omarchy is a bastardisation of what arch can offer.

if dhh really cared about open-source, linux and arch, he should be using his platform to educate a wider audience on how to customise their own installs.

there used to be a time when a business had to have a proven product/service that brought consistent value to the customer.

openai has been throwing darts blindly at the dartboard for the last three years that it bewilders me that anyone could think they have the ability to be stable or profitable in the near future.

my thing is, if everyone is using LLMs to write emails (for example) then there needs to be a re-think about online communication as a whole and that would definitely not involve LLMs.

No doubt your father has a reactionary response to media because the ecosystem demands it from their audience and he now likely sits in a susceptible demographic.

Something to consider is if your father is starting to experience a cognitive decline (e.g dementia). How physically active is he? Does he have personal interests or hobbies that give him continued purpose? These play a part in how he responds to his environment and perhaps why you’ve noticed a trend among the elderly and maybe even within your own family.
