The Framework/Omarchy thing

PeerTube
@gbryant I appreciate the attention you are bringing to this situation. Very disappointing of framework to bring attention to this project. Confused by the monarchy references however. Monarchy isn't the particular problem here as far as I can tell, but we do have an issue with a racist, violent fascist one!
@[email protected] I think it's because Trump is trying to assume the powers of an absolute (non-ceremonial) monarch?
@[email protected] well, I was conflating monarchy with fascist so I could make the `omonarchy` joke at the end of the video. Maybe not my strongest pun. lol

@gbryant @alex

lol... you worked hard for that pun! XD

Love the passion you brought in this video.
I think it's important to state (as is said in one the articles you screenshotted), that when DHH says that brits in London are a minority, by the statistics publicly available, it can only mean that he is saying that white brits are a minority, and he is considering all non-white native brits to be non-british, which is... BAD.

Also, I'm usually ticked off enough just by companies using X. FFS, it's owned by a fascist and financed by Russian oligarchs.

Absolutely, Framework chose to promote this particular distro repeatedly, this wasn't random. Also Framework promoted this distro on their Twitter/X account but not on their Mastodon account: was Framework trying to impress the far right idiots that hang out on Twitter/X nowadays?
By the way audio slightly out of sync? If you want to fix it you can upload a new video file without breaking any links or losing any comments at Videos > Update > Advanced Settings > Replace Video File
Glad you put this up here as most of my comments on youtube gets shadowbanned, so this is just a copy/paste from there:

I'm glad you're speaking up about this instead of just sanewashing DHH like so many other content creators are doing, seemingly afraid to "bite the hand that feeds them".
@gbryant let me get this straight: he’s complaining that the brits are getting diluted and that’s why he left? Does… he not realize that he isn’t British, so he would be part of the problem he’s angry about? Anyway thanks, I wasn’t exactly aware of what was going on.
@[email protected] What DHH is complaining about is that they aren't racist enough. Ironically he moved to USA where there's more foreigners but he just like that there's more racism there.
@AlexTheStampede @gbryant He does not, lol. People who think like this will never see themselves as the "immigrant" because to them it doesn't primarily mean "to migrate somewhere", but "not to be the local ethnicity" (whatever the fuck that means in a diverse cities in countries like the UK). He's as white as an uncooked marshmallow, therefore his "home" spawns from Australia over North America and all over western Europe according to his mad mind.
@gbryant
Thank you for speaking up about this issue. It is very important for a number of reasons and it's wonderful to have a sane and understandable video explaining the situation so clearly. Keep doing the good work you do ❤️

@gbryant Nirav's original response on the Framework forum gave it away -- I think at the least he's using Omarchy at home and decided to go ape in using the Framework social account to pimp his new favorite toy.

If he's not doing it to push the politics (like he claims on X), then he needs to grow the fuck up and realize that when you run a company it becomes more than just an extension of yourself -- its your employees and your customers, too.

There is no excuse for such behavior. I don't care whether they do a good software or not.
The comments section on PeerTube is mostly sane.
The Fediverse sometimes looks a lot like Twitter.
@[email protected] That's awfully vague. Say what you mean with your whole chest.
Leftist slop from you, welcome this comment.
@[email protected] what is leftist about this? Go ahead, I'll wait.
His blog is not bad, you are paranoid.
