I'd imagine Dell or Lenovo would ALSO be giving money to people you disagree with, albeit more secretively. Plus, their laptops are less repairable.
There's no ethical consumption under Capitalism, so you pick the "best" choice; Framework might still be "best", they haven't discarded all their competitive advantage.
I'll probably do System76 for my next laptop, but I was considering Framework for my next phone. I don't expect to need to purchase either soon tho, so lots of time for the decision calculus to change.
I think there's a fundamental asymmetry between receiving resources from persons you disagree with and providing resources to persons you disagree with. As long as your tasks aren't doing fascism, I think it's fine to get paid by (i.e. take money away from) fascists. But, no matter what you might get from persons with bad politics, if you transfer resources to them, they are going to use those resources to pursue those bad politics.
(BTW, Fox isn't right-wing enough for the real fascists; too many facts. OAN is what they watch, I think.)
I very much care about the view of business owners are; it's how I decide to where my "vote" goes when I "vote with my wallet" as I've frequently told to do by Capitalism supporters.
Palingenetic ultranationalism is a definition of "true fascism" proposed by political theorist Roger Griffin.
So, you are painting with a fairly fine brush there. While "Nazi" is more metaphorical, there are definitely people with authority in the US government that are literally fascists.
Did the author bother contacting them first before treating them like utter garbage and trying to rile up a public lynch mob?
Yes, the community.frame.work is the preferred method for asking questions to Framework (see: https://frame.work/support), and the first post makes a few statements about non-Framework persons/projects and Framework has sponsored, and asks one question to Framework.
So, if you'd read the damn post, you'd know this is exactly how Framework asks to be engaged.
Agreed. Even Adam Smith decried rent-seeking behavior as the bane of Capitalism. Abolish landlords, encourage more co-op housing, and renting rooms from your primary residence out, with just enough association / State provided housing to fill in the gaps.
I don't think this will work simply. Probably, they'd just have a individualized RIT (Real estate Investment Trust) for each house, and then have investors buy shares (up to 100%) of the individualized RITs or a "master RIT" that doesn't own any property directly, but just all the shares of the indivudalized RITs that aren't sold to an investor.
Disclaimer: I do make the problem slightly worse buy investing through https://arrived.com/ (Slightly because I don't have that much money to invest, and only a portion of it is invested there.)
I'm on Linux with an old AMD Pioneer (EDIT: AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition (radeonsi, vega10, ACO, DRM 3.61, 6.12.48+deb13-amd64)) video card, and I find the game playable, but just barely, and that's after changing the Proton version to match the steamdb recommendations.
There's some visual glitches and definitely low frame rates, but I'm through the second Axon and past the barrier.
Parrying is hard for me, but I just play on Story difficulty and still have fun.
gcc can do tail-call optimization in C, and sometimes in C++. It doesn't even have to be a recursive call, tho I do think it might depends on the calling convention.
I don't know about those specifics, but I too think that Elmu's reaction to Vivian's transition is a large part of his transphobia. I'm pretty sure he'd be a POS anyway, but society not letting him control his progeny really gets him worked up.
I thought I wasn't going to like the combat of XIII, but I ended up really quite enjoying it most of the time. I thought the support roles AI was quite good, and eventually I figured out a rhythm of switching roles that felt really good.
But, I probably should go back and play some of the 7-9, maybe even X again. I picked up 2, 3, and 5 (and the portable Nintendo consoles to play them) and never made the time to play them.
I know some are on Steam, but I'm on Linux and I don't know how well the Proton/SteamPlay works with them. (Plus, I need to finish up Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 before I buy yet another JRPG.)
Final Fantasy X. Hands down the best entry of the franchise (fight me)
I never finished X, it felt like it was dragging on and there were too many unskippable scenes.
I actually preferred XIII, which I nearly 100%'d (I think I was one or 2 combats away from 100%) and even XIII-2 which I enjoyed, tho I thought the "post-game" was too heavy with loading screens. I never played XIII-3 (Lightning Returns).
In any case, FF VI is actually the best entry in the franchise. I know that because I played and beat it as a child. (/s)
(I was really hoping FF XV [?; road trip with the boy band] would be good, but I played about 10 hours and had nothing good to say about it.)
