavior started becoming known amongst the greater developer community, Prime did an interview with him essentially praising him. Prime's fans asked him why he did that and if he knew about DHH's issues and Prime stayed silent. 6 months later he started trying to glow up DHH again, and he's still trying to do it.

    At this point, Prime's silence speaks volumes.

    As said, my point isn't about Prime what he did or not, I am talking about the having such a list in the first place. This is not solved by literally asking the person. Imagine 10 thousand people see the list and everyone asks about it? No. Such lists are bad for society, they always were. This can be misused.

    I say it again: Nobody should create and publish a list of "bad" (the word "weird" is just used as a synonymous here) persons just by personal opinion, different views in politics and such. That's my issue. I just picked Prime as an example because I did not agree on that point, but that is not my main argumentation. Anyone having an issue with him is fine, having an issue is not my problem. Having such lists and publish them is my problem.

    Imagine 10 thousand people see the list and everyone asks about it? No. Such lists are bad for society, they always were. This can be misused.

    We already know that they can be misused and have solutions for it.

    First we validate the claims in the list and counterclaims against the list. Secondly, lists that are false or outdated get put on ignore lists, and lists that are shown to be correct and up-to-date end up going on trusted lists. Thirdly, those ignore and trust lists are put through the same process themselves. Forth, new inputs constantly come through at the lowest level which means that lists (and metalists) themselves are always updating. This means they can never reach an equilibrium or a top level list which could allow a trusting trust attack. It's trust but verify the whole way down.

    And we know it works.

    That's how we have email anti-spam lists, adblocking lists, malware lists, etc...

    You fail to understand we are talking about humans, not about spam, ad or malware. Talking about humans like that and putting lists like this is what Hitler would do.

    No.

    You're conflating two completely different things.

    Hitler made lists of people to reduce their liberties, silence them, then eventually "disappear" them.

    Adblockers make lists to ignore ads. No one is stopping people from writing ads. People are opting-in to ignore them.

    That's the distinction, the ads are still there and you can expose yourself them if you wish. There is no mandate, everything is opt in.

    The lists we're talking about here are adblocking for people. Not target lists for death squads.

    I don't think you understood what I said, because no one is talking about killing people. There is no excuse for having public lists of humans to be blocked, because they are a bit weird or are connected to weird people. Just because one person has this opinion. Its extremely dangerous, because most people look at the list (because they don't know these persons) and believe and follow it.

    Have you not learned a single thing past human history (not only internet)?

    Most of the time i see clips of him it's some sort of rage baiting or shit stirring, which may not be weird, but is shitty and not worth my time. The thing you quoted also says he's not weird directly but is associated with weird people 🤷‍♀️

    Do you watch and follow him? If not, then off course all you see controversial stuff, because that is what makes it popular. And I do not consider his content to be rage baiting and shit stirring, maybe when making jokes. So taking it out of context could seem to be like that. I follow two channels of Primeagen and watch him for years and cannot agree with your statement. Also every person is associated with weird people. This list is one of the worst lists to put people into shame or as warning to he public, nobody should do that! This list needs to be taken down quickly before it does more harm. Because anyone reading it comes to conclusions like you.

    this shit is why i'm unironically trying to prepare myself for the day that i just can't fucking bear to use computers any more, like i'm trying to slowly wean myself off being a "tech guy" and into learning to use a sewing machine and just being happy picking mushrooms in the forest and going to the gym..
