    Please observe rule 3 point 3:

    No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

    It goes both ways. The situation is still developing, whatever information you have might become obsolete an hour from now. If you need to air your feelings, this isn't the right place for it. It's also worth keeping in mind that the interaction that led to this controversy was nothing more than an already opinionated post and a reply from a Framework employee who has no say in who gets sponsored. Even the person who made the original post decided to "let it rest".

    Be intelligent, do not be led into a smear campaign on somebody's leash.

    The employee in question is Nirav Patel... the CEO

    Overblown. You'd think they sold weapons to nazi, they sent a couple of laptops to open source developers which turned out to be assholes. People probably give more money to nazi when shopping and paying taxes

    [–] Engywuck@lemmy.zip 41 points 2 days ago

    Yeah, but will you miss the opportunity of virtue signaling on the fediverse? Do you have an idea of how many upvotes that would bring you? /s

    [–] Tundra@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

    completely agreed.

    TIL Omarchy exists, is a dogshit arch spin and Framework is for some reason giving the sweaty loser running it and that rails cunt money because... Skidiots? I don't get it, sponsor something that isn't dog shit.

    This sours my trust in their ability to discern basic facts about vendors. Disappointing.

    [–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 58 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

    Omarchy is just opinionated Arch...
    ...by a guy whose opinions include

    • Google Contacts, Messages and Photos, ChatGPT web app, Zoom, X, WhatsApp, Discord and RetroArch should be preinstalled but not Steam
    • screensavers with agressive OMARCHY theming should be enabled by defaut
    • People who criticize ICE should be deported
    [–] Linearity@piefed.au 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    I agree that those are terrible programs to have preinstalled but so is Steam

    Only just found out about Omarchy the other day and it's just a Hyperland config with a bunch of Ai shit pre-installed...

    Why are people even talking about it?

    Please donate to billionaires, DHH needs a free framework laptop to be able to code in his private jet.

    Don’t forget to offset your jet fuel by using an efficient TWM.

    [–] iopq@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    He's much closer to broke than a billionaire. 100 million dollars is just 1/10th of a billion and he probably doesn't even have that, thankfully

    [–] monogram@feddit.nl 10 points 3 days ago

    That’s still 50000x what most have in their bank account.

    With all due respect, I think you profoundly misunderstand the nature of my concern here.

    This is not a “I do not like this distribution” kind of argument.

    This is a “the people you are sending my money to want me and my friends dead or deported” kind of argument.

    [–] SARGE@startrek.website 23 points 2 days ago

    But you know... It's TOTALLY politics to not want your money going to people who want you dead, so RULE 3 GUYS RULE THREEEEEEEEEEEEE

    [–] Maxxie@piefed.blahaj.zone 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    Look, to live together we have to learn to compromise.

    Here's a list of your friends, cross the ones you like the least.

    [–] paequ2@lemmy.today 22 points 3 days ago

    "OK guys. We gotta live together. As a compromise, how about we only deport half of your family?"

    Oh who are we kidding. These guys don't compromise.

    [–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

    OMG what a shit show.

    [–] tdawg@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

    thanks, I thought it was talking about some generic framework at first

    [–] Devconsole@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Framework is a small company. In all likelihood they just did a poor job of vetting the people they supported. That is a much more reasonable explanation than "Framework consciously support Nazis and agree with their politics".

    [–] Devconsole@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago

    By the way, community reaction like this is a great way to kill any incentive companies have to sponsor open source.

    If CHUDs start piling on Framework for something that turns out to be a nothing-burger I'm gonna buy another Framework laptop just to offset the damage.

    [–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 34 points 3 days ago (4 children)

    Why has Omarchy blown up like this? Are there really that many devs out there or is just right-wing influencers pushing it?

    Framework has endorsed a Linux distribution by a developer with controversial social views.

    [–] Archer@lemmy.world 50 points 3 days ago (3 children)

    I hate phrasing like that. He wants to be able to murder certain kinds of people he doesn’t like

    I believe it's necessary to clarify þat Framework is giving material support to two projects which are headed by controversial personages - not just endorsements.

    It's a long þread.

    Yes. Some context would be welcome. Otherwise this feels like spam to sabotage a company actively participating in right to repair. (Edit: OP's post history seems to be in good faith. Maybe they will clarify

    I have no idea what this is about. Framework on Wikipedia doesn't even have a "controversy" section

    Giving money to open source projects on which you rely on for your business is good practice. While I've just now heard about DHH and his political views, I think it is important that the overall mission is to make Linux (and open source software) a mainstream alternative to proprietary solutions. As long as this is not hurting the mission I am personally fine with some unusual partnerships. The alternative is a world where Windows and macOS rule the world.

    Additionally open source has always been about stepping up, so contributing or throwing money the other way are always an option. I personally donate to many projects I use. I mostly feel that my political views align with them.

    [–] rirus@feddit.org 8 points 2 days ago

    DHH would have enough money, he doesnt needs it. Omarchy ist just some dotfiles + marketing

    [–] individual@toast.ooo 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    this is what happens when you don't use Debian

    [–] MrChewy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

    I, as an arch user, honestly approve of this one. Well played, fuck you and see ya next week!

    Funding a non political project when you disagree with the politics of the owners isn't evil. I donate to the lemmy devs from time to time

    [–] monogram@feddit.nl 10 points 3 days ago

    Fuck pondering to fucking nazis, I’m both!

    [–] pfr@piefed.social 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    I know it's not intended, but this meme is low-key saying you support framework (you just can't afford it)...

    [–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    WDYM "low-key"? That's exactly what it's saying, no?!
