I’ve never been a Digital Ocean customer. But they’re really taking a nose dive right now. First, they offer healthy financial support for the fascist Linux project, otherwise known as Omarchy. Now they’re killing one of the best CSS resources around, @csstricks@mastodon.social. How are they killing it? Well, they’re giving SO much money to fascism that they can no longer afford the small potatoes of a CSS community knowledge base. As @eric@social.ericwbailey.website points out, so many of us front-end developers are indebted to CSS Tricks. The authors there have been invaluable to my own skillset. https://ericwbailey.website/published/css-tricks-could-be-a-co-op It’s painful to see this kind of thing happening. I hate fascism and death by capitalism. #DigitalOcean #Omarchy #CSSTricks #CSS #HTML #FrontEnd #Code #Development #Design #Hosting #Capitalism #Fascism

@markwyner@mas.to @csstricks@mastodon.social @eric@social.ericwbailey.website I'm looking to move out of DigitalOcean, but haven't been able to find a good alternative? Is Hetzner all that it's hyped up to be?

@markwyner@mas.to @csstricks@mastodon.social @eric@social.ericwbailey.website I have been a Digital Ocean customer, for some years now. Last night I finished decomissioning my services with them and left an exit survey that mentioned their funding of Omarchy as many times as possible.

@markwyner@mas.to @csstricks@mastodon.social @eric@social.ericwbailey.website Damn, their Flexbox guide is pinned open anytime I work on any frontend stuff. But at least there's more money for the code-execution-via-bash "distro" now.
