    The question was are they moral. They’re not. The fact no one else is either doesn’t excuse that

      No ethical consumption under capitalism aside.

      Morality can be viewed through multiple lenses, I would argue that in terms of generally trying to support FOSS & reducing e waste theybare acting far mote morally than anything akin to HP & DELL.

        And I’d argue that positioning their company as the moral choice makes their decision to support bigots worse than if they’d never positioned themselves that way in the first place. Which makes them basically no different to HP or DELL.

            Nope. I’m not telling anyone to avoid Framework or anyone else.

            But they’re not the “ethical” choice. They’re another shitty company doing shitty things that hurt people. That should be a factor in your purchasing decision, but it shouldn’t be the whole of it, because it’s pretty much impossible to exist without supporting companies like that in some way or another.
