AliExpress: "Please contact the courier and ask them to provide official evidence that they did not deliver the package".

Why the FUCK would they do that?!?!

Continuing my perusal of Ageless Linux - which I still think is utterly brilliant - they have an interesting argument for not complying with the California age verification law, which is simply this:

- If the OS refuses to collect age data, no children can be identified.
- If no children are identified, no child can be affected.
- If no child is affected, the OS provider cannot be fined.

Or, more succinctly: the data you provide is exactly what the authorities will use to fine you.

They point out that the California Attorney General will likely not interpret the law so charitably, but that's the point - to make them justify this unjust law.

I see HelTec sells directly on their website now, at full MSRP of course.

I can see where this argument is going.

According to #AliExpress, the official outlet for #Heltec and #Lilygo, you cannot buy their private and secure off-grid radio boards unless you use Facebook/Telegram.

Order undelivered, refund denied, case closed.

I doubt they can even appreciate the irony of this asshole move.

My chinese mechanical Keyboard seems to stop working reliably (some keys give no input anymore). Removing and reinserting the Switches only helps for short amount of time.

Does anybody have recommendations for nice mechanical keyboards. Ideally something with a opensource firmware that I can use on Linux. Kits and self building would also be interesting.

No, you don't need 2.7GB of frameworks for a webform that saves entries to a flat database.

What the hell have they been teaching in IT school.

The Quiet Linux Principle

If you spend any time on Linux forums or YouTube, you'll hear that everything is broken, every distro is a "trap," and you must use the command line for everything. Here is the truth: People with working systems have nothing to say. Content creators thrive on controversy, divisive "tier lists,

This is a post about #systemd

This corporate monoculture extends to every aspect of life and business in #malaysia as well. You cannot do anything without using proprietary Office or Adobe file formats, even in situations where those formats make no sense at all.
