Six days ago, upgradeable laptop maker Framework tried to convince its fractious user community to live in a “big tent” after a Debian developer objected to the company’s sponsorship of Hyprland and its social media promotion of Omarchy, with both projects associated with politically polarizing viewpoints.
Antoine Beaupré, aka anarcat, demanded that Framework clarify its political position with regard to these two projects.
Hyprland, a Wayland compositor, is led by a “toxic and hateful community,” Beaupré observed, and Omarchy, a Linux distribution, comes from David Heinemeier Hansson (aka DHH), a controversial figure in the Ruby and Linux communities.
The opinion being debated: “is transphobia bad?”
Can you link me to the transphobia? Is it this? https://world.hey.com/dhh/bad-therapy-08849dc9
Yes obviously lol
It’s not obvious to me. Which bit is transphobic exactly?
I’d assume the transphobic part is where DHH goes to bat for Shrier, who is transphobic, and he’s glad that she’s overcome the “censorship mob”. Oh and also the part where he recommends people read said transphobic author’s book.
Do you need to be spoonfed any more? The blog post isn’t that long.
