Hardware vendor Framework has now become a KDE Patron, offering financial support to further push open source like the Plasma desktop.

      Agreed, but if they are still giving money to alt-right idiots I’m going to keep them off my “buy” list. I’ll have to see if they are.

      Edit: Looks like they are still giving money to DHH via rails, so I’m glad they are giving money to KDE, but framework still won’t get any more money from me. Hopefully its just old donations and it gets cleared off. Doesn’t look like they’ve been promoting that assholes stuff lately, at least.

        DHH is a millionaire, so I don’t think he cares. He’s also just one of many in the Rails project.

        Instead of Framework, what else can you recommend?

          There’s a whole list of things with DHH with FW, there are plenty of details so I’m not going through the whole thing. I’d also mention we’ve got a pretty obvious problem with millionaires and up with their quest for money currently causing massive problems around the world, so his being a millionaire is not a positive.

          For open hardware? MNT.
