With #Framework shouting from the rooftops that they prefer to have no values at all, maybe it's time to look into alternative computer vendors with values similar to those originally ascribed to Framework.
There's, of course, @mntmn (https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next) based in Germany which is probably the only one that's in the same league (and probably well beyond) in terms of modularity and hackability. It's a bit of a hacker boutique, though: unusual hardware at rather steep prices - partially _because_ it's so unusual.
A bit more "standard" and with that more affordable, too, there's @slimbook@linuxrocks.online in Spain (https://slimbook.com/en/upgrade-repair), @starlabssystems in the UK (https://de.starlabs.systems/collections/parts), and @novacustom in the Netherlands (https://novacustom.com/cat/spare-parts/).
While they don't bring that "replace everything" ethos, they're small laptop vendors that ramped up from "resell China white label laptops" to doing more and more design and production on their own.
In terms of modularity, they pass the bar that the big vendors fail: they don't solder and glue everything into a single blob that becomes an all-or-nothing deal when components break. Instead, they even sell individual parts on their store.
They're not quite at the Framework-level of modularity, but I think they all deserve a shoutout for moving the needle in the right direction when it comes to sustainability.
(honorable mention for @system76, who at least mention keeping your device useful for longer at https://system76.com/laptops, encouraging battery replacements and other maintenance, even if they don't have a spare parts section in their shop)

shanselman@hachyderm.ioMinor medical situation on the flight and it’s cool that my wife is able to jump up and help out when they ask for a licensed medical professional.
One day someone will need a regular expression so I stay ready.

foone@digipres.clubWell, I'd like to at least extend my thanks to Framework for finally helping me get over my disappointment that they didn't hire me last year.

I've found a lot of data that I thought lost.
PSA: Make backups, AND regularly check that those backups actually work (that actually can be restored).

foone@digipres.clubIt's important to make your network outage maps as complex a web 7.0 site as you can manage, which requires as much Javascript and images to download as possible. This'll make sure it takes a fucking age to load on slow overloaded cellular links when there actually is an outage
