Look, we know System76 laptops are based as fuck. I mean, Coreboot, Open source firmware, PopOS, and a fucking open source mobo in the works, just so fucking based.

But man, these framework laptops look cool too. Completely modular and easy to work on. Looks like the company has proved it isn’t going to go under anytime soon.

I’m debating what to get once I feel like upgrading from the trusty ol ThinkPad. What would you buy?

    Different groups. The Freemasons, which is a real group, but not as occult as pop culture would have you believe, had more to do with the founding of the US. Freemasons also had connections with the French Revolution.

    The Puritans are the group you’re describing.

      Correct, I’m describing the puritans. Either way it has nothing to do with the current association of what “1776” looks like to outside parties which is what this is about - not a discussion on who did what a couple of hundred years ago.

        You are imposing a political view onto people who you have never talked to politics to for your own sake.

          For my own sake? All I did was state my opinion on the matter (and mention of others that I know share this same opnion) of what kind of mental imagry 1776 brings up as opposed to what the company seem to intend. What on earth do I get out of sharing such an opinion? It isn’t like I have shares in a competing brand where I will benefit from swaying people’s opnions on System 76.
