Does anyone know what's going on at Framework?

One of my friends mentioned Omarchy is great but he said to not use it cause of it's creator and I only just stumbled onto this trashfire just today.

Using is promoting IMO, but to each their own.

Counterpoint: If there's anyone who doesn't promote Windows and actively dislikes it, it's Windows users.

One can promote and recommend something without using it.

That's not an opinion. That's factually incorrect.

Using something provides social proof, builds brand loyalty, and by sharing that you use it, generates publicity, however small.

So I'm going to go ahead and disagree with your assessment in its entirety, and judging by the tone of your response, I'll move on from interacting with you further.

Enjoy your day.

Using something provides social proof

No.

builds brand loyalty

What brand are you referring to? Do you know what this is? It's not a product, it's free software.

and by sharing that you use it

That would be promotion if you did that, but it's not part of using it.

I'll move on from interacting with you further.

That's probably smart.

Yeah dude, clearly not a brand here. Just... Branded merch. Clearly this is not a brand.

That would be promotion if you did that, but it's not part of using it.

You just did this very thing, demonstrating my point.

That's probably smart.

Yeah, it would have been. But I felt the need to address your completely incorrect statements.
