I honestly dont get why apple isn't more open with their drivers and stuff to get linux working on macbooks, they don't charge for macos, most of their profit comes from hardware it feels like opening up macbooks to be used by people that are linux diehards would just open up more sales

I don’t see any mention of their explicit support for fascism on their homepage, can you justify this claim?

They haven't exactly been quiet about it. Here are some links; * https://x.com/FrameworkPuter/status/1960029405067313546 * https://x.com/FrameworkPuter/status/1975721241345728683 * https://bsky.app/profile/frame.work/post/3lvm6ahbrf22n * https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-righ...

Fascism is when Arch BTW

I have a hard imagining a far right software project, can you explain this to me?

You should look into the political views of Omarchy's creator and sole developer, DHH

That's the dev not the project. Quickly looking over Omarchy I see nothing aligned with the political right. Could you link it to me?

They mention Hollow Knight in their update, but I should note that Silksong also works on my M1 Air flawlessly. Games with more 3D graphics also work to some degree. I tried Bakeru on it and got decent results though the texture load time was significant. Asahi has been fun to watch, and I’m happy it’s still moving along, even with the messiness of the past twelve months. I rarely boot into MacOS on the machine these…

I remember my mind was blown when Alyssa Rosenzweig demoed Cyberpunk running on Asahi Linux a year ago. https://rosenzweig.io/blog/aaa-gaming-on-m1.html

I don't know, I dislike DHH and actively debated with him on many occasions, but I wouldn't put him on the same level as Lunduke.

I don't have time to go over everything. But here are some things: * Here's his screed about how London was better before all the brown people moved in: https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64 * Here's your typical right-wing anti-DEI rant: https://world.hey.com/dhh/the-waning-days-of-dei-s-dominance... I'm sure there's more stuff I could link, but I don't have the time right now to go looking for mor…

You don't seem to understand what fascism actually is. None of these things are that.

Even though I disagree with DHH on all of these topics I don't see how it's relevant to Free Software at all unless the distro were using the webcam and IP geolocation and refusing to work for brown people in England.

> owning/carrying around a $50 portable battery isn’t such a bad thing Carrying an extra powerbank that has to be charged daily (assuming you'll use your computer full day) is not something I'd just handwave like that.

For some types of work, I carry around 3 power banks if I'm to do a full days work away from power. Max screen brightness + high CPU use of long compiles means I'm averaging 40 watts Add on a starlink and you need a trolley to carry the weight of the power packs needed.

Sure. For your type of work, that's the only solution.

To clarify, I'm totally fine with powerbanks, especially that these days even the cheapo ones support a subset of PD to charge a laptop (sometimes even 12V is enough, my Thinkpad allows that, I've read somewhere that Framework can charge from even 5V). I'm just not fine with solving an objectively poorer battery management (compared to Macs) by just buying external battery and calling it a solution. It's a workaround at best.

So in other words you've got nothing? There is literally nothing in your links that backs up your claims.

So conferences in every western country should also not invite Chinese or Japanese speakers because they hold similar views to DHH? I'm so over this exhausting need to feel self-righteous.

if you're going to hold Framework to that standard, wouldn't you also agree that buying a Lenovo machine would be indirectly supporting an authoritarian government with a troubling human-rights record?

You're typically not buying a Framework just because you like the hardware. Framework represents a political project, so you typically buy Framework because you support their values and politics. I don't.

I bought my Framework 12 just because I like the hardware. It's so cute! And purple! The repairability is bonus.
