I can't wait to discover that Apple stance on not giving access to data (no backdoor) is actually a big lie and that they have been doing it all along.

Note: I don't even think Google, Microsoft, Facebook aren't already doing it.

If you're thinking of buying a @frameworkcomputer check this thread from their forum: community.frame.work/t/framewo…. Make sure to check their twitter stream too.

Personally the chances of me buying anything from them in the future is 0%.

Framework supporting far-right racists?

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.

spvm to buy a dystopian american mass surveillance product

some notes from the thread:

• American software collecting the movement history of all people in Montreal. Millions of hours of video will be sent to the US, and the movement history of all citizens will be potentially sold to the highest bidder.

• Software with very advanced capabilities accessible without a warrant by the police, such as chronological search (give me all the movements of this person over a year), facial recognition, alerts on individuals, and all the previously mentioned functionalities, etc.

• Complete loss of privacy for all people in Montreal, immediately. Privacy is dead the moment this system is connected and used by the SPVM.

• No strict judicial control, and data is not within our control. Valuable data going directly to the US and accessible without a warrant by the police.

• Police can access movement history without a warrant or validated by a judge ( think jealous police officer ex here )."

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

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 Framework 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 swapped a couple of weeks ago, and they made me think twice, but ok.

Right now I regret it. But I couldn't have known.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM Framework.

I used to wonder how IBM could possibly consent to create a system to help Hitler organize his concentration camps.

Then I look around at all the tech companies aligning with fascism today.

Ok, some important questions from my kids:

Vampires, zombies and werewolves all have bit-related contagion effects. What happens if they bite each other? Help me fill out that 3x3 bites/is-bitten matrix.

Hey @frameworkcomputer I just cancelled my order because you fund #HateSpeech via hyprland & omarchy.

I got a minisforum workstation instead of funding your sponsorship. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Well. That's not encouraging.

Yeah @frameworkcomputer is a no-go from now on. You're free to take sides. I'm free to tell you to fuck off because of your choice.

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.

I'll take my money elsewhere in future, and I regret the purchases that I have made.

Framework supporting far-right racists?

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.

I am disappointed to read that @frameworkcomputer appear to be lending their support to questionable people.

In the hardware hacker community that I serve with my writing, we have a huge number of people to whom that matters a lot.
