Digital Ocean ended their $50/month sponsorship of GNOME and FlatHub and went radio silent on CSS-Tricks right around the time they found a spare three million dollars to burn on “sponsoring” a high-profile racist’s dotfiles repo. Impossible to see this as anything but a statement of their values.

Something I’ve been thinking about a lot, articulated very well by @lukeoneil47.bsky.social www.welcometohellworld.com/i-do-not-bel...
Engineer types sometimes have trouble with other people and overestimate their own intelligence when it comes to things beyond their jobs. And here in the US we fluff our engineers’ egos so that they will keep producing consumer products, military dominance, surplus value etc. It gets easy for them to believe their own hype.
