In case you haven’t heard the news, Framework went and publicly sponsored Hyprland (the most toxic part of Wayland by a country mile) and openly shilled Omarchy multiple times (the pet project of fascist shithead David Heinemeier Hansson) recently.
In response to well-justified backlash against this, founder Nirav Patel responded with FOSSbro platitudes about “[creating] a big tent" for open source”.
If you’ve got any more updates on this self-inflicted shitshow, put them here so they can be collected in one place.
(In retrospect, that AI-pilled Framework Desktop should’ve been a major red flag they were gonna pull this shit.)
EDIT (2): Found a solid summary of the situation, and a solid teardown of Nirav’s actions - recommend checking them out.
I have been seeing this on multiple sites nowadays and I don’t get it: why do some ogs put their domain in a ref parameter for all outgoung links? like this is the hitching their wagon link: https://x.com/FrameworkPuter/status/1975388063070363974?ref=gardinerbryant.com
why does the blog need to share with twitter that I’m coming from this blog?
what’s more funny is that I believe this parameter is only useful to track some privacy hardened firefox users, as mosy browsers just send this info in a HTTP header…
