So I accidentally triggered an online shitstorm in the process of trying to craft a set of more restrictive LLM usage guidelines for KDE. Sorry about that. :/ I’m going to leave the comments …
As a former donor to KDE I love nothing more than being called mere rabble.
@oblomov@bignose@e8d79 No, they are financially supporting both Omarchy and Hyprland (which is transphobia central), and have made an entire slew of tweets and other media promoting Omarchy. There are some more links in this thread, but that’s not all either
@engideer@oblomov@bignose@e8d79 From what I can tell they never financially sponsored omarchy, but did provide them with hardware and promoted them on twitter.
However, they did sponsor Rails World Conference 2025, which is also by DHH (and happened in september, one month before the omarchy tweets and framework forum thread about them) according to their own sponsorship list.
@freundTech@oblomov@bignose@e8d79
Gifting expensive hardware for free is sponsorship, too. They also had Omarchy material on their website (see below screenshot), but it seems that got taken down, or at least I can’t find it rn
I don’t really feel like splitting hairs about the exact forms of their partnership with nazis is of relevance though; supporting nazis in any way is supporting nazis

They do still sponsor Hyprland.
