I got my 13 a few months ago and it kind of sucks if I waited I could have gotten the 13 pro instead. However I won't throw it all away or sell it to buy the pro even though I could. I'm planning on upgrading one part a year (or whenever they break), starting with the keyboard cover, to get to the pro. What are your plans?

Maybe when they stop funneling money to fascists under the guise of big tent

They've funded DHH, a ~~British~~ Danish white supremacist, creator of ruby on rails and omarchy. They gave material support (hardware) to him and their argument was basically that it didn't go directly to him but to an organization he was a part of - they obscured this on the sponsorships page and idt omarchy's sponsorship was ever even added

Now it turns out they give money to a conference he made because he got banned from the original ruby on rails community for causing problems there

They couldn't even come out and say that they dont hold those views, threw a hissy fit on social media and then slightly adjusted their sponsorships page

What they should have said:

  1. We dont hold those kinds of views
  2. Anyone who is intolerant of others is not welcome
  3. We will not support this person or their projects financially due to their controversial views
  4. We will be more careful about selecting sponsorships in the future

They didnt do any of those 4 (maybe the 4th?)

I see how that is upsetting. Let's hope they get better since I really like the company.
