Due to the new tariffs that came into effect on April 5th, we’re temporarily pausing US sales of a few of our base Framework Laptop 13 systems (Ultra 5 125H and Ryzen 5 7640U).

For now, these models will be removed from our US site.

We will continue to provide updates as we have them.

Secrecy is the keystone to all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy and censorship. When any government or church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man who has been hoodwinked in this fashion; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, whose mind is free. No, not the rack nor the atomic bomb, not anything. You can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.

President @DonaldJTrump is going to impose tariffs on EU goods and I believe it might ring in the beginning of the end of the European Union.

Why? It will bring back ✨bilateral trade treaties✨ and the lie of having to be part of the EU out of economic “necessity” will crumble.

What a great story to start off the day. lol.

On Saturday Elon Musk sat in his personal jet and tested out Starlink’s in-air WiFI by streaming some Path of Exile 2. Less than five minutes into the stream, someone in game chat asked him to “jerk off mr trump so he dies of a heart attack!” For the next hour and 40 minutes, the world’s richest man frowned his way through a livestream while people yelled at him. 404media.co/elon-musk-is-hound…

“Elon. It’s me, Ashley St. Claire. I have no other means of contacting you so I bought PoE2 early access. Please pay your child support. Thank you Elon

ELON ARE YOU A SMART FELLA OR A FART SMELLA

YOU HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS AND WILL DIE ALONE.

At about an hour in the stream, we saw Musk’s login screen and a list of his individual characters and their names. His level 46 amazon is “AMAZON_DOT_COM_.” A level 75 invoker is “BeLessDumb.” His level 7 monk is “DOESNTMATTERANYWAY.” Another invoker he’s got at level 100 is “FatalismFTW.”

Here's the raw truth people: if manufacturing is coming back to the USA it's not going to employ many humans. Americans do not want to do factory work. It is considered dehumanizing.

When the billionaires bring back manufacturing it will be as automated as possible. So put your dollary-doos into robotics stocks, because that's where the real money is going to flow.

We'll build it in America. But still with Chinese robots.

A former law clerk to the federal judge who dismissed the classified documents case against President Donald Trump is now serving in the Justice Department directly under Trump's former defense lawyer Todd Blanche, who is now serving as the nation's number-two law enforcement official.

Hi, we are Anna, Berta and Clara! But you can call us the Fediverse Chicks 😎

We are proud one-week-old Spanish chicks and have neither been to Poland nor Toronto. 🐤

We're not really that big into medicine, but we're hoping to get into AxWax's vegetable field someday!

I feel like I need to add a disclaimer to everything I post about the Trump admin & how dangerous shit is in the US saying "I know it wasn't all good and safe before," but I also don't feel like I should have to do that.

Like border control: they are fucking cops. They are not and never have been good or safe. Nothing I say should ever be taken to mean that I think they were.

I don't really believe in borders, so no, I never have put my faith in the people whose job it is to enforce them.

Google is still shadow banning and Cross Platform Censoring!

Everything I've posted today is a pain because, I have to Post twice clear the cash after each post!

Google censors by tracking everything, then making it harder to repost, hoping people get frustrated and give up.

GOOGLE IS NOT A FREE SPEECH BROWSER!

It should be broken up!

where did this female sensei cope come from?

“Trump Is Unlikely To Pull All US Troops Out Of Central Europe Or Abandon NATO’s Article 5”, but he’s definitely “Pivoting (back) to Asia” in order to more muscularly contain China, which will have consequences for European security. Although Russia has no intent to attack NATO countries, many of these same countries sincerely fear that it does, which leads to them formulating policy appropriately. This (false) threat perception heightens their concerns about the US’ gradual disengagement from NATO.

To make matters worse, Reuters cited five unnamed sources to report that the US chided the EU for its military-industrial plans, particularly those which relate to production and procurement within the bloc. They’re presumably connected to European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen’s “ReArm Europe Plan” that calls for members to boost defense spending by 1.5% on average for a collective €650 billion more in the next four years and provide €150 billion worth of loans for defense investments.

This bold program will strengthen the EU’s strategic autonomy but will likely come at the cost of accelerating the US’ disengagement from NATO. EU-produced equipment might not be interoperable with American equipment, which could complicate contingency planning. The bloc wants the US to intervene in the event of a military crisis with Russia, yet the US might think twice if its commanders can’t easily take control of European forces in that event.

The US might also be less likely to do so if the EU reduces its reliance on American equipment like the F-35s that are rumored to have “kill-switches”. These could hypothetically be activated if the EU tried provoking a conflict with Russia that the US didn’t approve of for whatever reason. If the EU becomes emboldened to do precisely that and thus becomes a major strategic liability for the US, then the odds of the US intervening in its support would dwindle, thus leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy.

At the same time, some countries like the Baltic States, Poland, and Romania – which occupy NATO’s strategic eastern flank with Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine and are much more pro-American than their Western European counterparts – will likely remain within the US’ military-industrial ecosystem. This could therefore serve to retain American influence along the EU’s periphery, keep those countries out of the bloc’s military-industrial ecosystem, and thus hamstring plans for a “European Army”.

Nevertheless, the US would also do well to share some defense technology with Poland and agree to at least partial domestic production of its large-scale purchases, which could transplant a portion of the American military-industrial ecosystem to Europe for easier export to other countries. That could in turn keep Poland from pivoting to France or at least relying more on it to balance the US like the ruling liberal-globalist coalition might do if its candidate wins the presidency during the next elections in May.
