Personal wall of bs full of fringe leftist commentary and hate.

Dude can't hold himself from insulting anyone he names

I didn't even got to the third paragraph

For context, these are the first three paragraphs of the article. There's no mention of a single name, it's basically the introduction. The third paragraph is the statement that they then are supposed to support with facts. This is standard in writing a document:

"""
Some time ago, I noticed some new organization called FUTO popping up here and there. I’m always interested in seeing new organizations that fund open source popping up, and seeing as they claim several notable projects on their roster, I explored their website with interest and gratitude. I was first confused, and then annoyed by what I found. Confused, because their website is littered with bizzare manifestos,1 and ultimately annoyed because they were playing fast and loose with the term “open source”, using it to describe commercial source-available software.

FUTO eventually clarified their stance on “open source”, first through satire and then somewhat more soberly, perpetuating the self-serving myth that “open source” software can privilege one party over anyone else and still be called open source. I mentally categorized them as problematic but hoped that their donations or grants for genuinely open source projects would do more good than the harm done by this nonsense.

By now I’ve learned better. tl;dr: FUTO is not being honest about their “grant program”, they don’t have permission to pass off these logos or project names as endorsements, and they collaborate with and promote mask-off, self-proclaimed fascists.

Did... Did you read something completely different? What the hell? The only thing remotely hateful in the first three paragraphs is them using the word fascists, right in the end, and you dropped the article before giving the author a chance to support their claim? Are you 5?

Sorry, that was maybe too aggressive, but you might not even reach this text if you drop stuff the moment you read a word you dislike lmao.

Which of the poor innocent people that meany pants Drew Devault insulted, do you take issue with? Lunduke? I've read this article before and while I don't remember all of the callouts, I can't recall seeing anyone I would particularly want to defend from insults.

I was able to read through it and it doesn't seem to be full of opinionated hate I think. Their main criticisms of FUTO seem to be:

• their explicit disregard for the Open Source Initiative while still claiming to support open source
• how a small and quiet one-time donation to a specific contributer earns a large and reputable project a position as a "grant" without their permission (mentioning musl libc as an example)
• Eron Wolf (the founder of FUTO) having a good relationship with and platforming Curtis Yarvin, who, as the author of the article describes, a "mask-off" self-proclaimed fascist. Yarvin believes in an "authoritarian techno-monarchy" needs to replace democracy (yikes), and he also claims that black people are dumber than white people
  • Doing a bit more searching and checking additional sources, yeah, this Yarvin guy really is insane. Half his Wikipedia article is just running down his beliefs, like how he thinks liberal democracy is a "totalitarian Matrix", his defense of slavery and eugenics, and if it wasn't clear enough, he believes WWII only started because Hitler acted in self-defense
• A debate between Yarvin and Rossman was published on the FUTO channel that essentially let Yarvin share his nutty fascist views to a wider audience (esp. with Rossman being a very public figure in the right to repair movement)

The article isn't all negative though. They like that FUTO supports Immich and other projects like it. They also note in an update that FUTO has changed their "grants" page to make the different between large grants and small one time donations, with projects like musl libc now being smaller and lacking a large prominent logo.

Also of note, Rossman has left FUTO, as somebody else has noted. I don't think Rossman is a bad person, I feel like he was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people. That's just my thoughts though.

FUTO is run by a fascist and abuses the spirit of open source.

I'm sorry your feelings were too fragile to get that far, it's actually quite a thorough writeup.
