Framework listens to their audience so much that they send another pre-release laptop to DHH.

@soapdog @alatiera I definitely saw a list of distros within the body of a post somewhere by them which I now can't find at all (just the separate distro partner pre-seading page which is different). It was talking about it being Ubuntu official and then a list of distros they had sent ones to. It didn't include Omarchy, but was strange because it had a bracket's after Arch with something along the lines of "sending in progress". I now can't find that anywhere at all in the blog posts.

@alatiera for a "big tent" approqch they seem to be really focused on a specific part of the tent.

@soapdog @alatiera they do send out to other distros, and given Ormachy wasn't on the list they said they had sent pre-relase laptops too. I therefore suspect they had intended for this to go under the radar which is even worse. Not only have they not actually listened, the lesson they seem to have learned is "just don't let people know". It's all so sad and frustrating and oh so easily avoidable by Framework.

I think this is fine. It would be more egregious if they spent time promoting fashOS instead of any the dozen of serious distros and projects.

@Foxboron @smilingdemon @alatiera they do spend a lot of time promoting omarchy

@soapdog according to https://frame.work/linux they are sending laptops to something like 22 different distributions

@komali_2 @Foxboron @smilingdemon @alatiera they were called out for plataforming DHH, then they replied badly. That thread had more info. Is their track record better recently? I am not sure, considering they did send a device to DHH I think they simply don't care that DHH is posting that trans people are not people or that London should be more white.

@Foxboron @komali_2 @smilingdemon @alatiera sorry, you misunderstood me,I didn't deny they being better, I said I am not keeping track.
I do believe that sending DHH a device is not them doing better though.

@soapdog @Foxboron @smilingdemon @alatiera Right that's what I mean, that's just the original forum post which mentions a blog post that mentioned omarchy from 2025, I was wondering if there was some new stuff I hadn't seen. I'm all in that forum post, I'm "caleb_rogers" in there

@soapdog @Foxboron @smilingdemon @alatiera I see, yes I agree, I wish they hadn't, however I understand the structural necessity of capitalist participation leading to them trying to take advantage of omarchy's popularity to push laptop sales.

@soapdog @Foxboron @smilingdemon @alatiera Nirav, the CEO, has explicitly said he supports immigrants and LGBTQ rights, on twitter. Won't link that awful site but a quick search should turn it up.
So imo I wonder to what degree our expectations for framework change since it's a socially conscious company, vs a known-systemic-evil like dell.
-
@noodlejetski @soapdog sure they could, I am just clarifying they are not only supporting that particular project as the parent poster mentioned.

@komali_2 @Foxboron @smilingdemon @alatiera
that is normalising and accepting someone with a large platform that is spewing racist and facist speech. If capitalism trumps their morals, then their morals is shit.
