libbing-out

The hitlerite particle CEO says:

We support open source software (and hardware), and partner with developers and maintainers across the ecosystem. We deliberately create a big tent, because we want open source software to win. We don’t partner based on individuals’ or organizations’ beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software. We’ve sent out large quantities of hardware to folks at Fedora, Bluefin, Bazzite, NixOS, Arch Linux, Linux Mint, Omarchy, and many other distros, and have sponsored either the organizations directly or events with Linux Foundation, LVFS, NixOS, Debian, KDE, Hyprland, and others. Within the team itself, personal distro and OS preferences span basically every Linux distro you can imagine along with FreeBSD. I personally am running machines with Fedora (for machine learning), Bazzite (for gaming), Omarchy (general productivity), and Windows 11 (when I have to).

I definitely understand that not everyone will agree with taking a big tent approach, but we want to be transparent that bringing in and enabling every organization and community that we can across the Linux ecosystem is a deliberate choice.

Big tent is when you support British Nazi trash known as DHH. Framework CEO personally uses a distribution that has "Super GroKKK" built-in and chatgpt.

"This isn't a Nazi bar, I just believe that I need to open my doors to Nazis for my bar to be financially viable".

I'm tired, grandpa.

WE DONT NEED TO COLLABORATE WITH SHIT HEELS IN ORDER FOR OPEN SOURCE TO SUCCEED!!!!!!

I'm so fucking fed up with these fucking nerds pretending that sociopolitical ideologies are held in a vacuum... THEY AREN'T! We are seeing first hand the tech oligarchs put their thumb on the proverbial scale and artificially bolster their shit beliefs! Part of the beauty of open source is the fact that good faith actors can separate themselves from the bad faith ones. Unless of course they are in it for the VC bucks, not the movement.

For what it's worth, I never gave the framework stuff much thought. A bunch of dorks I worked with were fawning over it 3-4 years ago, meanwhile I'm over here running XFCE on a 12 year old Thinkpad. Get good, losers.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 17 points 1 day ago

Hard agree. The FOSS community is like everything good about tech but with the bad filtered out.

Let the hogs go back to their propriety Microslop. Make tech for weirdos again.

WE DONT NEED TO COLLABORATE WITH SHIT HEELS IN ORDER FOR OPEN SOURCE TO SUCCEED!!!!!!

Even in a hypothetical situation where this is true, and a business needs to collaborate with Nazis in order to be financially viable in a capitalist free market, isn't this just capitalism telling on itself??

Sorry everyone that my bare fucking minimum requirement for a social and economic system is a structure wherein Nazis are fucking PISSING themselves in TERROR of being exposed as Nazis.

If your arrangement does not reject all Nazism and make them COWER in panic, then it is immoral deserves to be burned the fuck all down.

Fuck I hate this place sometimes.

(I bought a framework a few months ago because I thought repairability was the way to reduce future ewaste but if I knew I wouldn't have given this shitstain my money)

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 17 points 1 day ago

sad typing on a framework noises

[–] gayspacemarxist@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

Isn't that also every notable tech company? Not that we can't criticize, but I don't see much difference between Framework and like HP.

[–] footfaults@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I want to think that DHH has gone fascist over a fairly quick period of time and people are still thinking of DHH, the guy from Ruby on rails. It takes quite a bit of time for his reputation to change, especially for someone like DHH who's been known for like 20 years.

I want to give Framework the benefit of the doubt.

We still need to put pressure on him, but honestly I didn't know anything about DHH going fascist until the RubyGems thing that just happened a couple weeks ago

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

It's also just kinda weird to sponsor some rich guys dotfiles.

Cloudflare sponsors him too for some reason.

[–] fox@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah but RubyGems broke containment into mainstream news. There's no excuse for a tech CEO who works with open source communities to not know he's creating a Nazi bar.

[–] footfaults@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 day ago

Right but the point about DHH being behind the RubyGems thing, I would argue, did not break into mainstream news.

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

DHH has been a Nazi since Basecamp, tbh. I think it just became more obvious as Rails (and, now, the entire Ruby ecosystem) became more and more central to his personality cult and pocketbook. I'm sure joining the Shopify board last year has only exacerbated the problem.

[–] LadyCajAsca@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

If I'm interpreting this correctly, the CEO apparently holds pro-immigrant beliefs but works with DHH (through Omarchy), known anti-immigrant fascist?

Yep libbing out libbing-out fits here

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Im ootl whats going on? what hte hell is omarchy?

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Omarchy is a psyop created by DHH (Elon musk type guy that became culture war icon) to rehabilitate his image.

The distribution is unimpresssive on an objective level (just dotfiles), but DHH has nazi friends in high places and got a huge sponsorship from cloudflare and framework. Notably this money is being taken away from projects DHH hates (who are all woke) and are funneled to him, feeding his ego and confirmation bias of his white supremacist views.

Framework has a neonazi ceo via association because the CEO admitted to using omarchy and thinks DHH is a good person to work with.

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i’m gonna be real with you, i still have no idea what’s going on after reading this

but if i understand the gist is that framework (which iirc was that modular/repairable laptop) is owned by a lib who is funded by a nazi?

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

owned by a lib who has no problem funding nazis and bad projects, basically it.

People who bought frameworks are now having to contend with their money going to the biggest loser fossbro. Framework is doubling down hard on this using the tried and tested "big tent" strategy of grouping minorities and nazis together.

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 day ago

yea i just read some of his blog entries... yikes

[–] fox@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah shit he's gone and tanked the valuation by proudly associating with a dude so revolting that every other open source weirdo (even the apolitical ones) avoid him

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

Haha, i wish that was true

[–] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm confused as to why they decided hop on the Omarchy bandwagon at all. It's not like DHH needs the money. Cloudflare recently sponsored it too but it's unclear in what capacity. So what's the point of heaping adulation on racist dotfiles? Maybe it's a marketing stunt to market their computers to users who are coming over to Linux because of DHH?

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

His shitty arch "ricer" distro gets a bunch of funding because he is connected to this "epstein's bar" of sorts of cryptofash techbros.

[–] stupid_asshole69@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wow it sure does suck there are so many toxic personalities associated with Wayland derived window managers and distributions.

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Don't worry XLibre has plenty more toxicity. Also this isn't about wayland, it's about shitty CEOs trying to launder in fascism through the trojan horse of perceived progress and openess.

Really, I gotta hand it to RMS being right about these open source goons back when he wrote about them.

[–] stupid_asshole69@hexbear.net 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Is xlibre still the only group/guy carrying the x torch? You’d think people who care about speech would recognize that we need x enough to put up with that stuff if no one else is maintaining it.

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

No don't worry, the X torch is being carried by Freedeskop with the Wayback project which implements a stub compositor via wlroots to host a rootful xwayland server which is designed to be a replacement experience for previous xorg users and the future of X.

The Xlibre guy is just a fraud chud who made X12 which no distribution will ever adopt (X is a security critical package + Xlibre breaks Nvidia drivers and Nvidia is already struggling with wayland).

[–] stupid_asshole69@hexbear.net 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like the xlibre guy is the only one carrying the torch to me. I don’t want or need Wayland, even as a stub.

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 1 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

Refusing solid solutions to problems based on ideological hatred of the tools used is liberalism.

The point of wayback is to allow XOrg to survive and thrive in its own space without clashing heads with wayland.

Xlibre is not carying the torch it is shoving the torch up its ass and telling everyone to feel pity for it.

[–] stupid_asshole69@hexbear.net 1 points 20 hours ago

I don’t have an ideological opposition to Wayland, it’s just not useful to me, too new and unstable to adopt and I have a genuine distrust of its development due to devs consistently saying that it’s not possible to update x to do some particular thing when the reality (after much back and forth) is often that they don’t fucking want to.

Uhh… let me be clear, it’s fine to not want to add certain features or update x especially when you’re essentially working for free (most core xorg/wayland devs are not working for free and are part of the old patronage program wherein their employer essentially pays them to maintain a particular package as part of their job responsibilities or expects their community standing which is based upon their maintainer and developer work to become a hook upon which to hang the company brand), but it’s a big red flag that they won’t just come out and say that, especially after the announcement that they’re leaving behind x because of that exact reason.

To go even further: it would be fine and in keeping with the spirit and history of free, libre and open source software of all kinds if I did have an ideological opposition to Wayland!

[–] calidris@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

That's liberalism in a nutshell

[–] footfaults@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The XLibre thing is hilarious to me because they guy who's behind it spent a lot of time breaking Xorg before forking

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

Chuds were gassing this guy up when his notable credentials was getting chewed thr fuck out by Torvalds in the linux mailing list for spouting anti-vax conspiracies.

[–] ihexx@hexbear.net 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you hate to see it

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago

My "I support immigrants and gay ppl" shirt has people asking questions already answered by my shirt.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is about him being friends with the Ruby on Rails dingus right?

[–] space_comrade@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

What did the RoR guy do?

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

create ruby on rails

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

DHH is a bit of a great replacement guy.

There also was a coup in the Ruby community after RubyCentral lost funding for platforming DHH https://joel.drapper.me/p/rubygems-takeover/

I'm not a Ruby dev so I wasn't all that aware of DHH before that.
