As others have commented, Apple ... but also when was the last time HP was a manufacturer of quality anything? 😭

What is wrong with Hyprland?

What is the ethical fork of hyprland?

Not quite technically "money directly", but definitely more than just "shoutouts"

We’ve sent out large quantities of hardware to folks at Fedora, Bluefin, Bazzite, NixOS, Arch Linux, Linux Mint, Omarchy, and many other distros, and have sponsored either the organizations directly or events with Linux Foundation, LVFS, NixOS, Debian, KDE, Hyprland, and others.

It's a bad time to learn that hyprland community is toxic. I've used it for a long while now pretty comfortably.

Seeing Framework give money to DHH is like watching someone step on a rake and defending it.

I'm tired of idiots who defend anything as long as they like it, and only care about morality when they're offended.

I saw the same thing happen with popular new game Mewgenics where creator of Binding of Isaac, Edmund, defended including Chris Chan, who couldn't be found guilty of SA'ing their demented mother on account of their autism.

It's not only decision but the defense that makes these things look bad. They need to give money to fascists. They need to include controversial people. The people who defend it seem like they perceive criticism as personal attacks and retaliate in bad faith arguments.

At this point I'm venting. Lemmy is great because it tends to attract people who are less pressured to conform to their tribes, which is great for having authentic discussions.

Then you’re diluting the power of the word Nazi, and therefore giving actual Nazis an advantage.

There's a whole list of things with DHH with FW, there are plenty of details so I'm not going through the whole thing. I'd also mention we've got a pretty obvious problem with millionaires and up with their quest for money currently causing massive problems around the world, so his being a millionaire is not a positive.

For open hardware? MNT.

Railsworld sponsorship, which is still massively outsizing most other support. What I don't see is any more of the constant posts about Omarchy, which is a net improvemen but still not at the spot I personally want to see.

I do cringe just a tad at "We don’t partner based on individuals’ or organizations’ beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software." Mentioned here, but they do appear to do some research:

On Hyprland specifically, we were aware that there was past toxicity and controversy in their community, so we did research into it before deciding if we could sponsor the project. What we found was that there were past failures in moderation early in the creation of the project that had resulted in a toxic community, that the project lead vaxry had overhauled moderation years ago as a result, and that the community as it currently stands does not represent the one in which the issues occurred.

Though I cannot attest as to whether this clears anything/everything.
