@esoteric_programmer @WeirdWriter well there are licenses that are technically open-source but also enforce ethical or moral constraints on the user - look no further than the May you do good and no evil of the SQLite license.But of course they are not OSI-compliant. Because the OSI framework for FOSS licenses is very clear about the principle of non-discrimination.The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.Which of course is a double-edge sword. I’m very Popperian in stating the principle of intolerance towards the intolerant. But the doctrine here is that something that is truly free to use shouldn’t care about its end user - just like cash is allowed to pass through any hands.Of course I would like to have a better framework that explicitly prevents the usage of my product for military purposes or to run the website of the local Nazi club, without compromising the FOSS label on my product. But I also realize why the license committees so far have pulled back: limiting the usage of free products on ethical basis is a slippery slope that can be easily abused - the definition itself of “Nazi” is something that even today many don’t agree on, let alone be consistently enforced through an objective framework.And the other problem is, of course, enforcement: if anyone can git clone a project, then enforcement becomes nearly impossible.Look no further that Mastodon itself, whose codebase was basically ripped off by Truth - and in that case the violation happened because Mastodon is AGPLv3 and Truth didn’t disclose the source code, not because Truth is a genuine Nazi shithole.But still, if a Nazi used my project released under an OSI-compliant license I would clearly state that I strongly disagree with that guy, that I wish I could impose limitation upon that usage without compromising my OSI compliance, but given the constraint of the licensing framework I can’t - I can either impose limitations on usage, or maintain an OSI-compliance license, but not both.I definitely wouldn’t say “we’re a big tent for everyone” like that guy did…

@fabio @esoteric_programmer Here’s a genuine question. So everybody knows that anybody can use the Fediverse as an example. Everybody knows that Nazis use Linux, LibreOffice, open source but do you think instance directories list these Nazi instances? Do you think LibreOffice boasts about having hateful people use their tools? They purposefully never promote these hateful people. Framework is actively promoting them. How do you think those two incidents are similar in any way?

@WeirdWriter @fabio @esoteric_programmer What would it take for you retards to understand that you cannot fight authority with authority. For bit I thought, "I should write proprietary software and donate earnings to FSF and free projects, those who are worth will use free software and software I write will only oppress normies" but that would make free software sisters minority and its much easier to trample on rights of minority.Ironic how Stallman being as left as he is, has complete support from "nazis" and you people hate him for it, maybe because he is more principled than all of open source combined which spares no opportunity to boot lick corporations. Corporations which are notorious for using their power to oppress, not just minorities but everyone.That said I don't like Framework because it is "open source", but compared to ANY other proprietary hw companies, they are better. And you idiots will snuff them out and then go buy apple...Ah this has motivated to pick my projects back up, thank you for being retarded

@WeirdWriter @fabio @esoteric_programmer I'm a nazi, and I just want Framework to offer lidless laptops, as in a tablet with usb ports.

This was my old work laptop:https://battlepenguin.com/technology/replacing-a-dell-inspiron-with-a-framework-laptop/It has some thermal issues, but no where near as bad as the 11th Gen Intel X1 Lenovos. My older AMD Lenovo still smokes it though. The framework stuff is so retarded, as are all these idiots who don't realize they're following the words of a narcissistic loliphile (Drew DeVault) who clearly defamed Vaxry because he couldn't stand the idea of someone making a tiling window manager for Wayland that wasn't a fucking god awful buggy piece of shit. But even if all the Hyprland stuff was remotely true, who gives a shit? People use to have ideologically differences on morality and it didn't turn into this wild-banshee-screaming fest where everyone thinks the word "Nazi" has some type of objective definition in 2025.

It was okay, but not great. Both are hobbled by Wayland. I last tried Sway in 2022 and wrote this:https://battlepenguin.com/technology/i-try-sway-wayland-about-once-a-year/and I wrote this two years later on Hyprland:https://battlepenguin.com/tech/adventures-in-hyprland/Hyprland is superior is pretty much every way, but I still ended up having to go back to X11. I only use Wayland on machines where I need HDR (like my home theater). I'm using Xlibre on a few machines and it's a great drop in replacement.

@Zergling_man @WeirdWriter @Pi_rat @fabio @esoteric_programmer Lenovo is a proprietary hardware company, but their computers are well supported by GNU/Linux due to 3rd parties writing drivers for them.For some models, almost all of the proprietary software has been replaced; https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuboot/status.html

@Pi_rat @Zergling_man @WeirdWriter @esoteric_programmer @fabio Most Intel CPUs made after 2008 have an updated Management Engine version that handles init of the CPU with proprietary software, with a digital signature to make it cryptographically impossible to replace that software.The ME also functions as a backdoor - even if the proprietary software has no backdoor in it (has a proprietary backdoor ever been not implemented in the case where backdooring is possible?) - the vulnerabilities found in it means it functions as a backdoor regardless.Therefore, core i ThinkPads and newer are incompatible with freedom - even though drivers that work well are available.

@Pi_rat @WeirdWriter @Zergling_man @esoteric_programmer @fabio There are many models and many newer models are just complete garbage and are full of bugs.The quality peaked at the core 2 Duo, non IBM branded line, then stayed the same for the following core i line (somewhat useful, as you can reuse the cases etc on the good models, as they're the same) and then the quality went down.
