I was really looking forward to getting a @frameworkcomputer laptop, now I'm glad we found out the duck was a Nazi before I got one.

@oblomov @frameworkcomputer I've been given names of several companies with similar alleged aims. Only one passed scrutiny from me, and that was definitely not framework.
I guess they don't actually want our money. -

@oblomov I have the one remaining company in my bookmarks somewhere, I'll look for it.

@oblomov OK, the only one passing my initial scrutiny was @tuxedocomputers - I haven't checked recently, but you might want to have a look and form your own opinion anyway.
I think they ship from Germany, so no particular difficulty getting things to Italy (or to France, in my case). -

@oblomov@sociale.network @Uilebheist@polyglot.city @tuxedocomputers@linuxrocks.online it's not a direct competitor to #framework or @tuxedocomputers@linuxrocks.online , but @PINE64@fosstodon.org has always passed my vibe-check too.

@danso @PINE64 @tuxedocomputers @oblomov On a quick look, it passes mine too.
But I'm not convinced by Linux on ARM, and as for RISC-V, it's much better but I found things which don't work on it (yet). So for me it would be a "take note, but not now". -

No, pine64 devices are not playing in the same league as #framework or @tuxedocomputers@linuxrocks.online at all. They're closer to being "toys for tinkerers" than productivity machines.
That said, I bought a PineTab2 and (now that hackers have got the wifi working) it's actually serviceable, especially at its price.
PS: Sorry @pine64@treehouse.systems , I linked the old fediverse account... leaving fosstodon for treehouse.systems certainly is a green flag.

I am already familiar with the @pine64 products (bought the “double PineTime” kit) and yeah, I'm a big fan of the company and their products, but they are definitely not the kind of products that I'd look for to replace my current laptop.

@danso @mntmn @Uilebheist that's also not in the spec range I need, but it's also a very interesting project, thanks for making me aware of it.

I’ve received many reactions to my latest blog post. Some constructive, others critical, but all useful to better understand different perspectives.
However, two recurring dynamics emerged in the comments (mostly outside the Fediverse).First: I didn’t mention any names. I understand the disappointment, but naming them wouldn’t have helped anyone. Before publishing, I did my homework - that draft had been ready for over a year - and I even asked some of the people involved.
They took action privately to warn friends and colleagues, with good results, but they didn’t want public exposure. Many years have passed, and that company no longer has the same relevance anyway.
Some understood my choice (naming them could have meant serious legal trouble for me), but others started quoting US laws and amendments to "prove" that I could have safely done it. What many don’t realize is that the world isn’t the United States - not everyone plays by the same legal rules. And even if I won such a case, it would still mean wasted time, energy, and peace of mind. Cui prodest?Second: "Stories like that can only happen in Italy because there are so many small, family-run businesses".
That one annoyed me more - especially because it often came from Italians themselves.
First of all, I’ve worked in several countries, and I never said the story was about an Italian company.
Second, small businesses are not a problem - they’re a strength. My experience taught me that large corporations tend to turn employees into replaceable parts of a giant machine. Customers become faceless numbers, almost subjects rather than clients. At some point, a company’s need for endless growth becomes a trap - not a service that enriches people’s lives, but a "necessary evil".
And that, to me, is the real danger: believing that bigger automatically means better - in tech, and in life.
I wrote about this a few months ago, and I still believe it even more strongly today: https://my-notes.dragas.net/2025/06/09/macbook-pro-vs-car-why-small-businesses-still-win/#ITNotes #BlogPost #TechCulture #SmallBusiness #Writing #Reflections #PersonalThoughts

Visto che sono stato accusato di essere comunista (non qui ma su altri social), ho cominciato a fare la lista di quelli di voi che finiranno nel gulag, appena faremo la rivoluzione.
