With the Linux Vendor Firmware Service serving more than 135 million downloads for Linux users updating their system and device firmware, LVFS has been working to get more hardware vendors to contribute either engineering resources or directly contributing annual dues as sponsors. Framework Computer is now the first one to have executed an agreement under these new sponsorship efforts.

Red Hat in employing lead developer Richard Hughes has contributed the most to LVFS/Fwupd's success, the Linux Foundation has also hosted the project since it has shifted into their umbrella, AMD's Mario Limonciello is among the significant contributors, and now Framework Computer is a new sponsor to the project.

They openly support fashtech like Hyperland and the "distro" Omarchy. In response to the well-justified backlash against this, founder Nirav Patel tried to hand wave the issue away by talking about how they want "a big tent" for open source", completely ignoring the nazi cunts behind the projects they support.

If you want to know more details here a two articles:

    Why do you use Lemmy, given the politics of its own source creator? Bit hypocritical.

    Not to speak for them but bare minimum one is supporting them monetarily, one is free

    You're not directly paying them, but by being here and contributing to the community, you're providing value to others who would then go on to donate to the devs.

    There is no "one community" in the traditional sense, in fact many of us are boycotting contributions to their actual community/instance .ml

    By contributing activity to comms on other instances and advocating growth on other instances and even advocating alternatives like PieFed, actually dilutes their influence

    "Retarded take"

    Your choice of words shows your true colors. You don't like it when I call out your associates for what they are?

    You really don't see it, right? This whole "Oh my god, he is a fash!" talk has to be a godsend for big tech and the corpos as a whole. Instead of cooperating - even with people who might hate your guts in another setting, and fighting THE MAN - you rather opt for infighting and purity testing. If you would think about it - just for a minute - you would discover that you have more in common with an ultra conservative, confederate flag waving redneck than with the "nice, diverse, clean and woke" corporations and organisations who are removing freedom from us all, cut by cut, slice by slice...
