Framework flame war erupts over support of politically polarizing Linux projects (www.theregister.com)

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.

it just sounds like you're bending over backwards to make trans and racialized people drink polluted water. and you're trying to convince the rest of us that the water is just fine actually because you have a reverse osmosis system installed (being cis or white)

No, I pointing out that the filters don't actually work.

Transphobic and racist behaviour isn't going to disappear just because you boycott it.

The consequences of bigotry aren't reading mean tweets, it's going to a job interview and having the prospective employer think "eww.. I don't like this candidate". Boycotting is not going to fix that, because your purity test can't even detect it.

I don't purity test people because the reality is that most/all people have some harmful notions, it's not productive or good for anyone to ostracize them so long as we can promote the good they do, and mitigate the harm.

One thing I can take solace in is the fact that extremists tend to be too stupid, lazy and drug-addicted to even do the most basic revolutionary activities.

if we're doing criticisms now, you're failing to do the most basic of revolutionary activities by deep-throating the Aryan boot instead of simply polishing it like a normal quisling should

But it's nice to see that you object to boycotting and instead plan to murder people. I would never ever advocate for murdering people because Nazis aren't considered people. they decided to abandon their right to life by advocating for taking mine away
