"...We’re honored to share with you that the Framework Laptop and our Lead Industrial Designer, Poyu Chen, received two awards for excellence in product design. These are the Red Dot: Best of the Best Award in the Product Design 2022 category, and the iF Design Award 2022. We are incredibly proud to see our first product receive such recognition from these respected international design competitions. 'This distinction is synonymous with ground-breaking design par excellence. Only a very small percentage of competition winners were awarded this special title, because a product needs to have a certain something in order to win this top award,' said Professor Dr. Peter Zec, founder and CEO of Red Dot. For us, that 'something' stemmed from our philosophy to make products that respect people and the planet. It will continue to serve as our North Star and we hope all of you (and our planet) will enjoy the Framework Laptop as much as members of the Red Dot and iF juries did."

Our mission is to remake Consumer Electronics to respect people and the planet. We’re reducing environmental impact by designing products to last longer through easy repair and upgrade, maximizing use of recycled and recyclable materials, and finding ways to extend life through re-use, and we’re always looking for opportunities to do better. Today, we’re excited to introduce an option to make your Framework Laptop fully carbon neutral through carbon capture and sequestration. To celebrate Earth Day, all Framework Laptop orders through this Sunday, April 24th have $100 USD of carbon capture included for free!

"We’re happy to share that we’ve released a GitHub repository of CAD and electrical documentation, all under an open-source Creative Commons license. In addition to 2D drawings of the Mainboard to help you design your projects, we’ve released two 3D-printable reference designs. One is a minimal VESA-mount holder that lets you attach the Mainboard to a monitor or TV, while the other is a fully featured small form factor desktop case. Both of these are easy to print on home 3D printers. Since these are open source, you are free to modify, remix, and redistribute them however you’d like to. All of this is a starting point for a broader set of open source Mainboard documentation to enable creation of fully compatible third-party Mainboards in the future."

Apparently you're not meeting their ideological purity standard.

I started looking into Lemmy after I installed LibreWolf and it was listed as one of their socials. I already use Mastodon and Reddit is one of the few proprietary social media sites I'm still on. Lemmy seemed like a no-brainer.

Doesn't the "block channel" option do that?

That's lovely but I'm more concerned about my internal organs

Most news about Ukraine is either going to be imperialist propaganda from the US or imperialist propaganda from Russia with occasional imperialist propaganda from the EU.

I agree with them but I don't think Israel has much room to talk.

I'm probably going to still use DuckDuckGo for now but this is such a stupid unnecessary move. Seeing some russian "disinformation" wasn't going to suddenly turn me into a Putin stan.

Is there anywhere I can find out more info on the Mastodon - Pleroma schism? This is the first I'm hearing of it.

Yes but Lemmy.ml is explicitly leftist. I accepted that some level of gate-keeping was to be expected. I just don't see the removal of "libs" to be a necessary part of that.
Simply because this Instance is for leftists doesn't mean "leftist" needs to be defined narrowly.
That's my two-cents anyways.

I second this. As long they're not right wing, I don't think we should be overly concerned with ideological purity.

Probably the same time I started turning leftist, in middle school I was sort of a tech-bro bleeding-heart libertarian but sometime in high school I started looking at socialist texts. My trust in silicon valley was pretty dependent on my trust in capitalism as a whole.

My knee-jerk reaction is either tech bro douche or privacy minded anti-goverment type.

I don't think you can really put the genie back in the bottle here. After the last month every country that borders russia and isn't allied with them is going to be reaching for NATO with both hands.

Edit: I have the feeling people fail to understand this comment ;)
Maybe attempt to expand upon it then. So that more people might come to understand it.

When I see MLM I can only think of those Multi-Level Marketing scams. :p
