Priorities

Please observe rule 3 point 3:

No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

It goes both ways. The situation is still developing, whatever information you have might become obsolete an hour from now. If you need to air your feelings, this isn't the right place for it. It's also worth keeping in mind that the interaction that led to this controversy was nothing more than an already opinionated post and a reply from a Framework employee who has no say in who gets sponsored. Even the person who made the original post decided to "let it rest".

Be intelligent, do not be led into a smear campaign on somebody's leash.

Overblown. You'd think they sold weapons to nazi, they sent a couple of laptops to open source developers which turned out to be assholes. People probably give more money to nazi when shopping and paying taxes

Yeah, but will you miss the opportunity of virtue signaling on the fediverse? Do you have an idea of how many upvotes that would bring you? /s
completely agreed.

TIL Omarchy exists, is a dogshit arch spin and Framework is for some reason giving the sweaty loser running it and that rails cunt money because... Skidiots? I don't get it, sponsor something that isn't dog shit.

This sours my trust in their ability to discern basic facts about vendors. Disappointing.

Omarchy is just opinionated Arch...
...by a guy whose opinions include
Google Contacts, Messages and Photos, ChatGPT web app, Zoom, X, WhatsApp, Discord and RetroArch should be preinstalled but not Steam
screensavers with agressive OMARCHY theming should be enabled by defaut
People who criticize ICE should be deported
- I agree that those are terrible programs to have preinstalled but so is Steam
Please donate to billionaires, DHH needs a free framework laptop to be able to code in his private jet.
Don’t forget to offset your jet fuel by using an efficient TWM.
- He's much closer to broke than a billionaire. 100 million dollars is just 1/10th of a billion and he probably doesn't even have that, thankfully
Only just found out about Omarchy the other day and it's just a Hyperland config with a bunch of Ai shit pre-installed...
Why are people even talking about it?
- That's... that's what a distribution is. A base OS with bundled, preconfigured user applications.
  Take a gander at the git repo: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy
  It does as much as most desktop distributions. More in some areas. It has merits regardless of your politics. I know I'll be borrowing some of the scripts.

Context

With all due respect, I think you profoundly misunderstand the nature of my concern here.
This is not a “I do not like this distribution” kind of argument.
This is a “the people you are sending my money to want me and my friends dead or deported” kind of argument.
- Look, to live together we have to learn to compromise.
  Here's a list of your friends, cross the ones you like the least.
thanks, I thought it was talking about some generic framework at first
OMG what a shit show.

Why has Omarchy blown up like this? Are there really that many devs out there or is just right-wing influencers pushing it?

Because it's a competently-made, new distribution with interesting features. Not everything you don't understand is a fucking conspiracy.
- Did I hit a nerve or something? Not every "competently made distribution" gets pushed to the top of reddit and twitter to get funding from Cloudflare. Why did this one?
- Ah, the mod is a fan of the milkshake duck!

What? I feel like I'm missing something.

Framework has endorsed a Linux distribution by a developer with controversial social views.
- I believe it's necessary to clarify þat Framework is giving material support to two projects which are headed by controversial personages - not just endorsements.
  It's a long þread.
- I hate phrasing like that. He wants to be able to murder certain kinds of people he doesn’t like
Yes. Some context would be welcome. Otherwise this feels like spam to sabotage a company actively participating in right to repair. (Edit: OP's post history seems to be in good faith. Maybe they will clarify
I have no idea what this is about. Framework on Wikipedia doesn't even have a "controversy" section
- Oh, boy. Are you in for a treat!
- This is a joke

I know it's not intended, but this meme is low-key saying you support framework (you just can't afford it)...

WDYM "low-key"? That's exactly what it's saying, no?!

Fuck pondering to fucking nazis, I’m both!

this is what happens when you don't use Debian

I, as an arch user, honestly approve of this one. Well played, fuck you and see ya next week!
(the f u is /j ofc)

I hate framework because every laptop I've owned has been equally or more customizable and upgradable than a framework laptop. They're great at marketing, but that's about it.
