Comment on Framework under fire for Omarchy/DHH/Hyprland support?

Given the amount of publicity they’ve received from all this, I’m inclined to be a bit conspiracy theoretic about this… Did they plan it to unfold exactly like it did?

I dunno, personally I'd rather know about this type of stuff - before this I'd have thought about buying or recommending it - it seems decent enough.
Although, I doubt I'd ever have bought one at those prices so maybe irrelevant.
But this will be enough that even if i do win the premium bonds, I won't get one and I won't recommend anyone else. Some shit does continue to stink.
Any twat who thinks they are "building a wide tent" by tolerating nazis is pretty much a self defeating prophecy, or just a nazi trying to hide it.
I'd just rather the title was clearer - I have no idea what an 'omarchy/dhh/hyprland' is, and I don't see how those words help the headline at all. Though anything with "hh" is immediately suspect - so that gives a cryptic hints what the title might be insinuating.
I think title should just say for 'promoting nazi stuff'. If anyone cares about the details of these obscure projects then they can read more of the article.
Do people feel they have to be crypto-antifascist now? That's a bit of a scary turn of events.

I cannot speak for anyone else, but a year ago I thought that I’d never buy a chinese laptop due to political reasons and here we are one year later and I have a Lenovo.

Well, the point of the article is that the selling point of a framework laptop lies only in its ethical and political nature. Without it, it’s just an overprized computer. So if framework loses its ethical selling point by associating itself with right-wing projects, why shouldn’t people buy a Lenovo laptop with better specs for less money instead?
