Just saw this on Mastodon. They locked the thread in question... that's very disheartening. Terrible really. These people are either ignorant or complicit. Perhaps both. In any case, let's spread the word and drive them out of business.

I have a fw13 and was waiting to get a fw12. I don't think I can continue to support fw if they're fine with conducting business with far right extremists.
I remember the scandal around hyprland and it was pretty bad - much worse than one or two fascists contributing.
Even so I could forgive distros still having hyprland in their repos.
But giving money to the project itself? No.
Where are we with hyprland these days? How has the shitshow continued sice 2023?
Oh and btw, in what capacity is Framework supporting hyprland? Is there a Framework distro?
Tbf I don't know much about the Hyprland history. The point raised by the OP on the forum links to tweets by both framework and Hyprland accounts saying framework became a "gold tier sponsor" of hyprland. It's fair to assume that involves a donation.

Hold the phone, since when were Hyprland devs like this?
For a while, but only people that closely follow Linux news would know about it.
I am appreciating many of the replies pillorying the "big tent" response, but what an obvious non-answer to a very real problem. It all smacks of Framework being cool with giving money to far-right provocateurs, and a well off shitheel at that.
I'm eager to see their response (and actions taken).
It doesn't seem at all they supported toxic behavior directly for that, to advance the toxicity, just several projects.
Maybe they'll clarify their stance.
They are a tiny corp, they don't/can't PR immediately.
They should just support niri & cachy
Wait frameworl k aka the laptop ppl?
Why can't we have nice things......

Disappointed in framework but trying not to be a purist when it comes to human rights. Right to repair is a human right too and framework is doing good work on that front. I think they’ll realize their mistakes as the figures they let into their “big tent” keep showing their true colors.
