Both Hyprland (which we’ll just say has an unpleasant history of allowed comments) and Omarchy (DHH… Mostly self explanatory, but go ahead and read his blog and you’ll see exactly the person DHH is. Dogwhistles and all.) were brought up as benefitting from Framework.
Nirav Patel (nrp) (Founder, CEO) replied by saying “its a big tent and everyone is welcome”, which pissed off a lot of people.
Rather than respond in the community forums, nrp went to twitter to say he isn’t bigoted.
Clarification of support was given, that no money went to DHH (kind of a lie here, I’ll get to that), and only a bit to Hyprland. Avoided all discussion of the outsized amount of posts by framework about Omarchy.
Blog post was made by framework/nrp detailing how money was spent. Left out any mention of hardware being sent out, later edited.
blog post shows that Railsworld (DHH was the keynote speaker) received massive amounts of money by comparison to every other event. That includes hardware, Linux firmware, the major DEs, etc - combined. A truly astounding amount compared to every other sponsorship. To date I do not believe this has been addressed.
I don’t know about further updates, at this point I’ve written off framework. If you want open, go MNTRe IMO.
Why does it seem recently every Indian descent CEO/English speaking politician is extremely far right? That pattern plus Framework’s actions already makes it seem like they’re also far right.
Though releasing a desktop was the first warning sign in their case I suppose.
I should clarify - framework releasing a desktop was a sign of enshittification of the company in general, not being far right. Desktops are already highly customizable.
As for the other thing, it’s just a strange pattern that seems to have been emerging. The CEO of Google, CEO of Microsoft, and now Framework.
As for politicians, there’s the UK and India itself as examples.

Crazy racist my guy. I also have no idea what makes you think that releasing a desktop computer makes someone far right.
