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. If I understand correctly (and please do correct me if I am wrong), it seems like Framework has started sponsoring Hyprland: So I presume this is fact: Framework, as a company, has decided to sponsor a Wayland compositor who is well known to be led as a rather “toxic and hateful community”. Separately, but on the ...

Title of the (concerning) thread on their community forum, not voluntary clickbait. Came across the thread thanks to a toot by @Khrys@mamot.fr (French speaking)

The gist of the issue raised by OP is that framework sponsors and promotes projects lead by known toxic and racists people (DHH among them).

I agree with the point made by the OP :

The “big tent” argument works fine if everyone plays by some basic civil rules of understanding. Stuff like code of conducts, moderation, anti-racism, surely those things we agree on? A big tent won’t work if you let in people that want to exterminate the others.

I’m disappointed in framework’s answer so far

    I mean I assume it’s because you wouldn’t in fact be able to get constant upgrade you’d end up being limited by socket design and things.

    There has already been at least one incompatible motherboard upgrade. Essentially a whole new line of framework laptops.

      Yup, I’m not s huge fan of the FW12 because of the 3rd format they now have to maintain

      But the Mainboard of 12, 13 and 16 are all interchangeable inside their model line

      You’re not really limited by socket design, as you change out the whole motherboard

      The only limit is the physical size inside the case. And maybe thermals
