Malibal and Coreboot Have a Disagreement
- ghostoftiber 2y agoLaptop reseller Malibal who boasts laptops with Linux support has picked a fight with the coreboot project and blacklisted several countries and US states from receiving their laptops. The "why don't you ship to" links in their KB are also lulzy: https://portal.malibal.com/kb/c2/payment-shipping/ https://portal.malibal.com/kb/c2/payment-shipping/

- throwaway313373 2y ago> We no longer ship to Colorado due to the actions of System76's Principal Engineer (https://www.system76.com https://www.system76.com), Pop_OS! Maintainer (https://pop.system76.com https://pop.system76.com), and Redox OS BDFL (https://www.redox-os.org https://www.redox-os.org) named Jeremy Soller (https://soller.dev https://soller.dev). Source: https://portal.malibal.com/kb/a1064/why-dont-you-ship-to-colorado/ https://portal.malibal.com/kb/a1064/why-dont-you-ship-to-col... Err, what? I really can't follow the logic here. What does some dude have to do with Colorado.
- knowitnone 2y agoOh no! What will we ever do? haha. So Malibal tried to use free software, couldn't do it themselves, tried to get someone else to do it for cheap, and complains while not even paying anybody. Sounds like a cheap company that will cut corners at ever turn(pun intended).
