I was looking for a new laptop to replace my old Lenovo Yoga 370 and initially disregarded the Framework 13 because of some downsides (low Battery Life, bad Camera, etc.) and was looking to go with one of the following devices:
- HP Elitebook X g1a
- the new Dell XPS 14
- Asus Expertbook PM5 G2
or also a MacBook pro. I am using Linux since more then 10 years and never touched MacOS at all. So I was not sure if MacOS would work for me. But this announcement made it easy: It will be a Framework 13 Pro with Intel X7 358H!
Not supporting fascists is self-righteous now? Are you actually serious?
Support or don’t support who you want.
How you and your friends here present your arguments and interact with the community appears more like chasing the high of outrage and drama farming than attempting to engage in a conversation on the topic.
Doing things like putting words into other people’s mouth, and then attacking the strawman of your own creation for example:
There’s no topic to engage upon. There’s merely a fascist vendor trying to enter a community space from which they were already ejected.
Everyone doesn’t know the things you know.
You are here, in a new post, making conclusory statements without backing them up. How do you expect other people to become aware of this thing that you think is so important if your (or whoever’s) first reaction is to attack people as if they disagree with you instead of explaining your argument?
It reads like drama farming and the toxic behaviors of the other people on ‘your side’ only adds to that impression.
