I believe so: https://frame.work/blog/framework-sponsorships

But if so, it is more that they are simply not continuing to make additional contributions in the future. There was no apology for any confusion or anything like that, and they seem to be sticking to their "big tent" philosophy.

Hyprland is still on the list

A former moderator on their official Discord forum made some offensive remarks or something. That soured the entire project for some people for good, I guess.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I've seen screenshots and their comments were pretty disgusting

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

And those comments don't reflect the views of the devs. The mod was the issue

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 7 points 3 months ago

No, plenty came right out of Vaxry.

Last I looked they seemed to be trying to do better though. Way lower on the problematic list than anything DHH touches imo.

[–] lastweakness@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Wait, really? The devs don't share those views?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz -5 points 3 months ago

It really takes nothing for people to become eternal haters.

[–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The creator, Vaxry, made many hateful comments. Mostly on Discord. I'm in the Arch Linux Community discord, which he got banned from a few years ago (I was not there at the time), and his message history there has tons of bad takes.

What is the ethical fork of hyprland?

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes it is. That is what forking is for

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So if you think a code base or project is unethical, forking it fixes the problem?

XLibre comes to mind.

[–] Dr_Del_Fuego@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago

It's either fork and continue the work or start from scratch and hope the pattern doesn't repeat somehow 🤷

They never gave Omarchy money directly from what I'm aware, just gave them shoutouts. Still not okay though

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 21 points 3 months ago

Not quite technically "money directly", but definitely more than just "shoutouts"

We’ve sent out large quantities of hardware to folks at Fedora, Bluefin, Bazzite, NixOS, Arch Linux, Linux Mint, Omarchy, and many other distros, and have sponsored either the organizations directly or events with Linux Foundation, LVFS, NixOS, Debian, KDE, Hyprland, and others.
