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.

“[I]ncreasing the adoption of open source software” is such a bullshit argument here anyway, holy shit lol.

They’re not sponsoring Asahi Linux or FOSS Nvidia drivers but DHH’s fucking Arch setup and Ratpoison but worse and with rounded corners.

    @mii @cornflake

    "We did not realize the ethics of the individuals that were behind these organizations; we're sorry we should have investigated organizations better prior to donating to them. We will better research organizations in the future and we have stopped funding for these two groups".

    That. Is that so fucking difficult for them to say?

    I've been checking the thread over the last couple days expecting something like that from them, but nope. Nothing yet.
