funny how non-profit organizations like freebsd's endorse venture capitalists like framework's. the "modularity" in the framework is a good step in hardware design, but what good does it do if it's just proprietary and closed hardware? how is it useful when it's centralized like any other manufacturer? oh, and i forgot the proprietary UEFI firmware on the non-chromebook models and non-removable batteries. the MNT Reform is a lot more promising.

I hope this is a troll comment, if not I need to say this:

Developing libre and open hardwares aren't easy, not only Framework but others like System76 or Pine64 also failed doing so.

Also if one company want to make their hardware, they have to go through various copyright and patent holders which is almost impossible.

Decentralized hardware making doesn't work, it costs too much even with open architectures like RISC-V

@natsume_shokogami @frameworkcomputer @FreeBSDFoundation

it's obviously not a troll comment, and i fail to see why you would assume so.

>"Developing libre and open hardwares aren't easy"

this is just absolute non-sense, i could literally say the same for any piece of libre and ethical code, this is no excuse. the hardware industry is pretty much controlled by big corpo and it is really hard to liberate manufactured electronics, but framework's design is not looking into that direction

(1/3)

Indeed it's extremely difficult, as it requires rebuild everything of hardware manufacturing, copyright and patent laws,... from the ground up; even though I think it's better to Framework to be more transparent and more cooperative with the community, I think of Framework is more of a saying of engineers against anti-consumer tactics in the industry and a pragmatic approach more than MNT Reform or anything.
