Framework flame war erupts over support of politically polarizing Linux projects (www.theregister.com)

Six days ago, upgradeable laptop maker Framework tried to convince its fractious user community to live in a "big tent" after a Debian developer objected to the company's sponsorship of Hyprland and its social media promotion of Omarchy, with both projects associated with politically polarizing viewpoints.

Antoine Beaupré, aka anarcat, demanded that Framework clarify its political position with regard to these two projects.

Hyprland, a Wayland compositor, is led by a "toxic and hateful community," Beaupré observed, and Omarchy, a Linux distribution, comes from David Heinemeier Hansson (aka DHH), a controversial figure in the Ruby and Linux communities.

Yeah good luck with that. The righteous left doesn't want empathetic coexistence with alternative views any more than the immoral right does.

DHH has fairly normal right wing views. Nobody has been able to point me to anything so objectionable that should mean he is excluded from the community. The worst I could find is that he thinks it would be better if London was predominantly native British, which I don't think is an out-there idea.

These inclusive communities have to learn to be more actually inclusive. It's ok to ban him if he's harassing people due to their political views in the Ruby community, but it looks like all he did was post some moderately right-wing views on his blog.

Not going to hold my breath though.

I don't know anything about the Hyprland guy but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a similar story.

I don't coexist with people who literally want my friends and loved ones (and people I don't even know, because it doesn't really matter) dead.

Good policy, but where did he ever say that?

what does "London not being like 90s" mean to you?
