Brett KosinskiWell, if you've got an 11th generation Intel #Framework 13 (i.e. the first gen model) and you start encountering weird behaviours -- in my case failing to properly power on until it's plugged into AC and clock reset issues -- replace that CMOS battery! I got a freebie replacement from #FrameworkComputer and my flaky FW13 is now 100% back to normal.
I have to admit I was too chicken to get the battery replacement module... I do not trust myself with a soldering iron *that* much...
Luc@robhughes this might be the problematic sponsorship you're referring to.

I have had a #frameworkcomputer 13 for 4-5 years now and have generally been happy with the hardware. The upgrade path and community are pretty excellent.
Their support is a pain to deal with in my experience (~1 email per day, ~7-10 business days to go from initial warranty claim back to a working system, 2 claims in 4-5 years). I've also had two i7-1260p mainboards die on me, one just last week.
My verdict is I'm going to buy another board to see if the new AMD hotness keeps me in the orbit for another 5 years. I'm feeling the #Asahi gravity pulling me towards the impressive efficiency of an m2 Linux MacBook Pro though...
Framework supporting far-right racists?
Hi, I am not exactly sure how best to frame this, but recent events have got me wondering where exactly Framework, as a company, stands with regards to human rights and equality. If I understand correctly (and please do correct me if I am wrong), it seems like Framework has started sponsoring Hyprland: So I presume this is fact: Framework, as a company, has decided to sponsor a Wayland compositor who is well known to be led as a rather “toxic and hateful community”. Separately, but on the ...
@IslandUsurper People were making noise on the Fediverse because some of the open-source projects Framework sponsored had a conservative or far-right maintainer. One of them had discriminatorily moderated against someone in the LGBT (and had apologized, when I looked into it), and another one had written some questionable articles which many found racist. Framework supported their projects, but denounced the acts of the maintainers.
Rob HughesIt is time for a new #Linux laptop. My Librem 13 served me well for eight and a half years. Yesterday it was in my lap when a bouncy 60 pound dog bounced into my lap, and it now has problems I can't fix. Unfortunately #purism doesn't have the Librem 14 in stock.
Any recommendations? I am looking at #System76 models. I was interested in #FrameworkComputer but heard problematic things about the company's sponsorship choices.
Repairability is a priority!

blinry@oscherler Seems like it, right? But that's not the case for me (on a #FrameworkComputer 13).

N-gated Hacker News🎉 BREAKING: Framework Computer throws some cash at #Fwupd development, because who doesn't love a good firmware update? 🤖💸 Meanwhile, #Phoronix begs for premium subscriptions with all the subtlety of a sale at a used car dealership, because apparently Linux news doesn't pay the bills. 🤑✨

Framework Computer Now Sponsoring LVFS / Fwupd Development
With the Linux Vendor Firmware Service serving more than 135 million downloads for Linux users updating their system and device firmware, LVFS has been working to get more hardware vendors to contribute either engineering resources or directly contributing annual dues as sponsors
Shawn WebbSomething's going wrong again with my storage on the #Framework16. It took two full minutes to perform a git status on my ports tree.
Two minutes for an NVMe SSD to do git status is beyond unusable. It should (and usually does) return in less than five seconds.
This is the second brand spanking new NVMe SSD to become problematic (and/or die) in two months.
So, I guess, @frameworkcomputer will not be seeing any more money from me. I require stability in my hardware and #FrameworkComputer just cannot deliver. Unfortunate that this failure cost a few thousand US dollars--especially on our less-than-shoestring budget.
