You've accidentally misgendered cowbee, fyi.

This is the blog post where you'll see the money. DHH is Omarchy and Rails, Vaxry is Hyprland. Hyprland got, functionally, a pittance, and Vaxry (while on the right) I don't personally see as being anywhere near as terrible as DHH.

If you want to know about DHH, rather than read articles, you can look at his blog directly. - https://world.hey.com/dhh. Scan the titles of posts and you'll find his positions pretty quickly, and you can read the posts themselves where he references the white replacement conspiracy theory and more.

I absolutely agree that its great that they support the right to repair. That is, to me, what makes the response here so disappointing.

I personally do not want my money to feed the far right, and the simple fact is, that is where a portion of framework purchasing is going. These are not projects where there is a person or two within a large group who are far right, but projects where they are the project fundamentally. What throws me as well is the choice of Hyprland (financially) and Omarchy (marketing - heavy, heavy marketing). Even more odd, DHH again with Rails World with an alarming amount of money - five times what they gave to the Linux Foundation, double what they gave to Gnome, 2.5 times what they gave to the Linux Vendor Firmware Service, 50 times what they gave to the Open Hardware Summit, 12 times what they gave to KDE Akademy and DebConf.....

Writing that out makes it feel even weirder. Rails World. How in the hell does Rails World even fit in with what Framework does?

It isn't just supporting a few shitty people in a mix of other things, its far outsized support.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had approved the drones for research and many also belonged to people in the area, President Donald Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at her first White House briefing on Tuesday.

Framework has directly and indirectly supported devs that are far right, one much more hard right than the other, but both are far right.

The direct is money. Indirect is marketing.

You don't really need to dig into anything here, those two sentences sums up the entire situation.

I still dont see it there

Because the "update" to the blog post was:

Note that this list does not include products sent for marketing use or R&D use

As a way to not talk about DHH/Omarchy directly, or the promotion they were doing (which was many times more than anything else they were talking about).

I mean, its twitter. Its almost entirely fascist tech bros there.

No, just this "joke" and you not understsnding beehaw.

Take the L.

YDI.

This definitely had a negative impact on my view of framework, can't say I'd buy from them again.

Not bulleted but also important:

On Friday, Newsom also signed AB 727, a bill that compels public schools and colleges to include the Trevor Project’s LGBTQ+ suicide hotline on student ID cards. Previously, only the inclusion of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline was mandated by California law.

That works, I'll do some hunting around - thanks!
