I was recently looking at Framework for a new x86 laptop, as I believed the company to be reasonably aligned with my values (e.g. pro-repair, pro-FOSS, pro-humanity). But others have warned me that they are now supporting Hyprland, Omarchy, etc. They support these projects led by people who hold alt-right views, in the name of building a ābig tentā coalition.
The problem, however, is that building a ābig tentā coalition, by design, requires some form of value alignment.

Alpine is a ābig tentā, for example, but people who want to harm members of our community arenāt welcome.
This isnāt hard.
Needless to say, I wonāt be buying a Framework laptop anytime soon, which makes me sad.
