We support open source software (and hardware), and partner with developers and maintainers across the ecosystem. We deliberately create a big tent, because we want open source software to win. We don’t partner based on individuals’ or organizations’ beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software. We’ve sent out large quantities of hardware to folks at Fedora, Bluefin, Bazzite, NixOS, Arch Linux, Linux Mint, Omarchy, and many other distros, and have sponsored either the organizations directly or events with Linux Foundation, LVFS, NixOS, Debian, KDE, Hyprland, and others. Within the team itself, personal distro and OS preferences span basically every Linux distro you can imagine along with FreeBSD. I personally am running machines with Fedora (for machine learning), Bazzite (for gaming), Omarchy (general productivity), and Windows 11 (when I have to).
I definitely understand that not everyone will agree with taking a big tent approach, but we want to be transparent that bringing in and enabling every organization and community that we can across the Linux ecosystem is a deliberate choice.
Edit to add:This is a comment I recently added deep in this thread, but pasting it here so that folks don’t need to dig through to find it:
Update on Oct 14th, 2025:\
A number of folks have reached out to us over the last few days to ask that we share more about which organizations we sponsor. This is certainly something we should have been doing already for transparency, and today we’ve published the list of all of our 2025 sponsorships so far, which total around $215,000. We’ll be keeping this list up to date over time. In addition, we would love nominations of a broader set of mission-aligned organizations we can sponsor, and we’ve created a submission form for this. As you can see from the list for this year, our focus is primarily around funding organizations developing Linux distros and window managers, open source firmware, educational organizations doing open source hardware development, and open source infrastructure that our hardware products and website depend on.
Since this thread started in part around our donation to Hyprland, we wanted to provide additional specific context there. We decided a few months ago to be more deliberate about funding the maturity of the Linux desktop by providing support to both distros and window managers. On the latter, we started sponsorship discussions with the GNOME Foundation ($1,000/month), KDE Foundation ($10,000/year), and Hyprland (600€/month) at the same time, with the plan to announce them together. We sent the funding to Hyprland and GNOME Foundation last week, and have been working with KDE Foundation to finalize our sponsorship. We’ve also been working with GNOME Foundation on announcement timing, as they needed to update the sponsor list on their site. We missed on letting Hyprland know that we wanted to announce these together, and they shared the sponsorship shortly after receiving it last week.
On Hyprland specifically, we were aware that there was past toxicity and controversy in their community, so we did research into it before deciding if we could sponsor the project. What we found was that there were past failures in moderation early in the creation of the project that had resulted in a toxic community, that the project lead vaxry had overhauled moderation years ago as a result, and that the community as it currently stands does not represent the one in which the issues occurred. Over the last few days, we’ve gotten additional outreach from others in the community who were initially concerned about our sponsorship of Hyprland who did their own research and came to a similar conclusion to what we did.
Going forward on this topic:
We are going to continue to update our list of sponsorships as we go to give transparency on what we’re monetarily backing. As noted above, in general we want to coordinate the updates with the organizations we sponsor so that their website updates and announcements happen around the same time as ours.
We’re requesting that you provide additional nominations of mission-aligned organizations that we should sponsor. Note that in the near-to-mid term, we’re still prioritizing organizations focused on open source firmware, software, and hardware that make the ecosystem around our products more mature and accessible. If you have recommendations of other good organizations, please feel free to submit those in the form as well, but they may come into future funding cycles.
Before we sponsor an organization, we will continue to research and confirm that as they currently exist, they uphold appropriate community standards and are structurally set up for that to continue to be the case.
Although this thread has continuously spiraled into unproductive directions that have needed active moderation, we do still plan to keep it open for now and merge additional related new threads into it. Please remember to follow our forum rules though and keep conversation productive and free of personal attacks.
Kinda expected, I always disable leta when I setup a mullvad browser.
The biggest killer was not being able to go to the original engine. Let's search for the image of a duck, oh leta doesn't do images, ok open this search in Google... Not a option either. Adds lots of friction
I like the DDG option of having a g! Escape to Google with my query if I need it.
Voting is part of the dialogue, it's reasonable to ask people why they thought something was bad for Lemmy and shouldn't be on the site, it's just the next step in the dialogue.
An abundance of food that we didn't coevolve with and thus isn't optimal nutrition.
Modern industrial foods have just shown up in the 3ish million years of homosapiens existence, hell, agriculture is still really new at 13,000 years.
Humans eating the coevolved foods won't have this type of reaction, i.e. animals meats and fats won't make even the most dedicated couch potato look like this guy.
Now.. eventually, in a few hundred thousand or millions of years eating current processed foods, the future humans will have adapted and be ok with it, but not today
The only problem is eating enough, I frequently miss my target of 3000 kcal, but I am simply not hungry much of the time.
If your eating fatty red meat (more fat then lean), and your not hungry - I don't think you need to hit a arbitrary calorie target.
If you have access to a body composition scale, as long as your non-fat mass is holding steady, I'm not sure there is any concerns at all.
I have noticed that my dandruff is way less, my skin doesn’t flake, I can focus better (not as good as meds but maybe 30% of the way there). I also dropped body fat a bit and gained some muscle, but I need to do that for other reasons too. Overall it is not an awful diet.
I'm also doing the zero-carb eating pattern, in addition to what you saw my shoulder injury went away (but comes back if i cheat), my tinnitus went away, and I don't get sunburned... weird stuff
So thanks, again, especially for challenging my suggestions when it’s often risky here in internet as you’d often get negative pushback and most wouldn’t bother to subject themselves to that.
The greatest joy I've found on lemmy is collaborative constructive discussions where people don't agree, but are open to other people's ideas. Thank you for being a thoughtful person.
just a completely unrelated blood draw revealed problems with my blood glucose before it ever got to diabetes, and also revealed some (luckily minor) damage to my liver due to fatty liver.
If you haven't heard of the TG/HDL ratio as a marker for insulin resistance, its a fascinating area of research. It's on all lipid panels and can tell people about creeping insulin problems (i.e. CVD risk, FLD risk) - https://hackertalks.com/post/5922188
ketogenic diet is very good for the latter (fatty liver, perhaps inner fat in general I think?)
Yes, all visceral, inter organ fat, inter muscular fat - resolve quickly on a ketogenic metabolism.
I was advised to return to more normal diet but with strictly reduced carbs so as to not let the problems resurface.
I'm not aware of any dangers of staying keto full time, so I don't think the return to a carb based metabolism is necessary (but if that is what people find more sustainable, more power to them)
And when doing any bigger diet changes, it’ll be good to have a baseline from before it, to compare against at different points of the diet.
since saturated fats come with other problems themselves.
I would love to know what those problems are, from my reading of the literature the vilification of saturated fat was misattributed (i.e. the damage sugar and carbs caused got blamed on saturated fats in the lipid heart hypothesis)
new research and guidelines. To that end, I’d recommend checking out if that is indeed true, and if the new recommendations/consensus would make my point moot.
As far as I’m aware, fiber is a critical component of our gut health but also immune system robustness.
From my reading we don't know much about the gut and fiber, we are just at the beginning of our understanding. So there are lots of assumptions that may not apply. For instance, and most relevant to the couple eating a animal based diet for seizures, fiber is not necessary for gut health - right now most papers assume a diversity of biotics in the gut are the most healthy... and the assumption is that fibre increases this diversity.. which is true in a carbohydrate eating population. But in people only eating animal based foods we have case studies showing a very diverse gut... given the state of literature the assumption that fibre is essential hasn't been demonstrated, especially in a ketogenic metabolism. One of the major benefits of fibre in a carbohydrate rich gut is providing BHB locally to the gut lining, which has major benefits, but in a ketogenic metabolism BHB is being generated constantly in the liver and gets all over the body including the gut (and also the brain).
I was given the rough guide of overall carbs - fibers = “final” carbs ingested. Not really sure how to translate that into English but I think it’s a common rule of thumb and you get the gist. Has that changed since?
That is still true, fibre is indigestible by the human gut, its the bacteria that break some of it down into SCAs which then get absorbed. Fibre does not spike glucose, however, it does block the absorption of other healthy food you eat in the same window.... Again from my reading fiber isn't essential, especially in a ketogenic metabolism, so avoiding fiber just means the food you eat is even more nutritious
But I’ll end on this note: Whatever I or someone say here on internet, best to double-check it all with your dietitian if doing an overseen diet, and yourself from internet if you’re doing it on your own.
Completely agreed, really good advice. Monitoring personal health metrics is also helpful, especially lipids, ketones, glucose, fasting insulin, etc...
Nutrition and health are no small things to play with. Our body is flexible and can survive a whole lot, in a lot of different situations, but there are prerequisites for it to thrive in a sustainable way. And there’s a fundamental distinction between just surviving/existing and thriving/being healthy.
