So Framework has been sponsoring various Linux projects for at least a year.
In the summer last year they announced they were sponsoring Omarchy, an Arch Linux distribution tightly run by DHH (creator of Ruby on Rails, owns Basecamp, and a billionaire).
DHH has been known to be politically incorrect with some concerning views. Last summer he wrote a blog post about how London wasn’t the city he remembered because it was full of non-native brits and has been supporting anti-immigrant/alt right politicians.
I do not know more than that, or whether he supports nazis explicitly, but it’s a bad look that has rightfully upset a lot of people.

Edit: They sponsor Rails Conf, which is the rails conference DHH created after he got banned from the original one. HEAVILY outsizing every other event sponsorship.

Oof. Didn’t realize the RoR connection with Omarchy until now.

Thank you, guess I got confused. I agree this sucks.
