With the Linux Vendor Firmware Service serving more than 135 million downloads for Linux users updating their system and device firmware, LVFS has been working to get more hardware vendors to contribute either engineering resources or directly contributing annual dues as sponsors. Framework Computer is now the first one to have executed an agreement under these new sponsorship efforts.

Red Hat in employing lead developer Richard Hughes has contributed the most to LVFS/Fwupd's success, the Linux Foundation has also hosted the project since it has shifted into their umbrella, AMD's Mario Limonciello is among the significant contributors, and now Framework Computer is a new sponsor to the project.

No, I just don't give them any money. If I were to procure a Framework Laptop by means of a genie wish, I would still use it. I am probably using a ton of open source software right now made by people I can't stand. Also I can purity check and boycott whoever I like, whenever I like. I don't have to live by your rules. You do you.

So you'd rather buy a laptop from a vendor that gives price breaks to ICE, such as Dell and HP, or one indirectly owned by the CCP such as Lenovo? That's certainly a choice.

one indirectly owned by the CCP such as Lenovo?

You could say this about literally every Chinese owned company. Eliminate all Chinese and all American companies and there's not a lot of goods left you could purchase. Even less when it comes to goods made for other companies in China by Chinese firms.

That's exactly my point though. If I'm supposed to vote for the lesser of two evils, shouldn't I be applying that to the rest of my life?

Wait, are you arguing that the US is the lesser of two evils in this situation? Like, right now, this United States of America, the one that has a fascist regime in power?
