We’re getting to the point where as a tech company all you have to do is not be fascist or actively sabotage your own product with AI bullshit. You don’t even have to be good, you just have to not actively be bad
If Framework made the business decision to fund anti-LGBTQ+ and white supremacist, then we shall make the business decision to not give them a red cent.
I bought a Fremework less then a year ago to replace an aging and failing Dell XPS. While not perfect, I liked the repairability. Then I had to get the battery swaped a couple of weeks ago, and they made me think twice, but ok.

One answer to your question is given in the short story "The Shadmock" by R. Chetwynd-Hayes. short answer: they form hybrids with even more extraordinary capacities.
As the dark part of the year is closing in on us, once more it is time to be reminded of this PSA: The void is for screaming and the abyss is for staring into. Please don't scream into the abyss, it doesn't like it. Thank you for your kind attention.
Whelp we have a response from @frameworkcomputer and it’s extremely disappointing. Don’t buy Framework. They happily fund alt right bigoted groups and have no intention to change that. kolektiva.social/@Anarcat/1153…
@frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org i have also posted a discussion on your community forum, as it seems multiple federated posts here have not been able to bring your attention to this problem yet https://community.frame.
This is probably the fucking stupidest statement I’ve ever seen. You can’t build a brand on environmentalism and right-to-repair and then suddenly say you want to be “apolitical”. Your entire customer base was built on politics.
Hi, I am not exactly sure how best to frame this, but recent events have got me wondering where exactly Framework, as a company, stands with regards to human rights and equality.
I bought a new frame.work 13 last month. I now regret that.
Not only sponsoring people with utterly hateful views, and promoting others with the same, but now arguing that a 'big tent' approach is somehow suitable. Not even a hint of an acknowledgement that it might be a bad idea to give hateful people money.
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.
hey @frameworkcomputer, are you aware that Omarchy is headed by racist far-right disgruntled coder who recently upended the entire Ruby ecosystem? is that the stuff you really want to be associated with? jakelazaroff.com/words/dhh-is-…
DHH's politics are not normal. Maybe they used to be, I don't know, but as of right now the dude is way outside of what most people would consider moral or acceptable.
LibreOffice has been available for Linux since we started the project in 2010. The official builds from The Document Foundation (the non-profit entity behind LibreOffice) are designed to be self-contained and distribution agnostic – that is, they sho…
The more I read the timeline on the Fediverse (which is quite a lot inclined to the left), the more often I read the word "fascists" and "nazis", applied to a whole bunch of people. First I was horrified: "What? Nazis? Fascists? No no, not again, please, it's awful, absolutely disgusting!". then, when I sifted deeper through the information, those people accused to be "nazis" were actually either just right-wing activists or had *some* far-right points of view, but most of their reasoning was moderate. Then again there were posts like "fascist! Nazi! block him! Boycot him!" — and the person in question said something like "there's too much far-left discourse in the modern society" or "My country doesn't take enough measures to integrate immigrants from certain regions of the planet" or even "I don't support hamas". You know what, dear leftists? that is a classical case of "The boy who cried wolf" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_…). When real wolves come, nobody will trust you because even now, when I see "fascist" or "nazi" applied to someone, my first thought is not "what a horror!", but rather "someone disagreed with the far-left again". And I wouldn't be surprised if someone calls me a nazi after this post, given the fact that I'm Ukrainian, lived in four countries and always work in multicultural environments, my best friend is Israeli and my son-in-law is Lebanese-French (so "nazi" of what "nation" am I?). The moral? People, think thrice before you call someone a "fascist" or, even worse, a "nazi". It's a very hard insult, and it must be grounded. #Politics #Left #Right #Discourse
Aah, but you don't apply the same to 'The Right' calling everyone on the left 'Woke' or 'Snowflake' so seems a little double-standards to me. Yes, words matter. Yes, 'Nazi' or Fascist' are usually thrown around in bad faith but hey, it goes both ways...
@FreakyFwoof Also true. but you know, at least to me "snowflake" is not such a deep insult as "nazi". Nazi implies hideous experiments on people, mass murders, concentration camps. I mean, it's really, really a word that must be pronounced with great caution.
True. It's still a word to demean, degrade, belittle though. Should people just turn the other cheek just because it's not as strong as Nazi? Is Libtard acceptable? Nope. If it's one rule for some, then it's one rule for all.
It's one of the most effective and pernicious ways of taking over a system. Have a core of supporters willing to disassociate themselves with those who don't do what you ask, and then extend that disassociation to everybody who doesn't disassociate with the "cancelled" people themselves.
Уж не помню за что конкретно так назвали. За мнение отличающееся от политики партии. По-моему что-то про Германию написал, несовпадающее с представлениями розовых поней.
Interestingly, its the left-leaning people who say Free Palestine (myself included) that I hear so often called Nazis or anti-Semitic. It makes me shake my head just as much as being called a libtard does. Like yeah, I think Israel should stop bombing civilians, and I'm not a Zionist, but I also don't hate Jews, yet somehow that makes me an anti-Semitic Nazi who would probably throw Jews in gas chambers. My view is pretty simple. The Jewish people are entirely different from the state of Israel. There is historical significance tying the Jews to Israel, but killing 50000 civilians to try and say hey don't kill Jews again is very very counter-intuitive. And, to be clear, because I also get told I support Hamas when I bring this up, I absolutely do not. I believe that *both* Hamas and the Israeli government are evil, but I am 100% anti-killing innocent civilians.
I'll also add that fascist is probably being thrown around more liberally than it should, but in the United States, the president is trying to take talkshow hosts off the air who say bad things about him. Violating the first amendment of the constitution so blatantly does sound like fascism to me, I'm afraid to say. That doesn't mean that anyone who has right-leaning views is automatically a fascist, of course not. But the ones in power sure seem to have some fascist ideals at least.
@TheQuinbox Yes, here I agree. My take was just not to overuse those words, especially "nazi". Maybe it's an Eastern European thing, but if you say "nazi" to people like me, we instantly imagine mass murders, gas cameras, "medical" (in quotes) experiments on alive people, and so on, and so forth which I even don't want to write. Hence my stanza to be cautious with it.
Oh you have full agreement from me there, overusing a label is exactly how you make it lose its meaning. Unfortunately in the modern world we live in, we do seem to have actual fascists among us at the very least. Once again that label shouldn't be overused, but it sadly does exist, as do people who still hold Nazi philosophies, although those are rarer.
as foretold for many months, now that v0.20.0 of #GoToSocial is released, we have removed our mirror of the code from Github, and removed all our other archived repositories from there as well
all development has been taking place solely on @Codeberg for months now, we just didn't want to remove our repo from Github immediately when we switched, since people might have been relying on it; so if you hadn't moved whatever mirrors / build systems etc to our codeberg repo yet, you ought to do it
Poll: I have to know, is there *anyone* at all in the UK that wants this 'Digital ID?' I can't vote in my own poll so I'll state categorically that I absolutely do not. Hate the idea on a visceral level.
Yes, I'm fine with a Digital ID (0 votes)
No, I'm not fine with a Digital ID (0 votes)
I'm undecided about Digital ID (0 votes)
Something else, I'll reply with more info (0 votes)
@menelion It's centralised, it's all the info on a citizen that any hacker would just love to have... I want absolutely nothing to do with it under any circumstances. Nothing! Check out some articles on it and see what you think.
I mean... I get your concerns, but on the other hand, if protected correctly, it's super mega convenient. I would love to have something like that, not to deal with huge amounts of papers like here, not to have various numbers and references in various instances. Don't know, maybe it's because I'm an immigrant and I constantly deal with documents.
I have one from another country. I'm OK with it because the critical data is in my possession, not on their servers. The UK model, like age verification, is a recipe for disaster.
I have a Spanish one, and it's also very convenient. Same model: PKI, you identify yourself the first time you get it and on renewals, keys live in the card, cannot be extracted, and are signed by the state. It makes a large number of things such as authenticating to deal with the public administration a lot easier.

The whole open source community loves Milkshake Laptops, a lovely laptop company that has ethical values! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you the laptop company stans fascists
The state of the internet these days is when I search "Milkshake Laptop Controversy" I just get lots of reddit pots about how to clean your laptop when your child has spilled a drink on it
The current BlueSky drama¹ is either blown extremely out of proportion or very easy to resolve: if you don’t like how the dragon lady rules her kingdom, don’t be on fucking BlueSky. Alternatives exist, you know.
But what I don't understand is: why don't people just quit bsky and use Mastodon? Bsky is obviously garbage (that was already a known fact before it even launched). Why are people so attached to it?
Ireland’s Minister for Justice stated that they wish to introduce domestic legislation that would give Irish police (An Garda Síochána) access to encrypted messaging services.
What kind of people are these who simply refuse to understand that a backdoor is a really stupid idea? Apparently, some of them are seriously in favor of a surveillance state. Presumably, they assume that it could never affect them personally.
Thank you. As an Irish citizen I already objected to ChatControl by writing to every Irish MEP. I will certainly object to any attempt to introduce any back doors. I do wish, however, that people would stop saying "the EU" or "Country X" wants to do things when the reality is always that some politicians want to do so--and are very likely not to succeed. Ireland doesn't even have a security clearance process for access to govt information--which should be a higher priority.
Considering the past and present child abuse problems in Catholic Eire the Rialtas na hÉireann or government
maybe hoping to catch some of the most prolific abusers, past and present, on the Planet. members of the Catholic Clergy, Monks Nuns included..
History I know of no other country with hundreds of unmarked graves where Convents and schools buried babies and children male and female that they misused mistreated then killed.
Kdysi na základní škole jsme si psali s vrstevníky ze Sovětského svazu. Nejdřív jsme si nejspíš museli „dobrovolně“ vybrat adresu, pak už to bylo na nás. Mě to bavilo, později jsem si řekl o další adresu a vedle Nataši jsem si psal i s Innou. Až mě mrzelo, když to potom přestalo fungovat a naštvalo, když mi taťka vyhodil starší dopisy.
Teď uvažuju, že bych začal znovu, i když moje ruština není, co bývala. Jen teď by to bylo в тюрьму.
Různým formám politicky motivovaného trestního stíhání čelí v Rusku aktuálně přes 3 850 ruských a ukrajinských občanů. Přes 1200 lidí z toho je stíháno za protiválečné postoje.
Toca ir al vampiro y donar algo de sangre. Lo hago habitualmente, pero teniendo en cuenta que a mi abuela le dieron dos bolsas en septiembre, parece incluso más procedente.
I am somewhat surprised to see frame.work (user upgradable / fixable, if rather expensive, computer seller) setting out its stall in this way, in the face of the concerns raised.
> We deliberately create a big tent ... 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.
Even if they were considering this solely from a business point of view, I'd have thought that this stance would alienate quite a lot of their target market.
Hi, I am not exactly sure how best to frame this, but recent events have got me wondering where exactly Framework, as a company, stands with regards to human rights and equality.
You're giving DHH too much credit here. The project is BSD-licensed and has a development process similar to many smaller OSS projects. DHH uses/endorses hundreds of these (including Framework itself). Probably thinking about it for less than a minute.
the Nazi bar thing applies to big tents too. The roof being more flimsy doesn't stop Nazis taking over.
And given that someone with access to the purse strings thought it was a good idea to give money to a dhh project given the recent "noise", I'd say they are already throughly embedded.
@archos mne taky nesedi. Ale ten rozdil ve vykonu je znat i na docela slusnym hw. Poznam to nejen ve hrach ale i v apkach. Takovej AutoCad by mohl vypravet.
Ne, není, ale ot o nejde. Používám to jako daily driver pracovní mašinu, a na tyhecty kravinky typu "nainstaluju betu a počkám, jestli to další tři měsíce bude stabilní" nějak už není nálada ani čas 🙂
(A na domácím desktopu chci taky raději trávit čas hraním, čuměním na filmy nebo Pornhub, ne rýpáním se pod kapotou...)
Ono to stejně časem přijde, plně stable, s dalším LTS, tak proč pálit čas 🙂
@theron29 No, je to jen o přístupu, každý to máme jinak a je to tak dobře. Taky používám Fedoru jako daily driver a na hrátky mám jiný počítač, ten v dílně. Ale každopádně to jak píšeš, že nainstaluju betu a pak čekám zda bude stabilní je fakt blbost, beta Fedory je bezproblémová a pro někoho kdo rád zkouší nové věci a tím pádem nemá rád Vintage distra, které v roce 25 mají kernel max 6.11 a Gnome 46, je Fedora, nebo Arch ta správná volba. 🤷♂️ Není čas, ztrácet čas 😁 @archos @johnny @zoufalec
