This must be one of the very first video games I ever played. /1
<erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.
[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.
why not embrace fashtech! they’ve got:
- terrible Fisher-Price CSS
- the most toxic part of the Wayland ecosystem, and that’s saying something
- the worst part of the X11 ecosystem, and that’s saying something
- suckless tools and they all fucking suck
- corporate control over the packages you wrote, for your own protection
- distributed functional programming that doesn’t function or distribute
Especially "Like A Woman Can", "Darkness Always Wins" and "Rain Your Blood On Me".
Definitely listening to that on repeat in the coming days.
Apparently this requires restating:
We should not want a European Palantir.
We should not want an open-source Palantir.
We should not want a non-commercial Palantir.
If it is supposed to do what Palantir does, we should not want it.
And I don't care to what extent Palantir's products are shaped by political or profit motives. We know enough to reject its logic altogether.
