Six days ago, upgradeable laptop maker Framework tried to convince its fractious user community to live in a “big tent” after a Debian developer objected to the company’s sponsorship of Hyprland and its social media promotion of Omarchy, with both projects associated with politically polarizing viewpoints.

Antoine Beaupré, aka anarcat, demanded that Framework clarify its political position with regard to these two projects.

Hyprland, a Wayland compositor, is led by a “toxic and hateful community,” Beaupré observed, and Omarchy, a Linux distribution, comes from David Heinemeier Hansson (aka DHH), a controversial figure in the Ruby and Linux communities.

    The worst I could find is that he thinks it would be better if London was predominantly native British, which I don’t think is an out-there idea.

    If that doesn’t sound racist to you, I have bad news for you.

      No I don’t think it’s racist to want to live in a city that is predominantly occupied by similar people to you. I think his stats are wrong - London is still mostly British people (at least it was when I last went). But imagine if it was like 95% Indian people. That would a huge change and a big cultural shift and yes I think it’s ok to object to that with instantly becoming racist.

          Yeah because the native population of Britain is 97% white.

          I bet people in Spain where British people all retire (or did until Brexit) have exactly the same complaints about cultural change and I don’t think they’re racist against British people.
