It is OK to separate yourself from a group when you deeply disagree with their actions, no matter how insignificant it might seem to a different group of people. However, I am glad this happened. New Linux Ambassadors will step up and this issue will be buried into the alternative social media communities such as Mastodon, never to be heard of again. I disagree that Framework will lose a meaningful amount of business…

1. Fascists should be fought everywhere and all the time so their ideas never get normalized. 2. Everything we do is political, tech is VERY political, stop daydreaming. A tolerant society cannot tolerate intolerance lest it gets destroyed by it.

I really hope Framework ignores these people. They are not Linux Ambassadors, they are political activists. These people only care about their ideology and anyone who doesn't blindly follow it gets defamed. I, and I would imagine many, are tired of this sort of binary thinking. You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. Society can't function like this.

Society can't function when people aren't allowed to make their own choices. Why can't they choose political activism? What on earth binds them to a corporate entity and over-rides their agency? If you want to step up and be an Ambassador, go for it! But if you think they should be compelled to do so, that's an ideological/political point of view of yours and you need to substantiate it.

> blinded by the Western patriarchal narrative that technology in itself is not political I have no idea what this was supposed to mean.

Let me break it down for you: Western: of or pertaining to the part of the world where the dominant culture is European (most of it colonized) Patriarchal: of or pertaining to male-dominated society Narrative: a story we tell ourselves to impart meaning to the world Technology in itself is not political: the false (see "narrative" above) idea that technology is politically "neutral" and that the mere existence or use…
