Framework listens to their audience so much that they send another pre-release laptop to DHH.

Ok, I appreciate your convo on this with me. I'm trying to understand people better, hella autistic over here.

He's the only dev of any consequence, yes. I really wish the Omarchy project would die, it's pretty much trash. What I do want to study is why it's able to explode in popularity - what, cause it ships with a pretty hyprland theme? There's a manjaro version that ships with hyprland, never got the content creator run. I don't get it.

@alatiera fuck. @frameworkcomputer care to comment? Is DHH really someone you wish to be associated with?

[alatiera@mastodon.social]

Their promo post for the laptop was "We heard you".

I wish I had seen this sooner, you can't make this up. The jokes write themselves.

@alatiera I wish I could say I was surprised....

[cow@soc.cow.computer]

@alatiera I am very disappointed. I thought they learned their lesson after they stopped glazing the Omarchy "linux distro" on X and returned to mastodon. I honestly feel like something weird is going on at framework, like they usually listen to the community but with this one thing they don't seem to ever really listen. A lot of their employees aren't white, including the CEO yet they still haven't reconsidered. I'm honestly starting to wonder if money is involved in some way as this seems ridiculous. I don't get why otherwise they would think this pile of bash scripts made by a known racist is worth sacrificing their brand image for. I don't see Framework Computer listed as a sponsor on DHH's conference (rails world) yet but I wouldn't be surprised if they return, even after all the backlash.

@alatiera genuine question: what's so nazi about it? Why even call it that way?

I don't get it. I'm genuinely infinitely curious.

[thaodan@mastodon.social]

@reflex @smilingdemon @soapdog @alatiera Why not send it to the Arch Linux developers instead? The developers that this Nazi benefits of.

[reflex@retrogaming.social]

@thaodan @smilingdemon @soapdog @alatiera Literally this. If they wanted to support projects, send it to Arch, not Omarchy.

[shakil_tcs@mathstodon.xyz]

@alatiera Seems like someone from DHH's company - may be DHH himself - has written drivers for those intel panther lake.

@alatiera hey @frameworkcomputer to make one misstep may be okay, but why do you continue doing that? It severely hurts your image, business and no it's not "just a big tend".
