You realize that's not about server costs but paying people that already do open source work (Like the window manager) to get paid for their work, which is what everyone in the OS community always wants?

On their blog they write what the money is for, sponsoring open source projects (Not DHH's script, he doesn't need money, his words on X) like https://omarchy.org/news/2026/08/omacom-foundation-to-be

What's your definition of "product"?

It was not my intention to say that, I'm actually following it very closely and think Omarchy is a great way to get more people on Linux. A user friendly, pre-packaged and opinionated setup will convince more people than "Install

The better takeaway is that marketing is important and the technical details, don't always matter as much ( https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com/a-word-on-omarchy/ ) as having a complete package. Similarly to how Apple often p

I just finished that recently, I think "A Shadow Intelligence" from the same author is even better so can recommend that too.

Actually it's kinda hard in a world where very few companies dominate the search index market and there's very few players who license out their data, one of them being a Russian one: https://kagifeedback.org/d&#x2

Ideally it would have a way to allow list domains for sources where I do have a subscription.

No because technology advanced and now everyone has a permanent online mini-computer with them at all times and we want to have the same documents we have at home/work also available on our phones.

In the same article it says: > The number of repositories on GitHub is growing faster than ever, but a much harder scaling challenge is the rise of large monorepos. For the last three months, we’ve been investing heavily in response to t

Source? When I look at one of the recent blog posts ( https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/an-update-on-... ) I see crazy charts of PR merged, Commits, Repositories created. These are all git operations an

That was a very well written and interesting article. I really enjoyed it. Some good background for people telling GitHub to "just scale".

That made sense in times where you packaged software and sold it in a store, once. Now people barely run local-only software any more, most people live in Google Chrome and only use permanently online software. SaaS is the perfect model for

These companies that they bought were not doing so great to begin with otherwise they would not be for sale for a price where this makes sense.

I wouldn't read too much into it, that was probably a big rush job once the Stripe / openrouter news broke.

Not really, most popular extensions are available on GCP/AWS ( https://docs.cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/extensions ) out of the box and there's many things that you can easily run in Postgres w

The point is in general for people to just consider it, often people start out on their side projects or internal company projects and commission Elastic, Redis, Postgres, Kafka before even getting started. In reality they could fit it all

One of the selling points from openrouter is exactly that though, it makes it extremely easy to jump from model to model. For some background tasks for example I setup all the free models on openrouter and if one is not available it jumps t

Also people angrily declare that they will leave, the second the downtime is over that thought already disappears.

They are paying pretty well for a remote only company and are hiring very rarely.

Can you share some of these Microsoft Windows and Linux phones that also run the popular apps that you often need to take part in daily life?

What makes it a "bad thing" if competitors have equal access? May the best implementation win.

If you pay developers x money / day and one of their core tools is down for n hours during the day and they spend their money on HN instead that's pretty straight forward to calculate.

I don't think GitHub stars are what makes GitHub sticky. Having a single UI / account and being able to jump between work projects, private projects and random open source projects where I want to open a quick issue or submit a PR

There's basically no moat for OpenRouter, you can very easily switch them out to any other of these AI gateway companies.
