“[I]ncreasing the adoption of open source software” is such a bullshit argument here anyway, holy shit lol.
Not to mention, actively welcoming Nazis into the open source bar is gonna achieve the exact goddamn opposite of increasing adoption, by driving away marginalised users, introducing unnecessary security risks, actively rotting communities from the inside, and God-only-knows-what-else.
Found a nice and lengthy sneer of Bluesky's dogshit moderation in the wild, focusing on how its repeatedly fucked over marginalised users.
I am so sorry to tell you this, but its the exact same Framework developing modular and repairable laptops.
Found the thread, and it is a doozy. Personal "highlight" goes to this mf claiming the paradox of tolerance was about Marxism all along.
VHS won in the end, in part because they allowed spicy mode 😉
That factoid isn't even true - Sony had zero control over what people put on the tapes, meaning both formats allowed porn.
VHS didn't win because of porn, VHS won because a standard VHS cassette contains a shitload more tape than Beta (meaning a much longer recording time), and because the format was much more open (letting anyone build a VCR player and driving down the price).
Because Omarchy is an open endorsement of fascism disguised as a Linux distro - like the takeovers of NixOS and RubyGems, its success would help to further entrench fascists in the FOSS ecosystem.
The thread's made it onto r/framework - there's a lot of fash coming out the woodwork and getting downvoted, plus a lot of people deeply disappointed in Framework's Fash Turn.
Also found another thread on the forums, with multiple people jumping ship from using them: https://community.frame.work/t/withdrawing-all-financial-association-from-framework-until-further-changes/76005
Framework getting into the fashtech game.

Framework had a perfectly good thing going - they were beacons of right to repair, they were making the best laptops on the market, and then they went and FUCKED it all up! Does working in tech destroy your moral compass or something?
After the revelation that their desktop machine was going to be aimed at ai bros and had soldered-on ram I was concerned that they might be abandoning the principles behind their laptops.
In retrospect, the fact they were happily aiming at AI bros should've been a major red flag - AI is arguably the ultimate fashtech, built to empower fascism and undermine democracy.
At this point, I'm gonna stop extending benefit of the doubt - Framework's choice to actively advance fascist interests, and double down when called out, is proof enough for me that they're fascists themselves.
