I honestly think a no strings grant is different from funding to do a stated task.
But I’m not exactly up to speed on if this was a no strings grant from fascists. However that’s what it sounded like, as a way to try to legitimize the fascist funding group.
I would prefer no fascist money go into my products, but I guess that’s my line.
Unless I’m misremembering, please correct me if framework was funding fascists
So Framework has been sponsoring various Linux projects for at least a year.
In the summer last year they announced they were sponsoring Omarchy, an Arch Linux distribution tightly run by DHH (creator of Ruby on Rails, owns Basecamp, and a billionaire).
DHH has been known to be politically incorrect with some concerning views. Last summer he wrote a blog post about how London wasn’t the city he remembered because it was full of non-native brits and has been supporting anti-immigrant/alt right politicians.
I do not know more than that, or whether he supports nazis explicitly, but it’s a bad look that has rightfully upset a lot of people.
Edit: They sponsor Rails Conf, which is the rails conference DHH created after he got banned from the original one.

Thank you, guess I got confused.
I agree this sucks.
Oof. Didn’t realize the RoR connection with Omarchy until now.
HEAVILY outsizing every other event sponsorship.
But rails isn’t even a linux thing???
Aaaand there’s the problem with FW.
Edit: Iirc, it was more than all Linux event sponsorships combined.
