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.

Great argument there. Replace what I say with whatever you think it says and go on from there. Should I just do the same with yours and we'll see what kind of nonsense comes out? I'm sure that would be in your interpretation of "good faith".

But don't worry, I don't expect a coherent response. This was a just-in-case kind of thing 😉

    I mean, yes... that is what i did... i explained as i did it.

    Should I just do the same with yours and we’ll see what kind of nonsense comes out? I’m sure that would be in your interpretation of “good faith”.

    Was this a preface to actually doing this? is there a part of the text missing ?
