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.

Well, u should watch Kurt Caz on youtube. Checkout London, Barcelona, Brussel. Then tell me that there isn't a problem going on. Racism is not to be defended, but you can't just call everything racism when countries are going to shit.

    But is the reason these countries are "going to shit" race related? And what exactly does "going to shit" mean?

    Since you referenced Kurt Caz, a notorious racist and xenophobe, I'm guessing your answer is yes and "less white", but us adults in the room wonder about the real issues and their causes.

    "Us adults" lol. Look at crime statistics. A certain minority causes a disproportionate amount of the crimes. Look I'm not white myself, and not all immigrants are bad. But lately EU has had a lot of problems because of refugees and migration. Housing shortages, increase in crime. It isn't just black and white. There is more nuance to it than too far right and being racist, and being too far left and ignoring that there are problems caused.

    As for Kurt I only know him walking around in favelas hahah, so whoops not the best example. But his videos do show the growing problems in cities

    You are being fed BS. There are no crime statistics that show this once you actually look at the data in an unbiased way, but there are a lot of people which present the data in ways that are easy to misunderstand (on purpose).

    Possibly, no one is immune to propaganda. And I might be completely off by linking it to increase in migrations etc. But it's getting less appealing to be walking around alone at night in the major European Cities.

    Why less appealing? There is no increase in crime or anything else that makes that less appealing (other than that a lot of small shops closed during the pandemic or are being priced out by real-estate speculators), you really need to stop believing the lies these social media influencers feed you.

    Perfectly fine, I was there not too long ago. Belgium has an alarmingly high suicide rate though. That is probably something that needs to be looked at and is a way more pressing topic than a largely imagined increase in downtown crime rate.
