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.)

EDIT: Found a solid summary of the situation in the wild - recommend checking it out.

    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 bone some people have picked at in terms of Shift’s ethical values is that they manufacture in China, but Shift maintain that their labour standards within the factory are kept high
