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.

I don't think everyone who disagrees with me is a far right racist. I think you are a racist because you believe in the great replacement. Jury's still out on whether you're far right but that completely irrelevant cancel culture rant at the end of your comment isn't helping your case.

you believe in the great replacement

I don't believe there is a conspiracy to replace native Londoners. You're putting words in my mouth. I do believe that it is happening because census data shows that it is! Do you not?

I should probably stop replying because you're just making up things that I have supposedly said (seems to be a theme here!)

I don't believe in the great replacement conspiracy theory, I just believe that it's happening

[–] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

The great replacement conspiracy is that demographic change is a deliberate plan by "elites". That's clearly absurd. It's happening despite their best efforts to stop it.

And when I say "it's happening", I mean in London, which is clearly an outlier.
