The whole open source community loves Milkshake Laptops, a lovely laptop company that has ethical values! 5 seconds later We regret to inform you the laptop company stans fascists
Impossible to tell. Not a good person for sure, but fascist, probably not. The precipitating event happened on the Hyprland discord, which was unmoderated at the time. Someone made transphobic remarks. Drew DeVault (a big-mouthed idealist with extreme opinions and thin skin) kicked Hyprland out of the Freedesktop project for this, and wrote a wordy blog post criticising the community. Then, because media literacy is fucking dead, people who already agreed with DeVault’s views took it at face value and ran with it to chase the Woozle.
The truth is somewhere between the extremes, and if that one article that indirectly refers to the incident is enough for you to make such a conclusion… you and DeVault would get along just fine.
(edit) I haven’t used Hyprland for over a year and have been out of the loop, this info might be outdated.
This guy is full of shit. He’s a Lemmy.world mod and had to lock the meme about this because it wasn’t lining up with his world view and he’s being down voted.
He’s not arguing in good faith. Just desperate. 🤡
this comment undermines what happened as “someone made transphobic remarks” when there was more than “someone” and more than “transphobia” (not that just one person saying transphobic bs makes it not bad, but saying its a single incident and not a repeated common thread in that community is undermines at the very least).
