this screenshot hurts me.

So "update omarchy" just means "do a git pull on the dotfiles repo" and it doesn't even seem to be passing --depth 1 because we see info on several branches being updated and the entire "update" weighs in at 1.01 MiB just for 1 line change in the conf file to (I assume) make steam work nicely with hyprland....

This really reeks of not caring in the slightest about your users, almost to the point of "if they don't know better and can't figure out how to do it properly on their own, then they deserve to suffer".

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
