    The thing that #Framework doesn't seem to get is that they are a premium brand, and every premium brand is an identity brand. Identity brands don't work because they're cheaper, or better. They don't generally follow market rules. The work because people want to be associated with the values that the brand is associated with.Apple really pioneered this, making people think of them as the company for creative artist. They were able to sell hardware with absurd markups because they weren't selling hardware, they were selling an identity.Now, the thing is that all identities are political. If you have an identity brand, you have a political brand. You can't really dodge that.

    @Gina I would suggest to start by doing an audit on just how much OSS that one already is using. Both directly and indirectly.Then realise just how much of a blind user one has been for a long time already.Now ones own responsibility can be part of the solution too. Because this has also grown in the dark. Quite similar to how funding of important projects has been ignored, instead very much taken advantage of because one could.So, I'm arguing CoC and funding needs to be solved together.

    I don’t think #Framework understands that they _are_ a political brand. They don’t have the best products, and they don’t have the cheapest products. They have products that appeal to _political positions_. By trying to keep “politics” out of their decisions, what they’re saying is that the **literal only selling point** of their machines is no longer valid.It’s incredibly sad to see, because I was a fan of Framework until I saw this atrocious response.https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986/2

    Response from #Framework in their forums. Can be summed up as "We don't care if we're funding a Nazi as long as it helps further open source."With a dash of "Oh, I run the Nazi's distro at home."https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986/2#frameworkLaptop #DHH #floss
