In case you haven’t heard the news, Framework went and publicly sponsored Hyprland the most toxic part of Wayland by a country mile) and openly shilled Omarchy multiple times (the pet project of fascist shithead David Heinemeier Hansson) recently.

In response to well-justified backlash against this, founder Nirav Patel responded with FOSSbro platitudes about “[creating] a big tent" for open source”.

If you’ve got any more updates on this self-inflicted shitshow, put them here so they can be collected in one place.

(In retrospect, that AI-pilled Framework Desktop should’ve been a major red flag they were gonna pull this shit.)

    1. Shift, an ecoconscious, as-yet untainted tech brand from Germany
    2. I thought Lenovo, but I seem to be wrong - they were playing with concepts, nothing on the market yet.
    • If you wish to buy from Shift you might need to enable a translator, as I believe their store is only in German.
    • The only by me some people have picked at in terms of Shift’s ethical values is that they manufacture in China, but they maintain that their labour standards within the factory are kept high

      I am often skeptical of tablet/keyboard hybrid designs (the PineTab 2 has not exactly been a roaring success for me) but that ShiftBook is straight-up a more visually appealing design than any Framework

      Nice, the shift phone is pretty well supported on postmarketos and their choice of firmware looks consumer friendly
