"The tent is being made smaller. To stay in the tent going forward you will increasingly be forced to agree with David. I’ve been involved with Ruby for seventeen years: why am I the one being pushed out in order to make space for toxic and abusive dudes?"

"A morbid side-effect of his condition is that his body is still alive, walking around, delivering keynote addresses at confs and screeds on social media. Yet he exists only as a macabre meat puppet, his sinews pulled taught, controlled entirely by the brain parasite he contracted from a WhatsApp group chat. This state of affairs is upsetting, and confusing, but it bears repeating: the man we knew and loved as dhh is gone.
"All that remains today is an unsettling creature better known to us as David Hamburger Helper.
"“Whoa!”, I can hear some of you say. “Offside, that’s not cool. That’s an ad hominem, and very immature of you. What do you have against a mixture of dried carbohydrates and powdered seasonings?”
"I hear you, and I ask for your forgiveness and your patience."

Every time I hear anything about DHH these days I feel I have to apologise for inviting him to Small Is Beautiful in 2021.
https://small-tech.org/small-is-beautiful/07/
I’m sorry, I didn’t know he was a dollar-store Elon Musk at the time.
What can I say? He duped me with his “small tech” talk, making me think we were talking about the same thing. Which, clearly, we weren’t, because Small Tech is all about inclusivity and a non-colonial approach to designing and developing human-scale technology:
“Small Tech is political through and through. It stands with both middle fingers raised high against Big Tech and capitalism. It’s proudly progressive. Small Tech is the opposite of Big Tech, not Big Tech Light.”

The acronym D.H.H. will henceforth be used solely to refer to the Department of Human Hygiene, an expansive initiative that will reach half the population in need to improve their condition, powered by the R.E.I.C.H. (Reconstruction and Expansion Initiative for Central Homeland).
The DHH motto:
To elevate the health, purity, and productivity of the citizen body through scientifically guided programs of renewal and reform.
“Our homeland now thrives under DHH. The future will be clean.”
@kinetix i wish this came out before i bought my framework laptop. this is what it must feel like to be an early tesla owner. it’s not a good feeling. #framework #dhh
I love eye opening articles like this - truly helps to understand the situation.
Framework is idiotic to want to keep this sort of thing in the big tent. Pathetic that they haven't appropriately addressed this yet.

Pendant que la communauté Ruby se demande si la nazisme c'est bien ou pas, la Python Software Fundation (PSF) vient de rejeter 1.5 M$ à cause de la condition liée de n'entreprendre aucun travail en matière de diversité, d'équité et d'inclusion !
La PSF a décliné favorisant ses valeurs à la thune. Bravo.
