I have now more actively started an internal push towards buying @frameworkcomputer laptops because from an environmental perspective pretty much anything else is mute. And from a performance / upgrade perspective, mute. Perhaps initial price. But compared to much else it's not that much more expensive, especially when considering what you get.
Let's see if I can make a difference. I know I'm due an upgrade, will try and get myself another Framework 13 with the new Ryzen chipset. Would probably pee a little of excitement if that happened.

I’ve been using Debian Trixie in testing on my Framework 13 laptop for several months now, and it’s been working very well. For what I do, it’s actually been working better than the officially supported distros I’ve tried on it.
Debian 😻
New #laptop #computer at work, which will replace my > 12 yo Lenovo Thinkpad X220. It's a #Framework#Laptop13.
Installed #Debian 13 #trixie. So far looks good, only #hibernate did not work at first. Had to switch off #SecureBoot.
And this is the good news of the day: #DebianInstaller by default keeps a RAM-size #swap partition again, which is needed for #hibernation. This was broken for ≈ two Debian releases, but finally fixed.
Because I wouldn't expect a local council to be the right people to design laptops, right enough. But grApple are literally the last company I'd give money to if I was buying one new, precisely *because* they such an autocracy.
As well as all the reasons @codinghorror explained here back in 2008;
https://blog.codinghorror.com/why-doesnt-anyone-give-a-crap-about-freedom-zero/
... among many, many others, like these;
https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/apple
So who would I give that money to instead?
(1/?)
If I was buying a new laptop, instead of giving money to grApple, I'd probably give it to a more collaborative company, like;
* #Framework @frameworkcomputer)
... or one of the companies listed here;
For a laptop that serves the interests of me and mine. Unlike grApple's digital handcuffs, or those of anyone still collaborating with BorgSoft's enshittification of the once-open "PC" (x86).

🥳 New Kitten Release
• Improved Markdown parser
Kitten’s JavaScript tagged template strings (`kitten.html`) no longer fail to render as expected when interpolated values are used inside of Markdown where the Markdown render changes source order.
So, for example, the following will now work correctly, whereas, previously, the link source and link text would have been erroneously flipped:
kitten.html`
<markdown>
[${linkText}](${linkSource})
</markdown>
`
To implement the fix, I’ve moved Markdown rendering outside of the main render loop and into a pre-render stage and implemented a simple Markdown render tree that non-recursively handles all Markdown region renders.
More details: https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/branch/main/CHANGELOG.md#2025-07-21
Run `kitten update` to update your dev machines. Your deployment servers will automatically update in the next few hours.
You can learn more about and install Kitten from the Kitten web site:
https://kitten.small-web.org/
Enjoy!

The Framework 16 laptop detects when it's booted partially assembled. It boots into a special mode to walk you through completing the assembly. The screen updates to reflect your progress and prompt the next step. This requires no tools to complete. Impressive! Watch:

Hey! I've been creating a #game #engine #framework in #vala
Its ECS based, and its called Veggies (eat your veggies!). 🥦
My reasoning for this framework is to have a game framework alternative to #csharp. I'm not liking the encroachment #microsoft has over #gamedev and #indiedev
The video is the well known bunny mark demo. Renders up to 1600 bunnies before being under 30 fps. Still needs a lot of optimization.
I'm taking ideas from frameworks like #pygame, #pine, #FNA and #excaliburjs
My simple game framework 'Veggies' running a very simple Bunnymark sample (this renders a bunch of bouncing rotated and tinted bunnies to test performance of the engine in general).
Currently it can render up to 16000 bunnies before dropping below 30 FPS in my machine. Not very performant, but I haven't donde any optimizations yet.

Just played through DOGWALK, the Creative Commons-licensed game that was made by Blender Studio and created using Blender and Godot.
It’s absolutely, remarkably gorgeous! And plays great on my #framework 13 at native resolution with controller/rumble support. It’s a 15-30 minute game and completely free, so it’s well worth your time!
