Damn, I didn't even know about Framework. Wish they weren't supportin fascists, cause I'd totally get a laptop from them.
They are supporting open source development. Unfortunately, not all open source developers share one's opinions.
I'll take it over alternatives any day.
Nah, if my support of them results in that money going to fascists, I don't care how much good they do. I am not going to support them. Expecting the people you work with and support to uphold certain basic values is not a huge expectation. The people they are supporting actively advocate and support racist and fascistic conspiracies. It is not that much to ask that Framework avoid them and support other open source developers. Its insane to not even have that level of standards. There are loads of open source developers, and people are just asking them to avoid the ones openly being racist.
If you don't think boycotting them till they renounce that support is reasonable, then I don't think we have any common ground to work with.
If Framework would drop support, I'll gladly get onw of their computers and support them. Till then, I ain't touching them and will stick with my current computer
