  I’m not putting words in their mouth.

  I’m taking their previous words and current list at face value. Dont accuse me of doing something I’m not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework becomes a KDE Patron helping to fund open source⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Thats your interpretation. Considering nrp’s big tent comments, I am not going to be so generous in my interpretation.

  Current year, current list, I currently expect it to continue for this years rails world.

  Its linked to 2025 because 2026, as of now, doesnt exist.

  Until there is an explicit statement to the contrary, I will assume they are continuing as they were. I don’t know how to make this any more clear to you, so I’ll leave it at that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework becomes a KDE Patron helping to fund open source⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  And until they clarify, I will continue to assume its a current list. The ball isnt in my court to make it clear they have stopped supporting racist shitheads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework becomes a KDE Patron helping to fund open source⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Its in the list in the 2026 blog post. Since there are no dates in the columns, to me that shows as “this year’s list of assigned donations”.

  Because:

  You can see our full set of our sponsorships in the table below. As always, let us know of any other organizations you believe we should sponsor!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework becomes a KDE Patron helping to fund open source⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Railsworld sponsorship, which is still massively outsizing most other support. What I don’t see is any more of the constant posts about Omarchy, which is a net improvemen but still not at the spot I personally want to see.

  There’s a whole list of things with DHH with FW, there are plenty of details so I’m not going through the whole thing.

  For open hardware? MNT.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework becomes a KDE Patron helping to fund open source⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, but if they are still giving money to alt-right idiots I’m going to keep them off my “buy” list. I’ll have to see if they are.

  Anything important enough to be secured you probably dont want to involve a magnet for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why won’t Steam Machine support HDMI 2.1? Digging in on the display standard drama.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly that.

  Its mostly common on commercial devices still, but it is defined.

  https://www.usb.org/document-library/usb-type-cr-locking-connector-specification

  As an example:

  https://www.startech.com/en-us/cables/usb31ccslkv1m

  Though again, a lot of this could be mitigated with a loop, strain relief, and inserting from above into a port rather than letting gravity pull it down. But it would be nice to see side screw locks be more common with usb-c.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why won’t Steam Machine support HDMI 2.1? Digging in on the display standard drama.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To mention, this is also a problem with HDMI (but not DP).

  But just have the usb-c insert top down instead of bottom up, include room for a small loop and cable retention to ensure slack doesnt put pressure on the port. This easily allows for fixed connections with usb-c.

  There are also side-screw locking connectors for usb-c. With HDMI, a top-screw option was made for more fixed install scenarios. That design is ugly af and uses a massive amount more room than the usb-c screw lock approach.

  … I had one.

  I played top gun with it. A lot.

  New to Linux > No > Do you value your mental health and sanity > No > Arch Debian.

  In fairness to me, I mostly run old hardware and don’t give a shit about anything flashy. Arch is my 2nd favorite for desktop use though.

  Welcome to my plan! Ive got a good chunk of change set aside for some tiny/mini/micro to add to the others.

  Also looking to pick up some ’new’ laptops for me and the kids.

  Much more simple: don’t use Meta anything.
