The problem is that buying Framework has always been a political decision, from the very start. Right-to-repair, specifically.

If you don't care about the politics at all, then why would you even consider buying one of their laptops? There is literally zero reason. They sell overpriced, underpowered plastic hunks of shit which are an absolute pain to even buy, let alone deal with.

So if they start supporting a far-right agitator like D14HH, that bakes him into the very soul of supporting Framework. Which makes the whole thing rather dicey.

Absolute nonsense, my FW16 has been fantastic. No hardware trouble at all to speak of in my years owning it. Looks cool, works great, solid construction. Ordering was a breeze. I love everything about the experience of buying and owning this laptop.
