[Boosts appreciated] Statement on Frameworks sponsoring of certain FOSS maintainers/projects
I paid a fuckton of money for my @frameworkcomputer laptop parts. I paid extra for the parts I could've saved money on elsewhere because I wanted to support the company and what they stand for. I even ported Debian to the RISC-V Motherboard for the product that made Framework Framework: The Framework 13.
Now Framework decided to sponsor Omarchy and Hyprland, the leaderships of which are not just "politically of a different opinion", they are actively toxic, hostile and highly discriminatory, to phrase it euphemistically.
Nirav Patel responded to this in the community forum, essentially doubling down on the decision to take a "big tent approach".
I want to reiterate: __This isn't about "political differences", because the political difference are actively harmful to democracy itself, and the physical safety of marginalised communities.
Someone I supported in good faith with both code and money turned around and gave this money to multiple people who'd rather see me dead for existing.
Needless to say, I feel quite betrayed and I'm really torn on wether or not I should even continue and proceed with the port for the second RISC-V mainboard, because I don't want to end up supporting the hate towards me, my wife or other people in the same situation as me.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels betrayed by this decision.

Meinen Studis habe ich letztes Semester ihre schriftliche Arbeit über Datenflüsse in Zyklus-Apps gegeben. Hier auch nochmal: Es gibt weltweit 2 (in Worten: ZWEI) #ZyklusApp.s, die eure Daten nicht an Werbenetzwerke und/oder Regierungen weitergeben. #Flo und #Clue sind nicht darunter. Eine App verwenden zu wollen ist okay. Aber bitte nehmt #Drip oder #Periodical, die haben keine Tracker und speichern eure Daten lokal auf eurem Gerät.

'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Mastodon, is in fact, GNU/Mastodon, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Mastodon. Mastodon is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Today's undefined moon is 0% of full brightness, and is currently NaN km from Earth and NaN km from the sun. It's been NaN days since the last new moon.
The grass touching will continue until morale improves.
