I’ve joined this forum today in order to voice my support for Framework to not support financially or otherwise organisations and groups that are against trans people or are actually doing fascist or anti-immigration things.
I don’t have a framework laptop. Since I learnt about them from LTT they seem like a good idea, and if I didn’t already have a laptop that works, I would have gotten a framework laptop. The ethos or reusing what we have and reducing what we throw away appeals to me.
However I do think that just because a project is FOSS it is not enough. I want the projects I support to be anti-fascist andd anti-racist. Especially in this time where fascism has taken over a world superpower. It’s not enough to be neutral of apolitical. It is a matter of survival for some of us, especially when most of big tech is happy to work with and for much of the far right.
As some folks have expressed discomfort at the idea of funding companies or orgs that don’t have their safety at heart. I do not think this can be ignored for sake of a big tent.
I had hoped framework laptops will be there for me when I am ready to make the switch but this news has made me disappointed. I want an open source project that supports people like me too.
