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.

      So you do think the great replacement is happening, it just isn’t intentional. About those news…

          Reading a chart and understanding it are different things, a further different thing is understanding what it means in context.

          This is a good book for learning the ins and outs of how to understanding statistical data in general.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Lie_with_Statistics

          It does come at it through the lens of intentionally deceptive practices but It’s a good general introduction as well.

            You’re so convinced that everyone who disagrees with you is some far right racist.

            I don’t even agree with DHH! But he clearly doesn’t have view that are so out there that he needs to be cancelled. If anything the people screeching to ostracize him are more extreme.

            The is exactly like the trans people vs JKR debating. The answer is in the middle, and JKR is definitely too strident in her views but also she isn’t literally Hitler. You don’t need to boycott board game companies because they happen to publish a Harry Potter game. Ffs.

              I don’t think everyone who disagrees with me is a far right racist. I think you are a racist because you believe in the great replacement. Jury’s still out on whether you’re far right but that completely irrelevant cancel culture rant at the end of your comment isn’t helping your case.

                you believe in the great replacement

                I don’t believe there is a conspiracy to replace native Londoners. You’re putting words in my mouth. I do believe that it is happening because census data shows that it is! Do you not?

                I should probably stop replying because you’re just making up things that I have supposedly said (seems to be a theme here!)

                    The great replacement conspiracy is that demographic change is a deliberate plan by “elites”. That’s clearly absurd. It’s happening despite their best efforts to stop it.

                    And when I say “it’s happening”, I mean in London, which is clearly an outlier.
