    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.

    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“politics” out of their decisions, what they’re saying is that the **literal only selling point** of their machines is no longer valid.It’s incredibly sad to see, because I was a fan of Framework until I saw this atrocious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

    @amcooper Uhm we're still here and doing our best 🙂 But yeah I hope that Framework will listen to the criticism. Or, if there really aren't any alternatives, to make the orgs they sponsor adhere to a strict Code of Conduct that prohibits unsavory sentiments.

    No more vibecoding. The CRA (Cyber Resilience Act) is coming and you'd better be prepared. @pitrh has written a very good article about it, recommended read. The EU is doubling down hard on the nonsense we've had to tolerate way too long.#EU #CRA #CyberResilienceAct #Protection #Framework
