@raccoon @frameworkcomputer @theNotFractured it is not the same reason. The knife repair guy refused to repair nazi devotionals. He wouldn't have known if the customers came with a normal kitchen knife and happened to be nazis.
Because the equivalent in terms of Hyprland and Omarchy would be if the software opened a terminal with a spinning Hakenkreuz on every boot, but this isn't the case, the software itself doesn't propagate anything comparable.
If the knife repair guy operated like parts of the free software community the comparison would be as follows:
- store closed until you knock on the door and fill out a form with anything you ever said online filled in
- repair guy refuses service because you made a racist joke 11 years ago
- shares everything you ever said online with all small business in the world and expect them to do the same
I haven't looked into the Hyprland dev. Omarchy devs xenophobic views were shared *on his personal blog* and as far as I looked into it don't appear to endorse anything related to neonazi ideology. As long as there is no proof of him denying capable contributors on account of race there is nothing about his views that affects free software or open hardware in a direct negative fashion. Now compare that to the amount of witch hunters criticizing Framework for their business decisions while using and paying for Microsoft Windows, a product that is factually accumulating profit for a corporation dedicated to imperialist war, genocide, unfreedom of users and workers and fusion with a surveillance deep state. The way free software will eat itself in purity spirals while leaving alone the big fish (even getting money from them often) demonstrates how FAGMAN probably infested it with spies and paid troublemakers and it's working out perfectly.
