Thanks, I really appreciate the support. You're completely right—arguing with them is like talking to a brick wall. My main goal is just to make sure people stay informed so they don't fall for their manipulative noise and misinformation

@ojrask @brennan Accusing people of being 'fascists' just for focusing on code rather than personal views is pure ad hominem.

I kept my critique civil and technical, while you resorted to insults. Calling names doesn't make you right; it just shows you ran out of technical arguments.

When you have an actual code rebuttal, I'm here.

Framing this as "complicity vs agreement" ignores open-source fundamentals. Licenses exist to separate code execution from individual ideology. Technical infrastructure operates strictly on code quality, security, and license compliance, not the author's personal politics. Pragmatism is not endorsement.
(Note: I heavily criticize Omarchy's bloat and architecture myself—I judge it as a maintainer on code quality, and it simply falls short technically.)

@brennan Translating it yourself is probably too much work, so I'll keep it in English:
As a maintainer, I don't personally like DHH or Omarchy either. But you dismantled your own thesis by constantly shifting goalposts from 'political front' to 'insidious reputation washing.' Believe whatever conspiracy you want, but open source runs on code, not blog posts

Argümanlar bana ait, çeviriyle uğraşmamak için Türkçe yazıyorum; artık çeviriyi sen yaparsın.
Bir geliştirici olarak ben de DHH'i veya Omarchy'yi kişisel olarak sevmiyorum. Ama senin iddialarını ben değil, süreç içinde sürekli hedef değiştirerek sen kendin çürüttün. 'Siyasi paravan'dan başlayıp 'sinsi itibar aklamaya' kadar geriledin. İstediğin komploya inanabilirsin ama açık kaynak dünyası blog yazılarıyla değil, kodla yürür.

@brennan The arguments are entirely mine—I just use an LLM for translation since English isn't my native language. If you have an issue with that, we can easily continue in Turkish and you can handle the translation yourself.
My point stands: constantly moving your goalposts from 'funding extremism' to 'reputation washing' doesn't change open-source reality. Attacking translation tools instead of addressing FOSS economics just proves you ran out of valid arguments️

You just shifted your claim from a 'political front' to acknowledging the money is for FOSS marketing and code.
As a distro maintainer, I know marketing and scaling open source requires serious funding. You are conflating your subjective dislike of DHH with a conspiracy theory about 'funding extremism

@brennan As a distro maintainer myself, I know how open-source economics work. Omacom Foundation raised $18.5M to fund Linux desktop infrastructure, developer grants, and open-source tooling—not DHH’s personal account.
Claiming a non-profit software foundation is a 'political front' just because it secured major backing shows a complete refusal to separate code funding from conspiracy theories

@brennan Quoting 'Benevolent Dictator' shows a lack of understanding of tech history. BDFL is a 30-year-old software term used for creators like Linus Torvalds (Linux) and Guido van Rossum (Python)—it has zero connection to political dictatorship: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_dictator_for_life
Corporations fund open-source infrastructure and public code, not personal politics. Conflating technical project governance with 'funding extremism' is pure sensationalism.

@brennan So the entire premise relies on DHH’s personal blog posts?
By this logic, if Big Tech sponsors Debian, and a maintainer inside Debian posts controversial political views on their personal blog, does that mean Big Tech is directly funding that political movement?
Supporting open-source infrastructure or using tools built by a dev is not the same as 'funding extremism.' Conflating a developer’s personal writing with corporate extremism funding is a massive logical leap

@brennan
Fair enough. As a developer building my own projects, I take claims of this scale seriously. Accusing tech giants of funding extremism carries massive legal and reputational risks.

​I’m open to supporting valid causes, but before I back this, I need you to clearly explain the direct connection to me rather than just leaving raw links. Show me the concrete link, and if it stands up, I’ll consider getting behind it

@brennan
That’s a bold claim—do you have any evidence? Because anyone can make a claim.
