@jef @cstross When the katamari everts its ovipositor, it's all over.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

Software is a collection of ideas and decisions that a person has turned into a machine.

When it turns out that person has repulsive, noxious and dehumanizing ideas, it is entirely reasonable to not want the machines they've made in your life, or the decisions they've made affecting your life.

It is entirely reasonable to object to their being part of communities you care about, and to object to their ideas and decisions being normalized or valorized.

Nothing about this is complicated.

having read the actual discussion thread, Framework have made their decision, and I believe they are who they are saying they are. Purchase accordingly.

Oh wow, the @frameworkcomputer team's reply to them supporting far-right racists is terrible: https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986/2.

I don't want to spend money with a company that has a "big tent" policy and allows people to piss in it. I never want to be in a tent with people pissing in it. OSS does not need it.

Speaking as a German - this 'big tent' approach just doesn't work.

Today is a good day to write to support@frame.work using your shop email address. I will.

@alanc I doubt anybody is looking at those strings to decide what system is in use. 99% of UAs are from whatever someone cut-and-pasted into some primordial web-scraper code a decade ago and never changed. There are surely way more bots claiming to be Solaris than actual Solaris.

Would someone smarter than me mind repackaging the ICEblock app as "AntifaBlock" and seeing if Apple refuses it?

gosh i wonder if this is where the Red Hat employees pushing for Fedora to accept vibe coded slop is coming from

"authorities recently arrested the girlfriend of the founder of Antifa in Portland"

The other day at the club I saw a guy with a white t-shirt that said simply, in 8" high letters, "YEAH BRAH".

So now I guess I know what my knuckle tattoos are going to be.

I now assume that the avalanche of "journalism" "covering" Amazon "deals" on "Prime Days" is almost entirely a revenue generator for the "news" organizations, via commission links.

I canceled Amazon Prime. Consider doing the same.

@nucholab Please don't ever link to that. I beg of you, don't. Nothing good can come of it.

@glyph I *wish* more people would make my blog posts redundant. I'd much rather be over here going "Yeahhhhh boyyyyyy, tell 'em about it, hit 'em where it hurts" than having to write it myself.

/9 And you think ANTIFA is a progressive employer? Please. The health insurance sucks. There's no dental. And when I asked for compassionate leave for a relative's funeral HR said "the family serves as a pillar for bourgeois ideology, half-day only"

@jplebreton Having read these posts out of order, my guess was that this list of logos was the set of "valued advertising partners" that some online shop was selling your info to.
