>the one led by the racist, so it isn't getting a mention here

Are people really terminally online enough to understand this?

I'm pretty sure he's talking about Omarchy. They had some container related issue not too long ago.

OpenMandriva would be my next guess, but it's not a newer distro.

No, it's definitely a reference to the DHH/Romani drama from July and the Omarchy privilege escalation a few weeks back.

I don't know what he's referring to but I stopped reading at that sentence.

I decided to read it at this one

Yes, I really don't want to read about American politics when discussing operating systems and technology. It's already shoehorned into so many discussions that it no longer makes any sense.

A blog post talking about security but refusing to mention which operating was vulnerable to an exploit out of virtue signaling(?) is absurdist comedy.

If the author is referring to Omarchy, should we also stop using and mentioning Ruby on Rails? Preposterous.

I agree with your main point, and found it stupid that I had to search around to find what the hell was even being talked about directly. That said, the accusation of racism is about a Dane attending far-right British rallies, British anti-immigration protests, and saying things about deporting the populations of Muslims and Romani from Britain, Copenhagen, and Denmark. It doesn't make much sense to call the DHH racism issue "American politics".

>American politics

Is racism/aversion to it a uniquely American phenomenon?
