Pol Dellaiera@kde @frameworkcomputer Link is 404 ! Correct link is https://ev.kde.org/2026/03/27/framework-becomes-kde-patron/
Framework Becomes a KDE Patron
Framework supports free open-source software and becomes KDE's latest patron! Framework manufactures and sells modular computers that are easy to maintain, repair and upgrade. By sponsoring FLOSS projects like KDE, Framework further confirms their commitment to to putting users in control of their machines.

Sorry! Corrected.

@kde @frameworkcomputer Wouldn't take money from them after what they pulled. Honestly.

Scarlov@catraxx @kde @frameworkcomputer
Who did what? I feel like I'm of the loop on this...
Maya@Scarlov @catraxx @kde @frameworkcomputer Framework heavily promoted the work of a well-known Neonazi (DHH) and didn't back down when it was brought to their attention. I can search out a few links for you tomorrow or so. I believe they also promoted another fascist apart from DHH but can't remember
Benjamin@engideer @Scarlov @catraxx @kde @frameworkcomputer And many of us in this thread are using a platform powered by Ruby on Rails, have GitHub accounts are using CloudFlare as our DNS provider.
Everything is tainted. Can't support KDE because of their sponsorship from Framework, who we can't support for their sponsorship of Omarchy. Apple/Microsoft/Google/HP sponsors fascists so no Android, no iOS. We're all in the nazi bar.
[ Insert The Good Place "Why the point system is broken" scene ]
@BenjaminNelan @Scarlov @catraxx @kde @frameworkcomputer Yes, because big tech is evil, that means we should give full-throated support to Neonazis and fascist ideology, because nuance is dead apparently.
Get out of my mentions with your tone deaf culture war shit

Maria “indigoviolet” Ivy@kde @frameworkcomputer I’d be asking more questions if I were y’all
Kat S@kde @frameworkcomputer Oh dear.
Christian Yoga 
@kde @frameworkcomputer Nice, been wanting Framework laptop for a while as well :))
pingter@kde @frameworkcomputer Welcome to the Nazi bar I suppose...

Why are you taking money from Framework after they cuddled with a open racist?

Azarilhⓥ@Papaexmatrikulatus I'd take the money too, it's for everyone in the company. The important is that KDE doesn't give money to Framework.
@Azarilh
Would you really associate yourself with them in any way, tho? For me, KDE is sending a signal that they don't really care about who they are associating with. Even if Frameworks opts for an "open tend" with people, who don't want to see non-white people in Britain (DHH). This is worrying.

@Papaexmatrikulatus What about Google being a patron of KDE?
@Papaexmatrikulatus I wonder why Google even cares to give them money... Do they use their tools or something???
@Azarilh Maybe. Or maybe Google just wants to extend their tentacles in every conceivable direction. I don't know.
@kde Why are y'all upset Framework started giving money to KDE when Google has been giving money to KDE for years by now?
dallo@kde @frameworkcomputer what is your stand on nazism?
zbrown@kde @frameworkcomputer did they stop being fascists yet tho?
Glad to hear it if they did, I've just not seen/heard anything to that effect.
Áron@kde @frameworkcomputer gotta appreciate KDE being above ideologies and dramas!
@kde @frameworkcomputer I don't like the guy myself for many reasons and Framework response is whatever, but it's not enough to burn bridges. The world is complex, can't please everyone 🤷🏻
@gjerma @kde @frameworkcomputer I don't quite understand... If taint spread that fast we were all born tainted. Lets just say framework screwed up last year and are doing better this year. Although they could do something about offended communities, supporting KDE seems much better aligned with what "big tent" means to me than supporting haters.
Hyperbolix Prudens 🎹🖌️⌨️@kde @frameworkcomputer Oh look, the Linus Sebastian Notebook company with a large brown stain on their shirt tries to cleanwash themseves by sponsoring a not so nazi infested open source project. What could possibly go wrong?
Ramses Revengeday 
So, what’s it actually like to get a blowjob from Nazis ( @frameworkcomputer )?
João Tiago Rebelo (NAFO J-121)@revengeday it's a nice way to put a framework in place for me to stop supporting @kde . It worked instantly. @frameworkcomputer

.ｂｅｅｊａｙ@revengeday @kde @frameworkcomputer I guess the same like from anybody else. I‘d still enjoy it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@beejay @revengeday @kde @frameworkcomputer Are y'all going to fall for this divide and conquer bullshit drama? Maybe foss is starting to hurt big players and they found how to divert us from our goal?
@astareth @revengeday @kde @frameworkcomputer I‘m definitely not. I still like KDE, I still like Framework (even though I don’t own any of their products) and even Omarchy can do what it wants to. These are good products, i respect their development and I really don’t care about their politics. Or what people want to talk others into.
Justin@kde @frameworkcomputer very disappointed. I've stopped my recurring donation to KDE.
