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.

    Shoutout to gleam.run whose web page has always (AFAIK) said

    Black lives matter. Trans rights are human rights. No nazi bullsh*t.

      They’re very based.

      And if you click on the star (desktop only), the background becomes a pride flag :D

      I’d love to use gleam but I don’t think it’s production-ready yet, so I’ll stick with elixir.
