They've already said that they refuse to work with DHH, which is fine, but the Asahi Devs and Arch Linux Devs have let politics overtake their entire existance and I'm happy someone is finally changing the status quo and shaking things up. Let money actually go to competant people and not leftists that will ban you from their entire ecosystem if you even slightly disagree with their politics.

DHH is bringing more politics, and mostly hate at that, into this space than any other person.

        Could you explain where this comes from? I dislike DHH as much as the rest, but I thought Hitler was just referred to as Hitler in danish?

        That was a joke. Kinda like saying that in modern feminese, "man" means "rapist".

    I won’t repeat the numerous political blog posts he’s constantly posting these days for a so-called “tech only” guy. Instead I’ll say that he’s currently doing a big podcast tour where he explicitly whines about how his employees pushed him to (he elides this part) remove a “funny list of customer names” on the grounds of said list being racially charged. And since he was “bullied” into doing that, he’s been on a tear lately declaring tech to be filled to the brim with political lunatics who just want to inject politics into everything. The precise thing that he’s still doing, years later.
