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 (2): Found a solid summary of the situation, and a solid teardown of Nirav’s actions - recommend checking them 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.

      Nice, the shift phone is pretty well supported on postmarketos and their choice of firmware looks consumer friendly

      I am often skeptical of tablet/keyboard hybrid designs (the PineTab 2 has not exactly been a roaring success for me) but that ShiftBook is straight-up a more visually appealing design than any Framework
