Perhaps we should have a referendum, so people can show their support in a democratic way...
Nobody is stopping people doing unpopular things to solve climate change. You just have no right to coerce others into that!

I did not determined anything with bottom lid. Perhaps they can answer motherboard is free floated, or crash zone is from sides, since it is in center.
My impression from my (very breef) test is that replaceable display frame is compromising display integrity. I also do not like how motherboard is accessed from top lid, rather then bottom lid. In many laptops (Sky Lake Dell XPS 13) keyboard is screwed together with motherboard, and is protecting motherboard a bit. Removable bottom lid provides crash zone, and bends independently from motherboard, on Framework it sends every stress directly into motherboard.
Form factor of an "ultrabook" has been around for more than decade (Mac, XPS 13, Zenbooks..). People know tradeoffs and what to expect.
This is a new form factor. If its rudged, perhaps provide some videos with crash tests.
- The only module option is a graphic card. There is no option for extra battery, extra CD-ROM, no module with 4x NVME SSD... I could put three batteries into my old lenovo
- it is build like a cheap plastic toy. It would not survive fall from table etc...
- No hot swap, you have to shutdown the system, fiddle with screws for 20 minutes and reboot. My regular laptop with removable lid has similar level of modularity.
I travel a lot, unlimited data, it serves as a hotspot anyway, so it kind of makes a sense. It has 12GB RAM and 1.2 TB storage. More power intensive servers (Syncthing) shutdown if battery is low.
Anyway, just for some context, previous Russian crew boarded ISS wearing Ukrainian colors.

Anyway, here is "official definition" from wikipedia:
> Since 1988, The Vegan Society gives two definitions of veganism:
> Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.
> — The Vegan Society, Definition of veganism, https://www.vegansociety.com/go-vegan/definition-veganism
> The first definition by The Vegan Society is accepted among ethical and environmental vegans and the second definition by The Vegan Society is accepted among dietary vegans.[88]
So I am not "dietary vegan", I am "ethical" and "environmental vegan". I only agree with the first definition.
Many people do that. You can be Jewish (by origin) but also Catholic (by faith). Nobody is going to throw you out, for not being religious enough! Not many people go to church nowadays, they are happy for every paying visitor.
I am an agnostic though, I do not care.
> and it's not 'vegan
Not everyone is going to live up to, your strict "1869" version of veganism. I am 85% vegan, and I like rounding up.
> Vegan doesn't mean 'can't own pets
Person can select an animal by laundry list of criteria (sex, breed, color, size, temperament, age...). Put into cage regularly whenever convenient. Keep it alone in tiny apartment for 12 hours. Even castrate it to make their life easier... And somehow it is equatiable relationship, with no exploitation!
I gave you some examples where "meaning" shifted so much, it no longer means anything.
> Catholics adopted in 1869
No, current position of the church is pretty clear. If I would go around harrasing some girl, telling her parents she had secret abortion... Pretty much the same situation I have with vegans!
> So, you lie about your own identity because you want to fit in with people
No, I do not lie. I am vegan, just not very strict one.
Some people from my group own (and exploit) animals. This is the same situation!
> who you fundamentally disagree with
I do not disagree with anyone. We are never going to have this sort of discussion.
Yandex would lose their Russian business in any case.
My contract says "my place of work" is at my home and I work remotely. It is illegal to move employees thousands of kilometres.
Company should not expect some sort of honest answer to this illegal action. Employees should not fall on sword and quit, they should get fired with compensation etc... Also in my country if you quit yourself, you lose right for unemployment support!
But nobody has a right to harass me, just because they seen me eating meet outside of my social circle!
I have no GP (non accepts new patients), getting any sort of prescription or referral for a specialists is a big hustle.
It took me 5 years to find a dentist that accepted new patients. Now she is on maternity leave for a year, so I will have to do root cannal in Turkey (like 3td main reason for this trip).
I had to visit ER with a relative, we spend 12 hours waiting for treatment!
There are Muslims who drink alcohol, Christians who visited church years ago...
I don't always have a choice about what I eat.
Still true today.
I am vegan who eats meat on Saturdays. Don't get me started about hate, and policing I get from other vegans! Every one has to step in to protect sanctity of this "cult"!
