TL;DR: Framework is sponsoring Omarchy and Hyprland. Omarchy, at least, is really linked to far-righter DHH; cannot find nearly as much about Hyprland on a quick search besides “toxic”.
Going to be an interesting thread to follow as someone who wants a Framework for the repairability. And friends recommending it; and honestly in a world where social media is probably flooded with astroturfed comments instead of real experience, and review sites are ones I highly doubt actually touched or bothered with the products, I am gonna trust word of mouth. But I can be convinced into reconsidering (price, performance I can get out of a laptop, and the Hyperland/Omarchy thing).
I’d love if you posted it here :)

Hey, I missed that caveat, thank you for pointing it out!
Oh yeah, you are absolutely right, that is another thing that bothers me. (Obviously I still believe listening to minority voices is important.) Me bringing that up is specifically directed at the type of person who might dismiss opinions from people because they are white males, especially if the opinion is about not liking the way majority demographics sometimes get spoken about. It is me saying to that type of person that they cannot dismiss my position of disliking punching up at demographics by going “of course you’d say that, you are the demographic being punched up at!” I am from the non-male, non-white demographics that they are trying to empower with this “lol white man bad” stuff.
And yes, fully aware speaking ≠ the many harms that went way past speaking done to minorities in the past. But also this kind of stuff is what I think contributes to some more people being funneled towards alt right perspectives. “Yes, white men bad is a hypocritical stance” video -> more “silly stupid liberals” videos (whether they do actually point out legit problems with social justice or not) down into “The world is actually completely stacked against white men, who are just better than the other demographics which is why women are only good for breeding and men of color are too stupid for anything besides manual labor. Structural/systemic oppression, biases, and other genders don’t exist, that’s woke DEI nonsense. Also, the stupid liberals telling you otherwise are also telling you lies that vaccines work and climate change is happening.”
I’d rather focus more on the people pushing AI or consuming it uncritically (which does include Baby Boomers, yes, but also people all over the age spectrum), and less on age groups we are unable to get out of.
a bit disheartening that people are doing the generation wars, most of the Baby Boomers I talk to give a shit about the looming climate apocalypse and are concerned about AI; god I hope that if people in my generation do bad things people aren’t inclined to dismiss me on sight as “stupid [andioop’s generational cohort]” especially since there is nothing I can do to change when I was born and thus what generational group I’m placed in. Wasn’t there a whole thing about not making assumptions of people based on demographics we cannot choose? Blame people for choosing the Nazi party, but not for their skin color or gender or sexuality. Why doesn’t that extend to age? Why are all elderly people lumped in with the bad ones at the top? Or is it just “a demographic you choose is okay to bash if positions of power are primarily composed of its members, no matter how many decent people who do not have that level of power share that demographic”? I think a lot of people are doing that and it rubs me super wrong, as a person whose demographics are not traditionally empowered so my perspective cannot just be dismissed as “fragile white male tears” because I am not a white male

one heartbroken anti-AI human who loves em dashes replying ☹️ we’re split into two classes: the type who abandons our typing habits to avoid being told our human efforts are definitely AI, and the type who stubbornly carries on using em dashes
In real life I either say “Ess-cue-ehl” (spelling it out), or I say “sqwool,” “sq” as in squirrel and “wool” like sheep wool

was the comma a typo of a period, or did you have more to say here? if you have more to say i’m eager to listen
I did just remember more from English class: Verbal irony, a type of irony, fits the colloquial definition of sarcasm (“oh, just great” when something upsetting happens). (According to https://literarydevices.net/verbal-irony/ sarcasm is verbal irony used to mock or insult. Don’t 100% remember what they said about sarcasm vs verbal irony in English class.) The irony being talked about here is situational irony. It seems people colloquially use “irony” for “situational irony” and get upset when it gets used to refer to the sarcastic type of “verbal irony”
Hi, American checking in. I was taught in English class in high school that irony is an ambulance running people over, not just sarcasm. I do agree that colloquially (and I am probably guilty of it too) we Americans use the word “irony” to talk about things being presented in a non-genuine and earnest manner, to talk about sarcasm and snark and parody.
Hey, thank you so much for helping me! Now I have a better idea of my options and what wants are viable and which are not.
