It goes both ways. The situation is still developing, whatever information you have might become obsolete an hour from now. If you need to air your feelings, this isn't the right place for it. It's also worth keeping in mind that the interaction that led to this controversy was nothing more than an already opinionated post and a reply from a Framework employee who has no say in who gets sponsored. Even the person who made the original post decided to "let it rest".
Be intelligent, do not be led into a smear campaign on somebody's leash.
Overblown. You'd think they sold weapons to nazi, they sent a couple of laptops to open source developers which turned out to be assholes. People probably give more money to nazi when shopping and paying taxes
TIL Omarchy exists, is a dogshit arch spin and Framework is for some reason giving the sweaty loser running it and that rails cunt money because... Skidiots? I don't get it, sponsor something that isn't dog shit.
This sours my trust in their ability to discern basic facts about vendors. Disappointing.
Framework is a small company. In all likelihood they just did a poor job of vetting the people they supported. That is a much more reasonable explanation than "Framework consciously support Nazis and agree with their politics".
Giving money to open source projects on which you rely on for your business is good practice. While I've just now heard about DHH and his political views, I think it is important that the overall mission is to make Linux (and open source software) a mainstream alternative to proprietary solutions. As long as this is not hurting the mission I am personally fine with some unusual partnerships. The alternative is a world where Windows and macOS rule the world.
Additionally open source has always been about stepping up, so contributing or throwing money the other way are always an option. I personally donate to many projects I use. I mostly feel that my political views align with them.
