       Yes, I'm holding @frameworkcomputer to exceptionally high standards. Because they set out to be the *good* laptop company. Many believed them (many *still do*). They would not be able to sell a relatively expensive laptop without that belief.That company owes us. And I mean this very literally. The geeks that forked out their cash for a promise made this company relevant. They can't unilaterally break that promise and expect everyone to just keep buying their stuff.

       @bleeptrack @claudius It's a few layers of community drama deep. Here's the (very) brief.Omarchy is a Linux distro for Arch (or perhaps you might say it's an installable desktop rice/configuration). It's quite interesting as a project. Unfortunately, it's run by a guy called DHH, who has some weirdly alt-right views (white replacement theory, that type of thing, from what I've heard).The Hyprland project is a tiling window manager for Linux. Quite a cool project (i think all projects are cool). Anyways, unfortunately, it's got (or perhaps historically has, but is [maybe] getting better?) a kinda shitty toxic community. Like overtly transphobic mods who actively harass community members. Some of their problems might be grown out of now I'm not fully sure.

       @bleeptrack @claudius Okay context out of the way, Framework laptops decided to drop a ton of funding on both of these projects. It's rubbed people the wrong way, because Framework advertising itself as an "ethical" tech company, it really shouldn't be funding shitty communities.They were called out by the community for funding fashy types, framework makes a big community post saying they don't wanna get political, and they believe in an open dialoge and community, and basically "fuck you we're funding them anyways you dumb sensetive libs" (not a real quote), they say that they believe in a "big tent" (real quote) approach when it comes to open source.Progressives are further pissed now because Framework refuses to even be remorseful for funding shitty xenophobic communities, instead of uplifting communities that do good to be nice to the people who join looking to be part of it.

       @bleeptrack @claudius yeah, definitely recommend doing some reading on it. It's one of those incidents that kinda require a fine reading to understand. From what I'm hearing from others, the key point is that Framework was supposed to be one of the "good guys" in a sea of evil techno theocratic corporations. People saw their mission as inherently political, and are let down by the seeming change in attitude.

       @bleeptrack @claudius long story short: they funded a known Nazi and when someone told them about it the CEO publicly declared "we don't care, we want to build a big tent for everybody, this is not political" - well, now he has a Nazi bar inside his big tent and people (me included) are *pissed*Now we'll see if being a Nazi hurts the bottom line as much as it used to, especially when your customer base tends to swing left.

       @bleeptrack @riverpunk the summary is pretty solid, I would say. Thanks for taking the time to write it up in this much detail :-)
