In bizarre move, Framework embraces deeply extremist views - Technology - Fedia

>The questionable views we’re talking about here are… Let’s just say we’re not talking about milquetoast stuff like “we should be a bit stricter with immigration” or “lower taxes on the rich”, but views that are far, far outside of the mainstream in most places in the world.

I think there’s also an issue that many people got radicalized through internet rabbitholes and the like in recent years.

It’s a matter of which tendencies get reinforced and what biased information you’re being fed.

Feeling special is another human need that groups often fulfill. Humans crave direction and purpose, and most groups provide both.

Don’t be so hasty in believing a single source which is written as a hateful rant without linking to sources or directly citing what was said (written). Here is the discussion in the framework forums: https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986
Framework supporting far-right racists?

Hi, I am not exactly sure how best to frame this, but recent events have got me wondering where exactly Framework, as a company, stands with regards to human rights and equality. If I understand correctly (and please do correct me if I am wrong), it seems like Framework has started sponsoring Hyprland: So I presume this is fact: Framework, as a company, has decided to sponsor a Wayland compositor who is well known to be led as a rather “toxic and hateful community”. Separately, but on the ...
