It's all a dog whistle for racist. First they came for people not speaking french. Now they come for people not following "Quebec culture"... (that one includes being racist)
Some of the last reasons to stay on Windows have been gaming related. Both the time from installation to in-game and gaming performance on Bazzite are now actually better than Windows on many games, and living room usability is more seamless too.
"Apple removed an app for preserving TikToks, Instagram reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE, 404 Media has learned. The app, called Eyes Up, differs from other banned apps such as ICEBlock which were designed to report sightings of ICE officials in real-time to warn local communities. Eyes Up, meanwhile, was more of an aggregation service pooling together information to preserve evidence in case the material is needed in the future in court.
The news shows that Apple and Google’s crackdown on ICE-spotting apps, which started after pressure from the Department of Justice against Apple, is broader in scope than apps that report sightings of ICE officials. It has also impacted at least one app that was more about creating a historical record of ICE’s activity during its mass deportation effort."
btw it’s not just the lead hyprland dev who’s toxic, it’s the whole community. Go check out the official project discord and you’ll see it’s full of pepe frogs and the vibe of 4chan boys posting the most repugnant shit you’d expect them to, all the way back to the very beginning. That discord is functionally a radicalisation funnel. If you’ve been around the internet long enough you know exactly the vibe as soon as you see it.

Here's the draft of an abstract for a colloquium talk I'm giving at Indiana next month. Suggestions for what I should *call* this talk? I was thinking "It's all just interpreters!" or "Interpreters everywhere!", and then @ganshen suggested "Interpreters: the ultimate abstraction" -- am I audacious enough to call it that?

Look all of us know the type of person vaxry is, he's a buzz lightyear in a toy store. We've all known racists and ''crypto-fascists'' who think they're very clever when they're actually very fucking dumb and easy to catch out if you've met people like this before. There's a reason that they decided to support hyprland and not other compositors. They knew the situation, it's that birds of a feather flock together. and some people in framework do. They're not creating a big tent by financially supporting racists (we all know what these people are about, we've all spoken to them before it's no secret) Where is the financial support for musl? niri? smithay? waydroid? pipewire? all the other fkn libraries and programs that make desktop Linux work and are worked on by a few people with little to no funding? Nope, we'll support the crappy wayland compositor developed by a fascist that has animations as its only selling point☝️
Someone left their bike and helmet unattended outside the Information Technology Faculty building at uni and this little noisy miner bird took advantage of it and built a nest in the helmet. To the delight of all the staff who have been eagerly watching it for the last week or so, Mumma bird has now laid some eggs 😍

This is not about Framework, but every other OSS project that sees the current shape of the ongoing polycrisis and says "yeah, the fascists have a point, actually."
This is not about OSS, but about tech in general being a part of how fascism works in 2025, from DRM to AI.
This is not about tech in the current moment, but about the failure of the tech industry to grapple with IBM's role in the Holocaust.
Tech firms when courting public opinion: "our technology is visionary! It has the power to change society, to improve everyone's life! The impact will be huge and a benefit to everyone!"
Tech firms when they pull this shit: "we just think tech shouldn't be political."
I don’t think #Framework understands that they _are_ a political brand. They don’t have the best products, and they don’t have the cheapest products. They have products that appeal to _political positions_. By trying to keep “politics” out of their decisions, what they’re saying is that the **literal only selling point** of their machines is no longer valid.
It’s incredibly sad to see, because I was a fan of Framework until I saw this atrocious response.
We support open source software (and hardware), and partner with developers and maintainers across the ecosystem. We deliberately create a big tent, because we want open source software to win.

Fedora 43 is expected to be released within weeks. I decided that the late stage of the beta process was a suitable moment to upgrade my server. Several days of debugging and configuration changes ensued, but not due to its being a beta version. The most complex problem was to adjust to the new (backward-incompatible) syntax of the Dovecot 2.4 IMAP configuration. Thanks to participants on the Dovecot mailing list for recognizing one of my errors, I was able to fix the configuration and return my email service to normal. #Fedora #Linux #DovecotIMAP
> The stated cause of [Jordan] Peterson’s ongoing neurological and physical deterioration is SIRS (systemic inflammatory response syndrome) caused by mold exposure. This is apparently the result of decades of living with mold, though it was recently exacerbated by exposure to an especially moldy environment.
What's wrong Jordy not man enough to handle a little mold? Didn't eat enough meat? Why are you so weak and effeminate?
Přemýšlíte o nákladním kole, ale bojíte se složitého ovládání a parkování? Pak je čas zkusit cargo kola typu longtail! Tato chytrá kola s prodlouženou zadní stavbou kombinují obrovskou nosnost s ovladatelností klasického kola. 👉 V čem je jeho výhoda? Oproti cargo kolům s bednou vepředu je lehčí, obratnější a skladnější.
Jízdní pocit je velmi podobný klasickému kolu, takže přechod je snadný i pro začátečníky.
Díky silné konstrukci zvládne velký náklad a zároveň pohodlnou jízdu ve městě.
V rozhovoru Aleš Linhart z Kolomotion vysvětluje, proč právě longtail může být skvělou alternativou k autu a jak může změnit každodenní dopravu ve městě.
Anyone else find it ironic that the IAAP's profile menu is screen-reader inaccessible. Not a good look for a new blind member to encounter right off the bat...
Framework has recently funded Hyprland and promoted a distribution made by DHH (someone commonly mentioned in their Twitter feed too).
Their response to criticism until now has been the following:
We don’t partner based on individuals’ or organizations’ beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software.
I've seen this "neutral" drift enough times to know where it ends, so unless something changes soon, I'm afraid of the community that will stem from this.
We support open source software (and hardware), and partner with developers and maintainers across the ecosystem. We deliberately create a big tent, because we want open source software to win.
I don't want to spend money with a company that has a "big tent" policy and allows people to piss in it. I never want to be in a tent with people pissing in it. OSS does not need it.
Speaking as a German - this 'big tent' approach just doesn't work.
Today is a good day to write to support@frame.work using your shop email address. I will.

It is darkly comedic that misinformation that imperils human life can be forgiven, but not copyright violations. What a world we've made for ourselves. mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1…

This is not a good look, to put it mildly. I really like(d) my framework 13, but got a MacBook last month. Felt kinda sad because using a framework was so much cooler from an idealistic way. Don’t feel as bad anymore now.
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.
