Open source has become a safe harbor for far-right politics, from David Heinemeier Hansson's white-nationalist rhetoric and the Omarchy Foundation's $12 million in patron funding to so-called apolitical projects that treat marginalized contributors as political, and why a united boycott of complicit tech companies is our only way forward.

Something that’s interesting is that this $12 million is made up of all individual donations from his rich friends, but he still lists the companies they founded.

A total conflation of people and their companies.

Everyone listed here is subhuman. This is a who’s who of mediocre tech douchebags.

Jack Dorsey, Block Head and Chairman of Block

Wow, you scored your partner at 37Signals AND yourself? So impressive.

DHH has always been a duchebag and should be avoided at all costs.

has become

Nah you🫵 ignored the signs.
I witnessed them since [redacted for safety purpose]. Your choice, your reap.

subhuman

Nazi slur🚩

should be avoided at all costs.

that grants them a pass to continue sending people to deathcamps & Bibi‘s war. They should be 🌈composted✨.

You can call Nazis Nazis, and not dehumanize. The word “Nazi” has all the connotations it needs all on its own. Read my bio if you're confused about who I am kind to, and who I make fertilizer powder with.

Have you read how to deal with Nazis?
Or is another OP Paperclip in order🙃?

I am also quite older than 15日.

それともナチスをコンポストにできない理由でもあるの？

Your submission in "Normalized Fascism in Open Source: $12 Million Given to DHH" was removed for Please, do not antagonize other users in this way on Ghazi. .

There are actual corporate sponsors listed now: 37signals, which maybe isn't surprising with two individual sponsors being from there, and then 1Password for some reason.

Jack Dorsey, Block Head

Sounds about right

Those AI tokens add up really quickly

Of all of these, cloudflare is the only one really hard to avoid.

Especially because of all their free tier stuff :'(

I guess if you use their services and never pay it is maybe moral? Idk.

Their "free" stuff has the hidden cost of killing competition who can't throw money away to fund anticompetitive practices. The entire modern internet was conquered by oligarchs with that strategy. It's how everything became owned by a few enshittified companies.

That is a good point :(
