    Giving money to open source projects on which you rely on for your business is good practice. While I’ve just now heard about DHH and his political views, I think it is important that the overall mission is to make Linux (and open source software) a mainstream alternative to proprietary solutions. As long as this is not hurting the mission I am personally fine with some unusual partnerships. The alternative is a world where Windows and macOS rule the world.

    Additionally open source has always been about stepping up, so contributing or throwing money the other way are always an option. I personally donate to many projects I use. I mostly feel that my political views align with them.


  • I own a Framework laptop and had a dead pixel. I replaced it (within warranty) in about 15min. I could as well buy a new higher resolution display for that same laptop if I wanted to. This is new and is an improvement over my Thinkpad, where I could “only” upgrade/replace RAM, SSD and the battery.
