I was recently looking at Framework for a new x86 laptop, as I believed the company to be reasonably aligned with my values (e.g. pro-repair, pro-FOSS, pro-humanity). But others have warned me that they are now supporting Hyprland, Omarchy, etc. They support these projects led by people who hold alt-right views, in the name of building a “big tent” coalition.

The problem, however, is that building a “big tent” coalition, by design, requires some form of value alignment.

Alpine is a “big tent”, for example, but people who want to harm members of our community aren’t welcome.

This isn’t hard.

Needless to say, I won’t be buying a Framework laptop anytime soon, which makes me sad.


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.

A poll, about microwaves!

Assuming you have a microwave oven, does it have a digital display and buttons, or a number of dials only? Just got a new microwave, with dials as I hate the digital beeps, and a friend was surprised that it had dials and not a screen. Over here I think mine is quite normal and common and it's the type I always get! The "microwave is done" sound also comes from a physical bell, which is nice.

Share for science, should you care to.
