With the Linux Vendor Firmware Service serving more than 135 million downloads for Linux users updating their system and device firmware, LVFS has been working to get more hardware vendors to contribute either engineering resources or directly contributing annual dues as sponsors. Framework Computer is now the first one to have executed an agreement under these new sponsorship efforts.
Red Hat in employing lead developer Richard Hughes has contributed the most to LVFS/Fwupd’s success, the Linux Foundation has also hosted the project since it has shifted into their umbrella, AMD’s Mario Limonciello is among the significant contributors, and now Framework Computer is a new sponsor to the project.
Why do you use Lemmy, given the politics of its own source creator? Bit hypocritical.

Not to speak for them but bare minimum one is supporting them monetarily, one is free
You’re not directly paying them, but by being here and contributing to the community, you’re providing value to others who would then go on to donate to the devs.
I’m sure I can also find some fascists who work on the linux kernel. As long as I don’t support them directly I am just fine with using linux. But go on, keep moving the goal posts.
There is no “one community” in the traditional sense, in fact many of us are boycotting contributions to their actual community/instance .ml
By contributing activity to comms on other instances and advocating growth on other instances and even advocating alternatives like PieFed, actually dilutes their influence
Lemmy devs aren’t nazis
So transphobia and authoritarianism are totally cool just as long as they don’t wear Hugo Boss?
Who knew.
Maybe not, but they still push authoritarianism and simp for authoritarian regimes like Russia
