Six days ago, upgradeable laptop maker Framework tried to convince its fractious user community to live in a “big tent” after a Debian developer objected to the company’s sponsorship of Hyprland and its social media promotion of Omarchy, with both projects associated with politically polarizing viewpoints.
Antoine Beaupré, aka anarcat, demanded that Framework clarify its political position with regard to these two projects.
Hyprland, a Wayland compositor, is led by a “toxic and hateful community,” Beaupré observed, and Omarchy, a Linux distribution, comes from David Heinemeier Hansson (aka DHH), a controversial figure in the Ruby and Linux communities.
Imagine the downfall of framework being the donations made to some obscure (tankie?) dev that a part of the community does not agree with. This toxic “holier than thou” attitude of the linux community leads to fragmentation and will be the doom of the linux phone project too, I swear. Someone will find an obscure package developed by an asshole/tankie/nazi/whatever and will rage about how the project is now immoral because the project devs support it and insist on a public boycott. Why do some people seem to be unable to separate the software from the developer? Framework or the software dev is not your friend. Is their hardware/software decent and open? Cool, then keep using it, tankie devs be damned, or at least fork it and make your own morally pure version. But this endless bickering over what devs support will lead to nothing good.
Nah
completely ignores that its about the donations and not “just” using their software.
Letting shit slide will lead to nothing good.

Man, humans are cooked when there’s still so many idiots like you who think “assholes who specifically think certain people aren’t people / should live” is just normal assholery.
Yeah, I’m sure that’ll definitely lead to a peaceful path, bub.
I just fucking hate libinput and wish we had better driver options. I am about to switch back to Gnome from Hyperland just because I need to not tab 400 times to get to a field with no mouse or touchpad. God what a shit show.
