    they sponsored Omarchy and Hyprland. one a glorified dotfiles arch “distro” built by DHH who is pretty much a fascist and Hyprland a buggy neon mess of a WM built by a transphobic fascist.

    So yeah, they’re not having a good time right now.

        because they’re built by individuals who are those things. that’s the controversy. that’s it.

        the whole thing is people are upset that Framework sponsored those things because they don’t like paying Framework for their machines who in turn then give money to people they feel are facists.

          To me they give to a project that have individual that hold controversial opinion rather than to a controversial individual but I can understand the logic.

          But tbh I would rather be pissed that a company would finnanve other while they sell their stuff for a premium price

            If the individual is the only one in charge of the project, and controls the money, there really isnt a difference.
