I don't really understand what Omarchy even is, other than a front for corporations to donate money to fascism.
It sounds like it's not even a full distro really, just Arch with a bunch of config files?
I mean: If you can get millions of pounds for your config these days, my config is:
Three-key keyboard shortcuts for:
They are all ctrl-alt and keys around J on the keyboard. I move my windows around like a wizard.
5x2 virtual desktops. Move between them with ctrl-alt left/right/up/down. Shift to carry the current window as you move.
The desktop configuration is:
Main:
One-Desktop-left, messenger screen:
Telegram will be phased out. Nearly done.
One desktop right, lights.
One desktop down: Godot-coding.
Diagonal right-down: Steam.
Diagonal left-down, spreadsheets.
Rarely active really.
The other desktops are for sundry tasks as and when they might arise.
The OS is on the root of the hard-drive and /home/pre is mounted from a set of zfs drives that frankly need rethinking and reorganizing.
Directories in there:
In /pub we have basically the Jelly-fin formats with side-directories.
In /doc we have
Vimwiki is my opinionated choice for personal journal and reference notes. It is amazing and I should have gone with markdown from the start but it's still all in vimwiki syntax.
I will post the basic structure of the vimwiki only if this post gets 50 boosts or thousands of dollars in donations.
It is several levels deep with symlinks into the project directories.
Then of course there's the server-config which there's flavours of, and the way those servers are backed up, and the themes for the things.
Nextcloud, ttrss, goto-social, mastodon, peertube. I got servers running 'em all.
Can I get me some of those fascist dollars if I publish my config for mixing gotosocial with a static website to combine a social and web identity into one?
It's basically just an nginx config and a hugo run and some scripts.
If I install all that and snapshot it can I have the millions of fascists money please?

Refreshed my memory on the constitutional situation vis-a-vis the House of Lords v Commons. Fascinating stuff.

Atlee gets all the credit for setting up proper public services, but it was arguably the end point, or a high water mark, for a tide that had been slowly swelling for decades, centuries even, laboriously hauled into existence by Liberals. Must remember death duties were introduced in 1894, next time the red tops are screaming about a "death tax"...

I understand why people check out of politics. Our social problems feel intractable. The conservatives in Congress pretend we can solve everything with personal responsibility and small government. The liberals don't always talk about the real solutions. Sadly, most politicians are followers, not leaders. We have to tell them what we need. And this book will help you do that. Find your copy at Lost Fox in downtown Saint Paul. Good vibes. Good coffee and food too. #nokings
