JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump says crypto "takes a lot of pressure off the dollar. It does a lot of good things." "We're making the US the #Bitcoin superpower, the crypto capital of the world".

Omarchy doesn't need money. We make it for the love of computers.

Omarchy has been on an incredible growth spurt over the last few months. We've distributed over a petabyte worth of ISOs in the last thirty days alone, which is enough for 150,000+ new installs. In total, we're well into the hundreds of thousands of ISO downloads. But what I care more about than the numbers are the anecdotes. I'm constantly hearing from people who switched from Windows or Mac to Omarchy and love this beautiful, modern, and opinionated Linux way. This is something the Linux diehards tend to forget. What seems like old hat to them ("Hyprland?! Psh, I ran i3 in 2006!!!") is completely revolutionary to most people who've never used a tiling window manager. If you've only ever used Windows or Mac, Omarchy is like traveling to a different computer dimension — full of strange, wonderful new colors and designs. There's still work to do before Linux is likely to take over the desktop for "normies". But that was never the mission for Omarchy. We've been targeting people who genuinely love computers, don't mind learning how they work, and are willing to invest time in memorizing hotkeys to be able to become much more proficient and efficient machine operators. That's surely a subset of all computer users, but tons of such people exist! And it's not just developers, although they make up the lion's share. I've also seen Omarchy get embraced by designers and writers. Not just because this is such a fresh, new take on what a computer can look and feel like, but also because, as a community, we've dumped the silly gatekeeping that for so long has hampered the adoption of Linux. It was part of the reason I didn't think Linux on the desktop was something for me personally for so long. So happy to have been proven wrong! And now I'm excited to help others come to the same conclusion. Omarchy is for anyone who loves computers ✌️

This Week in Rails is out! Among the changes this week: - Summary report on CI - End of Support updates - Add algorithm option to `has_secure_password` - Add callable support to `allow_nil` and `allow_blank` in validations Read that and more at: world.hey.com/this.week.in.r…

Millions of views on me not being able to get an EU GPU If this was about Google @OfficialLoganK would be in the replies promising a fix If it was about xAI @elonmusk would see it himself probably Meanwhile the only thing the @EU_Commission has posted is to be cautious of fake news! The EU doesn't even monitor their mentions on here and they definitely don't reply nor does the EU's president @vonderleyen Which is funny because the biggest companies in AI here do, they reply on here to hear feedback and improve their trillion dollar companies It's just crazy to me how disconnected the EU is from European citizens now: there's no dialogue, it's just a one way street of imposing rules and regulation and burning billions of € of European people's money with little checks or balances It's very frustrating but Europe is our homeland so we should keep fighting for it

This is one reason why @tan_stack Query took off as it did; It enabled developers to seamlessly check off error handling, network caching, and more while building out data fetching. Invisible wins from work that needed to be done anyway is a huge W for any tool

Same place and memory size.. the difference is 58 years

Omarchy continues to grow at a ferocious rate with nearly 50,000 ISO downloads per week at the moment. Bonkers! But we're just getting started 🤘

New post 🎉 Going back to my roots on writing about the inner workings of things, a breakdown of key-value databases and how you might make one from scratch: nan.fyi/database

Today is a great day to give Linux a go!

Yes this was built with Rails, and yes this is not React, and yes this is Stimulus, and yes it is pure MAGIC! This is a new invoice themes feature for invoicebloom.io

Since 2017, we ended up spending almost $22m on cloud. Peaking at $3.7m in 2021. Now that we're all out, we'll spend a little over a million on everything we own ourselves. Same team size. Better performance. Saving $2m+ per year! 🎉

AWS engineers right now

Omarchy 3.1 is out! With Windows VM built-in, universal copy'n'paste on Super + C/V, clipboard manager, tiling groups, live theme changes for neovim/Obsidian/Cursor, new flexoki theme, tons of fixes. Amazing update. github.com/basecamp/omarchy/…

🚨 Rails 8 Breaking Change `stringify_keys` now stringifies all keys, not just symbols! 😮 This could break things silently if you’re not careful. #rubyonrails #activesupport

Kamal 2.8 will finally give us a local registry option for simple deploys. This means you won't need a Docker Hub or GHCR setup just to see your app in production. Will get this snuck into Rails 8.1 before we ship final! github.com/rails/rails/pull/…

This $100 T470s Thinkpad Ive installed Omarchy on is making for an amazing garage setup, so I don’t have to drag my laptop back and forth. It almost feels faster than my new M4 MacBook Pro. Shoutout to @dhh for putting together such a nicely wrapped package.

True. A big share of Kubernetes clusters in production do not resolve any practical issues, while they bring a lot of trouble with the unnecessary complexity, over-engineered abstractions, silly yaml-programming and performance issues.
