Sep 20 The challenge to those of us in tech who just want to make great software is not to stare too deeply into the abyss of Bluesky and its radical, violence-condoning nut jobs. The mimetic cycle draws you in all too easily. Have your guards up, yes, but then get back to building! 1.8k 72 81 102k 276 .
Sep 20 'β€œThey’re dragging your ass on Bluesky” is a statement that strikes fear into the heart of practically no one. A mob denouncing you as transphobic, racist, misogynist, etc. on Bluesky will have essentially no chance of negatively impacting your career.' https://t.co/IRFWYXrrfm 1.7k 50 75 105k 277 .
Sep 20 As someone who been called a "Nazi" and a "fascist" endless times for the most banal, mainstream positions, I'm still shocked to hear about the direct threats that Lunduke and others have encountered. Completely unacceptable, dangerous, and deranged. 1.7k 92 58 122.5k 250 .
Sep 18 Ghostty 1.2.0 is out on the Arch repo! So if you're running Omarchy 3.0, you can swap over as easy as Install > Terminal > Ghostty! And you'll have all the theme-switching goodness in @mitchellh's awesome terminal that you do in Alacritty (and Kitty) 🀘 477 13 15 105k 258 .

Sep 18 I really should have given @Cloudflare a heads up before dropping a highly-anticipated 7GB ISO on them, but @dok2001 offered impeccable service at 2am his time to get us sorted. This should be super fast in a second. 1.2k 20 54 208.7k 216 .
Sep 17 Omarchy 3.0 is out!! This includes the super-fast new ISO installer, Ghostty(+Kitty) integration, VS Code theme switching, Apple T1 + T2 + Broadcom compatibility, and a million other new features πŸŽ‰ https://t.co/OQVF4Tb8cp https://t.co/4VqTr2Lq0h 2.3k 180 131 242.6k 245 .

Sep 15 My favorite part of the chat I had with @ThePrimeagen and @teej_dv last year was when we talked about having kids. It's incredible that the question even needs serious arguments, but I was thrilled to make them. https://t.co/20XOp3bbEh 755 18 32 134.2k 235 .
Sep 15 "It's tough to blame the Brits for being pissed. No matter how hard they voted, Brexit or not, the erosion of their national identity kept marching forward at an ever-greater pace.

Sep 14 Omarchy 3.0 is shaping up to be spectacular! We'll have full support for almost all pre-M Macs, including T1 and T2. No manual intervention needed. Just boot and go! Here's @ryanrhughes' first successful end-to-end T2 install 🀘 https://t.co/gCN8TMPvGD 2.4k 87 137 193.2k 251 .
Sep 14 Not only is it laggy as hell, it's also glitchy and crashes!! And then you just don't have a gauge cluster at all. IN A CAR?? That's just bonkers. Apple madly, desperately need to get a new asshole in charge. https://t.co/M6sdkEiIqu https://t.co/V6TJdO6dSG 272 7 22 113.7k 256 .
Sep 14 This is embarrassing for both Apple and Aston. The new fancy Apple Carplay Ultra is so laggy the gauge cluster can't even keep up with the engine revs. It's crazy what's allowed to go out the door in Cupertino these days. https://t.co/3KPiyBgp0s 566 18 32 142.3k 245 .

Sep 08 In fact, we're doubling down on Hyprland at @37signals, and doubling our sponsorship to the highest Diamond level!

Sep 08 Apple's advantage is now all in the hardware. It might be impossible to imagine a MacBook free from the drag of macOS today, but Microsoft also centered everything around Windows until Ballmer left. Tim Cook will soon retire, and Apple will once more be able to think different! 1.4k 28 87 122.7k 278 .
Sep 07 After a few months of furious, non-stop development, I took the past week+ to simply just use Omarchy. No new features, no tweaks, just using it. What a joy! I sit with a grin usually reserved for a man who just raised a whole barn with the neighborhood's help πŸ˜„ 1.8k 23 55 105.4k 262 .
Sep 05 You should have the power to change anything and everything about your computer, your framework, and your server. End-to-end open source is your ticket to tell Apple β€” or anyone! β€” to go fuck themselves when they seek to dictate how you compute. https://t.co/HZXnRlvYQG https://t.co/6kasPkaTAi 2k 187 69 140.3k 293 .
Sep 05 Pieter is the perfect CRUD monkey! He was the inspiration for the opening big dog/small dog meme segment too. Just out there, shipping software, forgoing a decade or more worth of "procedural progress", and fucking killing it. A beacon of sanity in an industry of dolts. 1.3k 32 29 167.4k 270 .

Sep 02 Imagine needing a medical condition to be allowed AC in your own home!! Some parts of Europe have been cooked harder by climate hysteria than others, but the underlying mentality is eerily similar wherever you go. Degrowth nonsense reigns supreme. 1.2k 34 51 100.2k 247 .
Sep 01 Thrilled to announce @Cloudflare is sponsoring free DDoS protection, CDN services, and R2 hosting for all of Omarchy's infrastructure. We now host all ISOs, packages, and the mirror behind their formidable shield. Huge thanks to @eastdakota, @dok2001, and team πŸ™ 3.9k 126 41 174.9k 262 .
Sep 01 UN rightly laments that 3.5x more people die in Europe from heat-related causes than do Americans from guns every year, but instead of recommending AC as the obvious answer, these are their suggestions 🀯. Eco death cult. https://t.co/t15U0NHz58 1.4k 92 93 185.6k 244 .

Aug 30 Also, while this new Miele is better than the absolutely awful Gaggenau setup we had before, it's still retarded. All controls are on a touch screen, so of course it's sluggish. The gas-vented LG we have in the US is with a dial and buttons. Infinitely nicer to use. 1.3k 10 41 134.5k 266 .
Aug 27 This is the root motivation behind most everything well-done in the world. Build for yourself first, so you can clearly gauge the quality, and you'll likely find others who share your sensibilities. This is the story of Rails and Omarchy alike. 3k 285 49 179.7k 244 .
Aug 24 We're pulling AUR out of the Omarchy install hotpath. It's an incredible resource, but we actually only need a handful of packages for the initial setup, and we can just host those ourselves. AUR really needs a new mirror strategy to avoid this predicament. 1.2k 21 42 120.4k 257 .
Aug 24 Omarchy 2.0 release might have to wait a little longer. The AUR DDoS attack has picked back up, but the upside is that we're building in all sorts of resilience for the installer to deal with the assault! And meanwhile, we'll build a complete Omarchy package mirror for all. https://t.co/TBQ4FdB78q 1.2k 31 40 236.1k 298 .
Aug 23 Omarchy 2.0 is very close now. After setting the pace of a new release every few days, it's been a small eternity of two weeks since the last one. But boy is this one a massive upgrade! And now with a kick-ass online ISO installer 🀘 1.6k 44 63 111.8k 232 .

Aug 18 The DDoS attack on AUR and Arch infrastructure continues. What sad, pathetic people to assault open source like this! I hope the AUR/Arch teams soon decide they've had enough and accept the offer to get protection behind the @Cloudflare shield. Could end all this very quickly. 2k 57 103 201.2k 277 .
Aug 17 Next version of Omarchy will ship with an ultra minimal starship setup that @tobi convinced me was better.

Aug 16 Rewiring your muscle memory for copy/paste when you go from Mac to Omarchy is an important rite of passage. Not friction to be whittled away. We need more rituals in society. More tokens of sacrifice. This is a small one. Make it proudly. 1.1k 22 134 212.7k 238 .

Aug 15 Degrowth mafia strikes again! The lack of air conditioning in much of Europe on the basis of saving energy is dumb, but did you know this is also why you can't have efficient dryers that don't make washing clothes a whole-day affair?

Aug 11 Window is closing on the cool kid's club of those who had to setup Omarchy BY HAND! We're cooking a full distro ISO, so no more manually running archinstall, rebooting for wget, and playing with iwctl. It'll be straight from boot to productive in just a few minutes! 2.1k 54 130 168.6k 266 .
Aug 11 I've been walking up every morning lately with a burning urgency to improve Omarchy. Now the question is whether that's just a love of Linux or it's because I've started following @levelsio's regiment for creatine?? 1.4k 12 82 163.6k 215 .

Aug 09 We're all-in on Omarchy at @37signals. Just like we're all-in on Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, and Kamal.
