I avoid anything to do with DHH for his views expressed on his blog. I'm sure Omarchy is nice and all, but there are other choices without the ethical baggage.
- aeon_ai 1y agoI'm familiar with DHH's opinions -- Can you elaborate on how there are ethical implications/baggage associated with using FOSS? Must we leave the vicinity of people we don't always agree with?
- antonyh 1y agoIt's not the FOSS, it's the distribution. As far as I can tell everything in that distro is available elsewhere.
- exasperaited 1y agoI am relaxed about the small potential downsides of not being in the vicinity of people who lionize Tommy Robinson.

- exasperaited 1y ago> Right now there's pro "Palestinian" "protests" on the streets of the UK celebrating the murder of 2 Jews in Manchester... That is a _disgraceful_ misrepresentation of the facts. So much so that it renders replying to any part of your point completely impossible.

- exasperaited 1y agoThat is an organised, scheduled protest in London, about longstanding actions in Gaza. Why should it stop, particularly? You (with the person who tweeted) are misrepresenting both this protest and the opinions of the people who are protesting.
- dismalaf 1y agoPeople on the ground at many of these protests are saying that enough people are celebrating the attack. In London they were attacking the police. What % need to support the attack before it's a problem?
- fwip 1y agoA higher % than "some people who hate the protesters say they definitely heard it happening."

- exasperaited 1y agoThis article is a far right tone poem; that it mentions Tommy Robinson at all without any qualification, and links to the "FreedomMarch" hash tag is enough to qualify. Shame on DHH for eliding who Tommy Robinson really is -- a football hooligan and violent thug: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Robinson#Criminal_offences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Robinson#Criminal_offenc... DHH knows nothing of London, and the hugely-ironic idea that it's too full of "non-native" British people for him -- a white foreigner -- to feel comfortable moving there is the purest sign of who he is.
