[Boosts appreciated] Statement on Frameworks sponsoring of certain FOSS maintainers/projects
I paid a fuckton of money for my @frameworkcomputer laptop parts. I paid extra for the parts I could've saved money on elsewhere because I wanted to support the company and what they stand for. I even ported Debian to the RISC-V Motherboard for the product that made Framework Framework: The Framework 13.
Now Framework decided to sponsor Omarchy and Hyprland, the leaderships of which are not just "politically of a different opinion", they are actively toxic, hostile and highly discriminatory, to phrase it euphemistically.
Nirav Patel responded to this in the community forum, essentially doubling down on the decision to take a "big tent approach".
I want to reiterate: __This isn't about "political differences", because the political difference are actively harmful to democracy itself, and the physical safety of marginalised communities.
Someone I supported in good faith with both code and money turned around and gave this money to multiple people who'd rather see me dead for existing.
Needless to say, I feel quite betrayed and I'm really torn on wether or not I should even continue and proceed with the port for the second RISC-V mainboard, because I don't want to end up supporting the hate towards me, my wife or other people in the same situation as me.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels betrayed by this decision.
Hier erklärt das Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy kindgerecht, warum #Chatkontrolle eine sehr sehr schlechte Idee ist.
Das ist wichtige Arbeit, weil es auch nach drei Jahren „Diskussion“ immer noch Politikerinnen gibt, die es nicht verstanden haben.
EU muss endlich die #ChatkontrolleStoppen!
Anyone who sides with fascists is a fascist, and I don't want their browser near my stuff.
Ladybird will be joining Brave, and will be driven into the maze.
So once again, I say, DHH and the ladybird browser guy are both embarrassing fascist gutter water drinkers who are cringy and whiny as fuck.
"The Free Software Foundation has been sliding into irrelevance more and more by entirely failing to address its big Creepy Uncle problem. Open-Source has turned into a form of unpaid internship to be hired to make shitty apps that bring more surveillance and ads to our world."
Bei vielen Debatten im Bundestag ist es schwer, nicht laut zu schreien. Das erste Baby am Bauch einer Rednerin hat es geschafft, gelassen zu bleiben – und die Aufmerksamkeit zur Abwechslung auf die Familienpolitik gelenkt.

still really impressed about the discovery that the japanese water beetle can survive getting eaten by frogs because it combines its natural tendencies with just straight up walking through the entire digestive system at a brisk jog.
like they just fucking say no thank you and leave. this feels like one of the most insanely powerful adaptations i can imagine a creature having. like nah i can't do anything to stop the voracious predator of my biome from consuming me. Doesn't Mean I Give Up
Seeing that some villains are trying to take the T out of LGBT so trans people get erased and ignored. You know that the word "queer" is right there and it includes all of us perverts and freaks, right? We tried hard to get queer to happen, but the straight folk didn't like it so they call us LGBT, like we're simply a list of approved aberrations. And a lot of us queer folk have submitted to this linguistic oppression. I am sad every time I hear a queer person say "LGBT" or "LGBTQIA+" or whatever, because that's accepting the oppressor's language for us. Queer is a good word because it includes everyone who isn't part of the sexual majority. It is inclusive by default and by definition.
For anyone who thinks "queer" is a slur so they prefer "gay" because it's not a slur, I'll point out that only a couple decades ago "gay" was a slur and we said "homosexual" to be polite. Language evolves. Embrace "queer" and avoid having to figure out what groups deserve to be part of an abbreviation.
well this is a cool project! aims to combine guix, goblins, and hoot to make a yunohost-like application. https://fishinthecalculator.me/fortino.html
Similary, I see people push #Omarchy as if politics were irrelevant.
They are VERY MUCH relevant, and we absolutely should not give people who are "borderline far-right" (I'm not going to write what I want to write, because I can't afford those lawyers, form your own opinion and all that) more influence.
At a stretch, tech might be somewhat neutral.
Who we chose to be in a community with fucking isn't.

Oh, look, it's just Cloudflare, announcing they are supporting a DHH project a week after the fucker once again showed his true colours 😒

Do you mean Omarchy? Nevrer heard of it. Do you have many sources so I can add a note on why I should not touch it?
"Lesbians are responsible for 100% of all space crime" is by far my favorite statistic to date. Just barely edging out "Mars is populated entirely by robots".
„Aus Zahlen der Bundesagentur für Arbeit schlussfolgert das Institut, dass die wegen Totalverweigerung von Jobcentern verhängten Sanktionen zwischen April 2024 und Juni 2025 wohl deutlich weniger als 100 Menschen betrafen.
„Dies ist eine sehr geringe Zahl angesichts von mehr als fünf Mio. Personen, die (..) 2024 (..) zur Gruppe der erwerbsfähigen Leistungsberechtigten gehörten“, heißt es im Bericht des zur Bundesagentur für Arbeit gehörenden Forschungsinstituts.“

Very instructive video, but rather sad to know that it will have hardly any effect on people who are in a feedback-loop of disinformation and propaganda.

🇦🇺 Australia: Intranasal vaccine stops infection at the source.
In 2022, Australian researchers secured nearly $1 million in grants to develop an intranasal COVID-19 vaccine.
Their latest findings show it can block the virus in the nose, preventing it from spreading through the body or to other people.
