'Sumbitch. I KNEW I hated Omarchy, I just couldn’t put my finger on it. I hope Framework pulls their heads out of their asses soon.

Yeah. I really like their hardware but haven’t bought any yet and this has had a big impact on why I’ve hesitated.

I honestly think a no strings grant is different from funding to do a stated task. But I’m not exactly up to speed on if you his was a no strings grant. However that’s what it sounded like, as a way to try to legitimize the fascist funding group.

nope we did not forget. also remember framewoek deciding not to mod the forum post discussing the issue. giving free reign to racists and transphobes inside the post answered all of questions the company wouldnt address out loud. at least they went mask off before i spent money upgrading my framework 13 # ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I actually have not heard a thing about Omarchy since this, despite 2-3 months where people were ravenously obsessed with it, then DHH wrote that viral blog post about how London has too many ~~brown people~~ “non native brits”. It is nice seeing other distros, like the One True Distro: NixOS, getting funded. I didn’t see Omarchy on their branding/supported distros with the new laptop either (they list Fedora, Ubuntu, NixOS, Mint, and Bazzite). https://frame.work/ca/en/linux They do still list Omarchy on their hardware seeded distros. (Why they needed to seed hardware to a billionaire who already owns their hardware and forced his whole company to use it I do not know. Also, Omarchy isn’t so much a distro as a pile of shell scripts and justfiles). https://frame.work/ca/en/blog/framework-sponsorships Omarchy doesn’t appear on their list of sponsorships. Edit: Rails World is on their sponsorships and is run by DHH also. That's arguably _less_ a linux thing.
