I'll of course hold on to my current laptop for as long as it lasts, but a Framework will be up next.

Before you make that decision, please familiarize yourself with Framework's continued [support of](Framework supporting far-right racists? - General Topics - Framework ...) noted racist David Heinemeier Hansson despite the explicit and massive pushback on their forums.

If my dentist is a racist, should I not go to the dentist? Seems like letting my oral hygiene suffer because of it would be a case of cutting off my nose to spite my face. In your search for a life lived in ideologically purity have you found some acceptable alternative?

No, you should start looking for a new dentist.

In this case there is no other dentist. The closest you can get is a thinkpad, and they're still not quite as repairable as a framework from what I hear, and I'm not sure they don't donate to Trump himself for all I know, searching for lenovo controversies gave me this at a first glance

Lenovo has faced multiple controversies, primarily related to security issues, including pre-installed malware and backdoors in their devices, which have raised concerns about user privacy and data security. Additionally, the company has been criticized for its ties to China and alleged espionage risks, leading to bans from certain government networks in various countries.

So no racists maybe (guess we gotta ask them about Uyghurs and other non-Han Chinese people, but) possible security risks, pick your poison I guess.

Should i give my next possible dentist a questionnaire to find out their possible forbidden thoughts? How many thoughts are ok before moving on in my list of dentists?

[–] jabjoe@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago

Sounds like your dentists is a "Nazi bar".
