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.

    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.

      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)

    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

      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.

        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.

          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).

              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.

                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!
