Creator vibe codes configs, makes a “distro”

Creator says fairly fucked up things online, effectively a “dog whistle” gathering right aligned attention and money- and a quite a lot of it.

Begins hiring similarly minded people, claiming “the money will be spent” on the distro

All of it wreaks of BS.

Nazi vibe coded distro

Is the site run by the same people who work on Manjaro Linux?

I’d appreciate it if they had a subscription setting of “do not allow my subscription money to be spent on doing anything non-email related” because over the last few years I’ve seen a whole lot of “we want to have a cloud solution to replace everything you use on Google/Apple/Microsoft!” when all I want is secure email.

This is what getting old does to a person. Subscribed for mail years ago, now peeved they barely even care about email any more.
