alt Hacker NewsThis is nice, but I still will not consider a Framework as long as they continue supporting DHH and his projects. This post has a good summary of why he's someone I choose not to support: https://tekin.co.uk/2025/09/the-ruby-community-has-a-dhh-pro...
I regret my purchase and would buy a different brand in the future.

I'm not a huge fan of Ruby on Rails either, but despite this I'm pretty happy with my Framework laptop.
Friend. You want to get off that high horse. I just bought one of framework's competitors ( long story, but basically doa item and I didn't feel like waiting until new year's batch is up ), but this incessant, childish insisting on focusing on something other than tech makes me want to do the opposite in the future.
How about we judge things based on tech merit and not some pre-ordained acceptability scale?
So which angelic vendor are you purchasing your hardware from instead? Do tell...
I personally supported MNTRE by purchasing a new Reform and will order a Reform Next, but it's not yet a substitute for anything state of the art. (I'm not sure Framework laptops are even competitive in that space either, certainly not in terms of price:perf)
Nobody cares so get over it. The RoR sponsorship was a no brainer until DHH decided to post something stupid a week later. What are they supposed to do about it now?
Sounds like you have a poitical clash with DHH. You are of course free to choose how you spend your money.

I think framework made a misstep with this spornsorship deal. I still think they should be supported in their mission and you don't have to regret your purchase.
