I like terminal prompts. priv/acc

I think you use that term far too lightly, and are using it for some kind of odd social clout. I find it disgusting.

People can use whatever technology is useful for them. I have used Rails for decades, that does not mean I agree with his views.

To be honest the people I see as negative and vindictive are the ones attacking Omarchy and doing their best to attack anyone that considers the technology interesting.

I was referring to the price of Framework hardware. Just to be clear.

Omarchy breathes new life into lots of old Mac hardware and aligns super well with sustainability and that mindset. The price is absolutely worth it and I am glad they are supporting as many open source projects as they are. They have given back in a huge way and people seem to forget that

It is an endorsement of the technology not his politics. I have yet to see any politics go into the Omarchy product or marketing. They are completely different things. People and companies, in this case Framework, should not have to appease a crowd making mountains out of molehills.

They shouldn't have to say that at all. They were just talking about a popular new open source project, and trying to support cool new tech. At no time did they try to endorse the ideologies of the creators.

This makes a lot of sense.

They make great laptops. All they did was try to donate to open source projects. Don't give into the mob trying to lynch them for nothing.

Depends on the scope. I would argue adding more style options is dramatically simpler than offering programming features inside of CSS.

Humans always want to extend their creations. So stopping new standards is not feasible. Trying to limit the scope of tools I believe is.

Depends on who you are. I doubt the simplicity is there for devs writing renderers.

For normal developers, they now will have to hunt for hidden logic within CSS, where before it was easier to grep/sift for what they were looking for.

I don't argue its neat, but there are infinite neat features...

But like I said, I am in the minority.

People want a bigger, more complex set of web tools. This is obvious by the explosion of JavaScript frameworks and protocol expansion.

After building on the web for 30 years, I really wish it had developed differently.
