Probably referring to Framework's somewhat puzzling support of DHH, who openly supports far-right racists.

As to the BIOS issue, it should be noted:

Framework’s statement to Ars says:

… in addition to replacing in-warranty Mainboards, we are making exceptions for out-of-warranty replacements where we can confirm a stable-release BIOS update caused the board to become non-bootable.

Framework is also introducing a “Crisis Recovery Mode” BIOS functionality to enable a path for failed updates to be directly recoverable.

Oh God this is great, what is it from?

The qualitative aspect is also something I was wondering about. I wouldn't even say that men don't have intimate friendships. Men can have very intimate relationships, but they're intimate in a different way. I could also well imagine that men have less of those intimate friendships.

Fully agree that poverty plays a significant role in loneliness, or at least, the analysis adds up in my view. I've also found that in many cases where some other societal denominator is mentioned as a reason for people being worse off, poverty plays a significant, often more significant, factor.

What worries me is what is addressed in the first few paragraphs - the way the male loneliness epidemic, real or not, is talked about in an almost mocking tone, and that just being accepted by society at large as normal. I also know that men are much more likely to die by suicide, and the supposed male loneliness epidemic has often been brought into connection with that. If it's not that, what is it? I mean, I have my guesses, but that's another story. I just wish the author would have looked at that angle a little closer, because I feel there's a significant piece of the puzzle missing there somewhere.
