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.

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.

Take the train to Brussel and let me know how you find it

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.

we can agree on the suicide rate being too high :p, these bleak winters certainly don't help up here in the north

I've found it fine for the last decade but I base my opinions on data, not online influences and vibes.
