  • It was very odd at my company. We were a Google Workspace company. Gmail, Meet, Drive, etc with our own servers for messaging, gitlab and some other things.

    Sure being Google based isn’t great either, but generally people were fine with it. Then the C suite said we were moving to Microsoft. Lots and lots of complaining, asking for justification, but no reason was given (not even cost). Today people are still cursing teams 18months later. We’re not in control of our own data (things get deleted every time somebody leaves, and permissions are generally a mess).








  • I think framework are worthy of support even though the company is American.

    1. Regardless of who you buy from… Manufacture including assembly is done in east Asia. That’s where most of your money is going.
    2. Framework are not tech giants. They’re a small company battling giants.
    3. The ethos of ownership, repair and upgrade needs supporting.
    4. They’ve been following through on their promises.

    So yes, I’m not buying US goods as much as I can also. I make an exception for Framework. They’re the resistance in an occupied nation.
