In bizarre move, Framework embraces deeply extremist views

Framework, the maker of repairable laptops, is embroiled in a controversy, as the company and its CEO are openly supporting people with, well, questionable views.

If you know a little bit about PR in social media space, you might note that, right out of the gate, a project by a vocal white nationalist known for spli

@ariadne I think it's not just about getting replacement parts quickly and easily, but the durability of the parts matter too. Having to buy replacement parts should be a last resort, not something you'd do daily. Daily, laptops should last on many situations without breaking. My current laptop is a HP laptop from 2011, and so far I never had to replace a single thing on it. I miss that kind of durability in newer laptops however..

I'm not saying being able to get replacement parts quickly isn't important, but it shouldn't be the kind of thing you do every week either.

I was recently looking at Framework for a new x86 laptop, as I believed the company to be reasonably aligned with my values (e.g. pro-repair, pro-FOSS, pro-humanity). But others have warned me that they are now supporting Hyprland, Omarchy, etc. They support these projects led by people who hold alt-right views, in the name of building a “big tent” coalition.

The problem, however, is that building a “big tent” coalition, by design, requires some form of value alignment.

Alpine is a “big tent”, for example, but people who want to harm members of our community aren’t welcome.

This isn’t hard.

Needless to say, I won’t be buying a Framework laptop anytime soon, which makes me sad.

@libreleah @interpipes @krans @neil As far as I know, about 70% of the money goes to google and only the remaining goes to the author (or in the case of some bogus ContentID flagging, which actually happens a lot more than you might think, all the money goes to google)

Leah Rowe ist kein Roweboter

I feel like randomly promoting a really amazing Free Software project:

https://invidious.io/

Yes. Invidious is a self-hosted YouTube frontend. It provides a web interface for you to search/watch YouTube videos.

You can run it yourself, or use a public instance.

I installed *my own* private instance, on my network. It's working great.

Your browser won't run all the YouTube bloat. Invidious still has to run Youtube's challenge.

Really, really great project. Way better than YouTube Premium.

I know this might sound controversial1, but you know what's a bigger tent than a tent that lets nazis in?

A tent without nazis.


  1. If you think this is controversial, please let me know, so I can block you. Thanks. ↩︎

DHH stuff, basically non exhaustice list of some stuff he said, multiple phobias, lots of politics, viewer discretion is advised
Show content

I see Omarchy being called a “racist distro” because of it being DHH’s project, which is valid, but I would like to point out that DHH is not ONLY a racist, here’s a list of things that DHH also believes (not fully exhaustive), with links to blogposts where he mentions this stuff:
https://world.hey.com/dhh/bad-therapy-08849dc9

  • diagnosing children with mental disorders is bad
  • this is “the worst time to live in america” because he has to deal with annoying parents (it would be funny if he didn’t mean it 100% seriously, it’s not rly that controversial here I just added cus sounds funny)
  • trauma is basically made up
  • Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria (not said directly, but basically shilled a book that was promoting this view and said its valid)

https://world.hey.com/dhh/calling-someone-a-nazi-is-a-permission-slip-for-violence-4bfbbb82

  • “The last loonies on tech’s woke island are getting desperate.”
  • Left is calling everyone a nazi
  • Blaming previous point for murder of Charlie Kirk

https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64

  • Here’s basically most his racist stuff
  • Imigrants are rapists
  • Waaaa living in a city with non natives feels very alienating because there’s different people here now

https://world.hey.com/dhh/the-beauty-of-ideals-b3dccf72

  • Fat people bad
  • Beauty ideals good

https://world.hey.com/dhh/the-parental-dead-end-of-consent-morality-e4e8a8ee

  • People that don’t want children are bad
  • Consenting adults doing what they want is bad (huh, I thought that you like freedom)

I am not reading anymore of his stuff.
He also wrote stuff about capitalism, how executives making more money while working less than their workers is good, etc.

I can agree with some points (that are not on this list, I included just the stuff that I deemed relevant here), like him saying that arresting people for words is bad (tho he rly misinterprets what words are being said in those cases), but most of stuff he says is just… well it’s just DHH for you.
