They sponsor a window manager called Hyprland, which is developed by some aggressively unwoke guy. When dealing with it Framework has blundered, babbling about a big tent instead of publicly asking the guy to stop being an idiot if he wants to keep receiving money.

I suspect people asking to boycot Framework tend to forget that people occasionally need to buy new laptops, and when doing so they have the choice between 1) a repairable laptop developed by a company supporting open source, and 2) a non-repairable laptop lining the pockets of people who are guaranteed to do more evil in the world than whoever develops some fucking Wayland window manager. But this is probably a dangerous take in these parts.

Edit: It seems the Framework also tweeted about Omarchy and some stuff. Not a great look, not sure if it's boycot worthy either.

    It’s always a little strange to see people link the Hyprland toxicity post when so much of it wasn’t fact-checked by the author or was presented without the context to make it look worse.

    Yeah. I don't have the energy to read up on him too much but what I see reminds me more of socially awkward teenagers trying to be edgy than actual fascists. It seems to me it's a person who needs guidance more than boycot and a cold shoulder. But then again I can't be bothered to do my research and I'm sure a lot of people would be eager to tell me how wrong I am.

    I both understand and also completely do not understand this shit.

    Like you don't think there are anti-woke nazi motherfuckers profiting within every company?

    The hills people decide to die on are strange and in general the left likes cutting it's own nose off.
