Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

This is asserted in the article, without citation. I'd love to know a source we can verify for this? Haven't seen any verifiable announcement of this about Framework severing ties to DHH, or exactly what that entails.
@bignose @e8d79 I don't think they ever financed Omarchy directly, just Hyprland, and AFAICS it's still there:
https://frame.work/it/en/blog/framework-sponsorships
@oblomov @bignose @e8d79 they allegedly gave some laptops to the millionaire for his scripts. that's like money.
According to Nathan, they told him behind closed doors that they withdrew support to Omarchy.
@bignose @e8d79 All I can find is that Omarchy is neither on the list of recommended distributions nor on the list of sponsorships. Hyprland is still listed as sponsored at 7200€ per year though the list hasn't been updated for a couple of months.
It would be really nice to get an official statement from @frameworkcomputer on this. Their products are excellent and we have multiple FW13 in this household but the way they have been handling this leaves a really bad taste.
@bignose @e8d79 Seems I have missed something. Omarchy *is* on the list of distributions that have received hardware sponsorships: https://frame.work/de/en/linux
@bignose I may be wrong, but I believe that the only direct link between Framework and DHH was them mentioning Omarchy on their social feeds and they stopped doing that.
Also they never financially supported Omarchy or DHH as far as I know. Their sponsorships are here: https://frame.work/blog/framework-sponsorships
You are wrong. Omarchy is still listed on https://frame.work/linux as one of the "distributions" that they give free hardware to, and Nirav's statement that they "don’t partner based on individuals’ or organizations’ beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software" is still available at https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986
You'll also note that Hyprland is on the list of officially sponsored projects, and while I was willing to give that community the benefit of the doubt for a bit, Vaxry was a speaker at Omacon and sponsored by Omacom, proving that I was wrong to do so.
@flowerysong I wonder what the source in the original post was. I can't find it.
@flowerysong Ah, I think it's this: https://pointieststick.com/2026/09/23/kde-and-ai-and-you-and-me/
they did much more than just mention omarchy, and they’re still funding hyprland who are exactly the same types of assholes
