Valve, please partner with Framework. I think this could be a great partnership in the future and the whole ecosystem as a whole.

Did Framework ever distance themselves from Omarchy after the whole discussion in October? Otherwise I hope and expect Steam to know better than to align themselves with Framework.

Any additional context for those out of the loop?

DHH is a controversial figure who increasingly comes out as tone deaf and perpetuating reactionary myths. It's not new either.

It really is so sad to see people get sucked into the alt-right pipeline and not even realize it despite it being so obvious from the outside that it's happening. For all his talk on indoctrination it's weird to suddenly have very specific opinions on a bunch of unrelated topics you have no personal involvement in, no expertise in, and tangible connection to. Even if you have feeling about some of these issues in passing no normal person with a dayjob becomes so prolific about all of them at once.

Except, of course, that despite these issues not moving the needle on basically anything in daily life they are all connected as part of a grand conspiracy corrupt society in some nonspecific way and must be eradicated. In a way I really can't blame any individual because there's very little in the way of defenses against it but it's sad to see the cocktail of intelligence, arrogance, and fame mean that no one will ever be successful at pulling him out.
