Digital Ocean killed its "we give Open Source projects a bit of free hosting" policy basically at the same time they dropped 3 million USD on Omarchy, DHH's (who is a fascist and racist) set of config files he calls a distribution.
This is exactly the kind of "Power Grab" I wrote about a few weeks ago: https://tante.cc/2026/09/11/power-grab/
DHH is working towards accumulating open source funding to be able to direct it towards projects that align with his technical and ideological views.
It's hard to overstate how dangerous that is for all of us.
