Oh no, looks like you're one of today's (unlucky) 10000[0]. (For context I only heard about all this recently).

For the DHH thing he wrote a recent blog post where he said he wants fewer non-white people in London and praises an english far-right fascist figure (Tommy Robinson)[1].

Not really sure about the Shopify stuff. I've heard people aren't too fond of Tobi (the C.E.O. I think), and he's buddies with DHH, but it could just be general distrust of a big company trying to exert control of an open source project (through Ruby Central).

As an outsider to Ruby I kept hearing rumours and thinking it has to be exaggerated.

No, it turns out DHH really wrote a blog post complaining not enough people in London are white (even though they’re British) and praising a famous British fascist.

The rest is very much still confusing, some kind of opportunistic power plays and typical open source chaos.

Almost exactly my thoughts when I heard about it[0].
