Power grab

Omarchy should not matter. But sadly it does. As a power grab. If you don't know what Omarchy is here's the short summary. David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of RubyOnRails, owner of a software business and millionaire, decided a few months ago to go all in on Linux and - because…

Seriöse Zahlen zu den Todesopfern der Europäischen Expansion sind schwer genau zu bestimmen. Größenordnungen aber gibt es (nur große Posten; in Mio. Menschen):

China: 0,1-0,5 (Opium Wars) + 30-50 (Taiping) - 50 (div. Aufstände) + 20-30 (japan. Überfall).

Indien: 50 - 160 (bis etwa 1943)

Allein Belg. Kongo: 5-10 Mio.

Atlant. Sklavenhandel: 12 verschleppt (davon 2 vor Ankunft verstorben).

Kontext (Weltbevölkerung): 1800: 1 Mrd.1900: ~1,5 Mrd.; 1960 3 Mrd.

A particularly popular post by @astrodicticum provides an opportunity to compare interaction numbers between Fediverse and Bluesky specifically for the German-speaking astronomy community, on the occasion of #ag2026garching this week:

https://chaos.social/@astrodicticum/117241440779404836 and https://bsky.app/profile/astrodicticum.bsky.social/post/3mv3oxzfekk2f

At the time of the screenshots, the Mastodon post had 31 replies, 50 boosts, 213 likes, and the Bluesky post had 11 replies, 8 reposts, and 103 likes.

Follow numbers for Florian are 7.8K on Fedi and 6.4K on Bluesky.

My feeling (from occasionally monitoring other post pairs) is that the above interaction numbers are fairly representative, with engagement on Fedi being approximately double that on Bluesky.

Well, anyway. Congratulations to Florian via all available channels! 🎉

@CalNativeLandscape @urlyman you can listen to podcasts when you're outside in nature; video usually adds very little information and is a great waste of your time and of the world's carbon.

Indeed, I think a good measure of how serious a 'future thinker' is about the future is whether or not they put their #podcast onto #YouTube.

@Federation_Bot last wk.

@simon_brooke I very much agree. And it’s one reason I’m distancing myself from some projects I’ve been helping with.

The amount of money Omarchy is getting is absolutely insane. The Python Foundation has an annual budget of around $5 million, the Apache Foundation around $3 million. Meanwhile a niche Linux distribution raised $18M in 20 days.

@Federation_Bot last wk.

Calling it a "niche Linux distribution" is actually overselling it. Gentoo, Void and NixOS are niche Linux distributions.

Omarchy is some dude's dotfiles for Arch Linux with slick branding.

The closest thing I can compare it to is EndeavourOS. This is also a layer of convenience and elegance on top of raw Arch Linux. Their annual budget: approximately €13.000
