  • All the CEO needed to say after funding that fascist was:

    Oops, sorry. I didn’t check out that developer’s history before funding his project. It won’t happen again. I promise going forwards that we’ll google people’s names first before sending them any money.

    They didn’t have to make a big deal about it, even a simple quickly forgotten post on their personal social media account would have been enough.

    People still ask him about it, and he’ll talk about anything else.

    But he won’t give a simple apology.

    His silence is deafening.


    Better to just go for the EU version of framework without the fascism: https://novacustom.com/


    Edit: Changed “All the CEO had to say” to “All the CEO needed to say” to avoid confusion.


  • It’s Phoronix, the articles are good but the comments on every article are unbearable.

    It’s basically a meme at this point.

    There’s a bunch of people in the forum with poor awareness and emotional control throwing tantrums, typically over any project with a code of conduct (even something as simple as “Don’t be an asshole”) because they believe it infringes on their right to be inconsiderate.

    New projects want to avoid the drama and issues of projects from decades past, so naturally they add codes of conduct which causes those folks above to have hissyfits everywhere about those projects anytime they or something adjacent to them is mentioned.

    Most places warn then kick those users out, and then there’s Phoronix.
