Open source has become a safe harbor for far-right politics, from David Heinemeier Hansson's white-nationalist rhetoric and the Omarchy Foundation's $12 million in patron funding to so-called apolitical projects that treat marginalized contributors as political, and why a united boycott of complicit tech companies is our only way forward.
Anyone else know what’s up with including Framework at the end of the post? That seemed to come out of left field. I checked and nowhere else in the article is it mentioned, so it’s not clear at all what his beef with Framework is.
There was a bit of controversy when Framework promoted Omarchy and when prompted about it they didn’t respond strongly enough about DHH’s views. They also sponsored Hyprland which has their own controversies and it seems many tie the two projects together since it is the compositor that ships with Omarchy.
