I rarely post on this account, but since it's a serious matter, I will.

Framework Support has been honestly a nuisance to deal with, and in the end they shipped my laptop back to my abusive parents, something I clearly instructed them not to do, since I provided my current home address to them prior to even me shipping the laptop to them for repair.

This leaves me with effectively no choice but to look for other laptops, as this support experience has been detrimental to my mental health from the very start, and now I am also left, effectively, without a laptop and there's no way I can get that one back from my abusive household. It's as good as lost, alongside many other things I left there when I moved out.

This is how Framework treats their customers - someone could say "it was a mistake on their end, chill out" but I don't think they'll make up for it anyway.

maybe this could be avoided if academic papers came with some sort of short summary. if this were provided by the authors, then we wouldn't need to rely on expensive and unreliable tools to generate them. think how convenient it would be if the authors put these summaries right near the start of the paper!!

While you may have a point (or maybe not—it is guaranteed that if we move it, someone will not like the new positioning), your disrespectful attitude towards the group of altruistic volunteers giving you stuff for free, to use your own words, is what "sucks ass" here.

We would suggest you learn how to socially interact with other people in a respectful way and then visit this page to learn how you can help yourself while helping KDE:

Have a good day.

Element will apparently not accept contributions of "enterprise-level" features to their open source projects.

Update: Elements CEO has denied that this is a general policy, see the new comment.

#wayback 0.1 technical preview released: https://wayback.freedesktop.org/news/2025/07/23/wayback-0.1-released/

this is still highly experimental, and nothing should be considered “production ready” yet, but represents a significant amount of progress since the project was announced last month!
