Comment on Is Framework an ethical company?

I think context matters here. There currently isn’t any outwardly unethical behavior on their behalf and they’re building products that are designed to be maintained and upgraded, which is a big step forward when you consider things like e-waste and protecting the environment. Those products still contain materials that through mining or producing, result in pollution and potentially underpaid labor in large factories.
I would say the scales tip to them being currently more ethical than competitors in the same space. That could change at any time and I’m sure there’s stuff we don’t know that some would frown upon.

Meh, still better than virtually all other computer OEMs by net political harm done. I’ll take one nutcase over companies sucking off a entire borderline fascist government.

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.
