Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

As a former donor to KDE I love nothing more than being called mere rabble.

KDE e.V. has [verified] that Framework had severed their (already very limited) ties with DHH and Omarchy.

This is asserted in the article, without citation. I'd love to know a source we can verify for this? Haven't seen any verifiable announcement of this about Framework severing ties to DHH, or exactly what that entails.

@bignose I may be wrong, but I believe that the only direct link between Framework and DHH was them mentioning Omarchy on their social feeds and they stopped doing that.

Also they never financially supported Omarchy or DHH as far as I know. Their sponsorships are here: https://frame.work/blog/framework-sponsorships

You are wrong. Omarchy is still listed on https://frame.work/linux as one of the "distributions" that they give free hardware to, and Nirav's statement that they "don’t partner based on individuals’ or organizations’ beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software" is still available at https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986

You'll also note that Hyprland is on the list of officially sponsored projects, and while I was willing to give that community the benefit of the doubt for a bit, Vaxry was a speaker at Omacon and sponsored by Omacom, proving that I was wrong to do so.

@flowerysong I wonder what the source in the original post was. I can't find it.

they did much more than just mention omarchy, and they’re still funding hyprland who are exactly the same types of assholes
