having read the actual discussion thread, Framework have made their decision, and I believe they are who they are saying they are. Purchase accordingly.

I paid a fuckton of money for my @frameworkcomputer laptop parts. I paid extra for the parts I could've saved money on elsewhere because I wanted to support the company and what they stand for. I even ported Debian to the RISC-V Motherboard for the product that made Framework Framework: The Framework 13.

Now Framework decided to sponsor Omarchy and Hyprland, the leaderships of which are not just "politically of a different opinion", they are actively toxic, hostile and highly discriminatory, to phrase it euphemistically.

Nirav Patel responded to this in the community forum, essentially doubling down on the decision to take a "big tent approach".

I want to reiterate: __This isn't about "political differences", because the political difference are actively harmful to democracy itself, and the physical safety of marginalised communities.

Someone I supported in good faith with both code and money turned around and gave this money to multiple people who'd rather see me dead for existing.

Needless to say, I feel quite betrayed and I'm really torn on wether or not I should even continue and proceed with the port for the second RISC-V mainboard, because I don't want to end up supporting the hate towards me, my wife or other people in the same situation as me.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels betrayed by this decision.

Oh wow, the @frameworkcomputer team's reply to them supporting far-right racists is terrible: https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986/2.

I don't want to spend money with a company that has a "big tent" policy and allows people to piss in it. I never want to be in a tent with people pissing in it. OSS does not need it.

Speaking as a German - this 'big tent' approach just doesn't work.

Today is a good day to write to support@frame.work using your shop email address. I will.

The Transportation Secretary says he might fire air traffic controllers who are calling out sick. Because *that* will surely help travel quickly return to normal once the government shutdown ends. 🙄

The war is not over, however. Now we move to the European Council, where the issue is unresolved. We expect closed-door negotiations to engage in rhetorical arbitrage--claiming to support privacy by using word games and bespoke definitions--while in practice undermining it. Tedious and dangerous 3/

There are already solutions right here on Earth to many of the problems “sunlight as a service” purports to solve. This approach is simply a reckless and inefficient use of Earth orbit, a precious and finite resource.

This list of facts was developed by me and a bunch of very concerned astronomers. If you're a journalist interested in writing a news article about this, please look up my university email and contact me, and I'll be happy to chat.

I am happy to announce the FemtoMSP430, a processor designed with the instruction set of the classic #MSP430, but with a flexible bus interface similar to @BrunoLevy01 #FemtoRV32 including memory busy signaling. The playground contains a phantasy "microcontroller" design for the #ULX3S #FPGA board, interactively running the original #Mecrisp #Forth image for MSP430G2755, enhanced with a text mode on 800x600 video, USB-CDC terminal and a lot of GPIO wires: https://codeberg.org/Mecrisp/FemtoMSP430

I disagree with a lot of people here, and that's fine. We can disagree on what tax rates should be. We can disagree on the best mix of public and private ownership. We can disagree on the amount of government involvement in markets. We can disagree on what privacy rights need to be protected by governments versus which need to treat the government as the adversary. We can disagree on which OS is best. We can disagree on the best way to build a Free Software ecosystem (we can even disagree on whether that's a desirable goal).

But we can't disagree on which people are people. If your perspective is that some people are not people, there is no way that we can still have a meaningful conversation. That's not a 'there are two sides' kind of debate. That's a 'no, this isn't a debate and we can't build a functioning society if you disagree' kind of debate.

Might as well mention that as a part of my overall "how can I get out of dev?" exploration, I'm doing a publishing collaboration with https://bsky.app/profile/uglyreykjavik.bsky.social. We're hoping to get her graphic novel (she's an illustrator) out into the Icelandic market this Christmas.

It's an experiment. We'll see how it goes but at least it's been fun to work on🤞🙂🤞

Gone through a lot of shit working in web dev over the years, most of it due to my focus on publishing and reading and the genuinely shitty management that comes with those industries, but the current "AI" bubble is the first time I'm actively considering an exit strategy out of dev entirely.
