i dont really care about the internal politics of software projects, especially open source ones, but why in the world is Framework sponsoring an also-ran Linux window manager for power users that probably has a userbase in the low 100's? Why not sponsor the KDE or something that people actually use and would help drive Linux adoption? Very stupid, cloudflare is also sponsoring them. Maybe it's crypto-fascist solidarity.

I'm very disappointed, this "open tent" argument is intellectualy dishonest and unacceptable: allowing openly hateful people into the big tent only means they will harm other people, and end up alone. It's just impossible to have a big tent with them and must be excluded.
I was trying to get the company I work for to adopt framework laptops as standard, and they were very interested. I've told them to stop the adoption effective immediately until there's a reversal in political messaging the company is doing, a simple "we're sorry we won't don't again" is not enough when they have funded
This also applies to recommending it to friends and family, of course.
So are we going to get upset about an open source project with asshole devs on an open source platform who's main devs are also assholes?
They are a business that wants or needs to make profit and spread adoption of their product, therefore they will fund what gets them there rather than the moral choice
I fail to see how Hyprland devs is far right racists.
