Does anyone know what's going on at Framework?

One of my friends mentioned Omarchy is great but he said to not use it cause of it's creator and I only just stumbled onto this trashfire just today.

I took a look at Omarchy after a user posted a pretty knowledgeable teardown of it. Stay very far away.

all the fascist bullshit aside, this is a project from a dude that was a decades long apple fanboy and discovered linux like yesterday has zero clue on how to do things well because he's a Maverick Trailblazer and what do the little people know this is the way and whatnot so I guess yeah we is back at the fascist thing and yeah stay away.

seemingly no one at Framework (Computer Inc.) or Cloudflare appears to have properly vetted the project they’re directing attention (and sometimes financial support) to.

Sadly, being good at politics makes one more "successful", faster, as compared to being good at actual work.

Not sure how good he is at politics though, but that seems to be the case here.


I haven't read Hansson's blogs, but Brodie's video on Omarchy was good enough to show me that I didn't want it at all.
