Eh no, there are two big issues with Omarchy: a) political issues with the dev, b) many big, dumb and very dangerous security issues.

Nah I can manage my addiction

That’s exactly what an addicted person would say. :D

Looks like there was not much in the post, other than this image. It could be a troll attempt, maybe that is what the moderator interpreted. I’m not convinced this is something todo with silencing those who question the critics, because in this image there was nothing specific. Edit: If there was a well thought out posting with argumentation (the post wasn’t really a question) in good faith, then I’m sure the post wouldn’t get removed.

Meanwhile the other day a post here asking “What actually is the deal with Omarchy?” got deleted.

Important to know why it was deleted. As I cannot see in the content and discussion, I cannot verify what happened. So bringing this up isn’t really meaningful as a point then. Now if it was deleted for reasons you suggest (because they don’t want positive attention as I get it from your reply), then yes, that would be bad. But how do we check this? It might had a different reason.

I will just have to add a few more keywords to filter now.

I didn’t know this was possible on Lemmy! Care to explain where this can be done? Or is it maybe your client that allows that. On the webpage lemmy.ml with a browser I don’t see any method of keyword filters.

Little off topic now, but can’t wait how his next project Physint will be. Its said to be an espionage game again, and the teaser art looks suspicious so far.

Ignoring fascists and hoping they go away

EXACTLY. This is what I’m responding (in other words) to “free advertisement” argument as well.

Are you sure you’re not just giving them free advertising?

No, this is critique and enlightenment. It’s important to talk about issues people have.

Forking would mean the main developers does not work on it. They would need to work on their own. Do giving money will ensure the project stays up (in theory). Forking does not solve the issues you have with the mainline project automatically.

I watched Escape from New York just a few years ago for the first time (ok its probably 5 years ago). And I had a blast, film really holds up. I don’t know why I didn’t watched it before, given that I’m an 80s kid and watched all the 80s and 90s films, and I am a huge fan (of the first) Metal Gear Solid. For any reader who don’t know why MGS this is relevant: Kojima was inspired by this film when creating the Metal Gear series. The main character even is named Snake.

As the other comment explained already, you was thinking of Geocities. I actually recently put Neocities to my list of web hosters, in case I want to do something with it. Seems quiet nice and is a homage to Geocities.

Agreed. Also this entire presentation looks too much emotional. It should stick to an informal type of presentation to be taken seriously. Edit: Also I’m highly against lists of people to avoid. Discussed this again and again, as this comes up again and again with these topics. Extremely dangerous thing to do!

Not liking an opinion does not transform it into fearmongering. My question is again, does this post become fearmongering BECAUSE you personally don’t like it? Are you able to explain why this post is fearmongering? Nobody asks you to like his opinions. But that is not the point.

Because you don’t like his opinion and brought up issues and facts?

This is not about attention, this is about enlightenment. And even if its negative attention in addition, people want to discuss and they should. Just because it gets attention should not be a reason to silence opinions and their need to talk about it with others.

This is not really comparable to Streisand effect, because posts like these do not try to hide Omarchy. In fact this post is the opposite. People (posts like these) are concerned and want to discuss. We should let them. Do not mute yourself over topics that need to be addressed. I mean you personally can do, but don’t tell others not to post. Just my opinion.

Let people discuss stuff they want and need to discuss. You do not have to click the topic and read it. People have concerns and they want to discuss it, we should not try to mute because there is a huge interest by many.

I am happy them to announce the new release too. :-) To me there is no single standout feature to get excited about. Its mostly about bug fixes, security isseu fixes and a few user experience improvements (which probably undersells what has been done in this release). If I look at it again, following is affecting me and interesting:

Cheesequake has added code so you can use Cut on a layer group. This will allow you to cut the same section of all layers in the group, provided they are rasterized and not locked. Jehan made further improvements to this code.

Percentage is good to see quick changes in relation. Having exact figures would be nice too, but that is not a replacement for percentage.

Also in addition 99 is interpreted in the brain very close to 100. That’s why we have prices like 99.99. Just an additional thing to your excellent reasoning about the 10x difference look.

I also have to trust the community in order to trust the system. But no community can help you, if the maintainers doesn’t do their job well, after you got pawned. There are lot of Open Source projects and operating systems I do not trust.

And yes I also get what you were saying with the media comparison, I did not try to invalidate your personal opinion by claiming the comparison wasn’t valid. I understand you were trying to make a point by that. I just didn’t want to go too far away from the topic, as this happens too often. So my apologies for the tone it may had (not sure how to put this into words). Also thanks for staying productive in the discussions, with political stuff involved this gets heated up very quickly.
