I wonder what criteria they are using for distribution. Mine is set for the By September timeline so I’m happy with that. But from what I’ve seen of comments it doesn’t necessarily seem to be done in order of reservation necessarily.

Interesting article from 2018. I loved the Police Quest games of the Sonny Bonds era. I was maybe 12 or 13 when this one came out, and I could tell it was shit I didn't want.

I cannot understand why Nirav, the head of the company, would weigh in here instead of having the PR/Marketing team of or someone come up with an answer for this. Made it so much worse and I have such a bad feeling about them now.

Maybe some Ben Franklin will help them “It takes many good deeds to build a reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.” “Never ruin an apology with an excuse.”

Man fuck that. I dont expect a tech company to be great. But I have a 13” and was excited to see these keep getting better. But that response is just bullshit. There are legitimate business reasons aside from all of the many moral ones not to support bullshit reprehensible creators and by doing so publicly connect your company to them. If they can’t even see the dollar signs there… well… fuck em.

Maybe I’ll start quoting the Hyprland fucks in the framework forums and see if that language flies or gets taken down.

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.

Are you pricing it as supplied by Framework or the DIY where you can bring your own separately purchased RAM and storage? That could bring the price down. And you can start small and grow it later. And repair it if things go wrong. If you really want a Linux laptop I think DIY framework is the best option you’re going to get at the moment due to the repairability and sustainability. I think the trackpad is perfectly fine. I use headphones on a laptop so I barely remember what the speakers sound like. Or just stick with Apple if you prioritize hardware feel. That’s perfectly valid.
