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.

The employee in question is Nirav Patel... the CEO

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.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 26 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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
[-] Linearity@piefed.au 5 points 3 weeks ago

I agree that those are terrible programs to have preinstalled but so is Steam

[-] Zoot@reddthat.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

Hey don't you shit on my bazzite like that >:(. It.. Works

[-] monogram@feddit.nl 20 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] monogram@feddit.nl 6 points 3 weeks ago

That’s still 50000x what most have in their bank account.

[-] HouseWolf@pawb.social 18 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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?

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] paequ2@lemmy.today 41 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] Maxxie@piefed.blahaj.zone 14 points 3 weeks ago

Look, to live together we have to learn to compromise.

Here's a list of your friends, cross the ones you like the least.

[-] paequ2@lemmy.today 9 points 3 weeks ago

"OK guys. We gotta live together. As a compromise, how about we only deport half of your family?"

Oh who are we kidding. These guys don't compromise.

[-] Nyadia 1 points 3 weeks ago

DNC consultants be like

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

thanks, I thought it was talking about some generic framework at first

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

[-] Engywuck@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Tundra@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

completely agreed.

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

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Because it's a competently-made, new distribution with interesting features. Not everything you don't understand is a fucking conspiracy.

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 11 points 3 weeks ago

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?

[-] rirus@feddit.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

It was also features in popular Podcasts like syntax.fm and changelog.com I hear them a lot and especially Changelog featured DHH often, so I had a positive opinion of that name until I really read his blog and what he is.

[-] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Ah, the mod is a fan of the milkshake duck!

[-] evidences@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

What? I feel like I'm missing something.

[-] cadekat@pawb.social 24 points 3 weeks ago

Framework has endorsed a Linux distribution by a developer with controversial social views.

[-] Sxan@piefed.zip 38 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago

It's a long bread.

[-] Skunk@jlai.lu 3 points 3 weeks ago

Everything is baguette, join us.

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

I thought with one of them, it was "just" using the official platform to promote it dozens of times.

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago

I hate phrasing like that. He wants to be able to murder certain kinds of people he doesn’t like

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 1 points 3 weeks ago

I hate phrasing like that. I want to be able to kill people who want to kill people he doesn’t like.

The problem with him is the right wing hate.

[-] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 19 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

[-] Sxan@piefed.zip 24 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Oh, boy. Are you in for a treat!

[-] sunglocto@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

This is a joke

[-] pfr@piefed.social 11 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] monogram@feddit.nl 6 points 3 weeks ago

Fuck pondering to fucking nazis, I’m both!

[-] individual@toast.ooo 6 points 3 weeks ago

this is what happens when you don't use Debian

[-] MrChewy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

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)

[-] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] renegadespork@lemmy.jelliefrontier.net 17 points 3 weeks ago

There's no way that's true.

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

You have laptops with upgradable GPUs? They came out with a GPU upgrade for my 16

[-] ComradeRachel 2 points 3 weeks ago

Seriously though you can get a brand new thinkpad for cheaper price than a similar framework. The prices are eh.

[-] Devconsole@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Framework is a small company. In all likelihood they just did a poor job of vetting the people they supported. That is a much more reasonable explanation than "Framework consciously support Nazis and agree with their politics".

Never mind what is up with Nazis? I don't know about it.
