Comment on AMD say the Steam Machine is "on track" for an early 2026 release

tl;dr Framework is sponsoring Omarchy, created by DHH, who is a right-wing conspiracy nut. Framework says “Yup, we want to create a big tent.”

frame.work/gb/en/blog/framework-sponsorships show me the sponsorship.
The rabid techno-elitism and boycotting of anything that is in the same air space as some bad actors is completely counter-productive and paradoxically invites more bad actors to invade and take control. To bring up the old nazi bar analogy - you don’t leave the bar to the nazis, you kick them out. But instead what is happening is completely bass-ackwards - perfectly capable tools are being left to the bad actors and giving them a platform to take over.
Don’t leave the tools - instead embrace them, wield them against those who would happily do that against you. Build a strong userbase and drive nuts out until the bad actors have no power and no control. You think we just left the enigma machine to the nazis and said “ew”? You think the resistance just left MP40s on the ground and didn’t wield them against their oppressors? That’s no path to survival.
In a time when the world is burning up and drowning in waste, Framework actually is doing something good for sustainability and repairability; but instead of focusing on dozens of actual sponsorships that contribute to actual good, some people rabidly focus on the one asshole and try to change the narrative and erase any goodwill. Omarchy isn’t even listed on the sponsorship list - AFAIK FW sent him one machine and that’s it. We don’t have the luxury to turn our nose and go somewhere else - this is our bar, fight for it and stop encouraging good patrons from leaving. Because the silence left behind will be happily filled with nazi rhetoric.

Except they’re not kicking these assholes out. Framework are giving them free advertising and even sponsorship money.
Framework claims to be making a “big tent”, but if you do that you need to silently tolerate the shitty actors, not actively support them unprompted

I didn’t say anything about supporting them. The hysteria is unwarranted

You’re clearly intentionally arguing in bad faith if this is your response.
Ta ta, you’re not worth bothering with anymore. Go lie to someone else
