KDE e.V. has [verified] that Framework had severed their (already very limited) ties with DHH and Omarchy. I’d love to know a source we can verify for this? Haven’t seen any verifiable announcement of this severing of ties.

Update on the KDE situation: Nate has since closed the comments on his blog, and the one discussion thread on KDE Discuss about the AI Policy was closed suddenly without explanation after a KDE developer began to discuss the ethics of AI use. Nate then responded after the thread was closed with this: So as far as I can tell, the developers involved in proposing the AI policy do not want any discussion about AI ethics on their platforms.

I signed the KDE For People open letter, am the third name on it in fact, and pointed the person who wrote it to the domain name it uses because I checked and it was cheap enough for her to afford it. I take pretty great offense at being labeled a “brigader” and take even more offense at that only quietly being walked back after enough people had said he’s using the word wrong for it to somehow stick. I also got to become a member of the “blocked by KDE club” on my Wafrn account because I guess pointing out that they are doing the thing they claimed they’re not doing is a badness. I didn’t leave KDE. They burned that bridge for me.
