gloated? That word does not mean what you think it means
Super Twitter-like got ya response.
We all make mistakes in life because no one is perfect. The important thing is to learn from them. If you tell me that you're perfect and have never made mistakes, I know you're lying.
He literally blurred out the speedo after the fact. This isn’t learning a lesson, this is getting caught and doing damage control. Fuck him.
Oh I am far from perfect and commit so many mistakes... but I don't obscure them and post them for clout!
Putting aside my opinions about Framework and their nazi-enveloping tent, I think this is good news and could help get more Linux users. North America already has 10% linux market share. If more youtubers keep talking about it, we could see another jump.
And if you have a YouTube account, you can also ask MKBHD to join the fediverse. Now that he's on Linux, it's the next logical step!
Framework and their nazi-enveloping tent
Can someone kindly explain this part or send a reference? I’ve missed this one.
Tl;dr: they give (gave?) money to omarchy, a DHH project (the RubyOnRails and Basecamp guy) who has made a fairly rapid descent from cringey tech bro to mealy-mouthed nationalist.
Ah okay, thanks!
Huh what about nazis? I knew Linus had a lot of money invested
The fuck is wrong with framework now then. Nazi what? I have no idea.
Everytime I see a nice new product show up it is nazi this nazi that. Getting fucking tired of it.
Also I seriously doubt the 10% statistic. Id expect it to still be around 3-4%-ish. Stats are probably skewed by AI agents scraping the internet.
I responded to another comment with a more thorough explanation if you're interested.
But they gave money to Omarchy, DHH project, and he has become extremely right-wing.
I think they gave him a Framework laptop so that he could ensure Omarchy works well on it, not money, right?
You might be right. They were (are?) funding hyprland to the tune of 600/mo. They definitely donated hardware and provided first hand social media promoting Omarchy.
Now that he’s on Linux, it’s the next logical step!
huh in what way is he now on Linux? He's firmly a macOS user.
Edit: whoops, thought we were on the DHH train here. Nevermind me just shitting on shitty people (like DHH).
Nice, also came here to remind everyone that Framework loves everyone including nazis (which is how you get a fascist country).
