In case you haven’t heard the news, Framework went and publicly sponsored Hyprland (the most toxic part of Wayland by a country mile) and openly shilled Omarchy multiple times (the pet project of fascist shithead David Heinemeier Hansson) recently.

In response to well-justified backlash against this, founder Nirav Patel responded with FOSSbro platitudes about “[creating] a big tent" for open source”.

If you’ve got any more updates on this self-inflicted shitshow, put them here so they can be collected in one place.

(In retrospect, that AI-pilled Framework Desktop should’ve been a major red flag they were gonna pull this shit.)

EDIT (2): Found a solid summary of the situation, and a solid teardown of Nirav’s actions - recommend checking them out.

    open transphobia and fascism is just as bad as being

    known for being a tankie with biases of his own

    That will entirely depend on do they use the word tankie correctly or not. Of yes, then yes, openly supporting authoritarian aggression is pretty bad actually.
