Like resisting arrest when there’s no legal reason you were being detained or arrested?

They exist but are probably not compatible with your board.

I’m waiting for this to release soon https://keeb.io/products/sinc-lm-kit

keeb.io has split traditional keyboards for ergonomics and posture, without you needing to relearn how to type. and the PCBs on boards like the SINC have multiple switch layout options due to very creative design (ANSI and ISO possible on the same board). I’ve been using this for a few months now, mostly because I wanted the split spacebar. The better posture it brings has been great too.

“Delivered Duty Paid” if you have that option with the website. The times I’ve had to deal with import duties, DHL and Fedex baked in the customs fee, so that I just pay upfront with the shipping costs. I’ve done this when receiving orders to Japan and to the US.

Otherwise I agree, its annoying. At least the times I’ve been hit with duties, I could still get my item from the delivery driver, and either pay on the spot, or pay online first and then schedule the delivery.

Many of the vendors ship globally even if they aren’t based in Europe.

They wont ship to my locale and actively block frieight forwarders, otherwise I would happily give them $10k for a couple high end computers.

Great stuff! Please do linux phones too!

Food for thought: Replace Your Range With a Modular Kitchen

I want a new shiny thinkpad but I don’t want the stupid copilot button that I’ll need to reprogram when I install linux.

Let’s make one here in fediverse

Why are we posting 4 year old drama? This is from November 2021…

How does this work with all the plastic surgery going on and people changing their faces for vanity?

Furilabs also has a linux phone.

Thank you

Why do you make baseless claims like that? They refunded everyone when they didn’t meet their funding goals, and also committed to creating a special edition phone in the next campaign for everyone who supported. You can see the campaign here on indiegogo

Edit: Librem and Purism the controversial ones, not Liberux

This linux phone by Liberux seems like the most promising option in the near future. The crowdfunding campaign failed this summer but the project is still moving forward, just waiting to hear more from them @Liberux

Also GrapheneOS but not sure how far along any of this is: “We plan to partner with OEMs to have devices produced meeting all our requirements, providing additional privacy/security features beyond them and ideally shipping with GrapheneOS rather than massively lowering our standards.”

Edit: here’s a recent post from GrapheneOS from August 2025:

We’re working on GrapheneOS support for future generations of a subset of the device models provided by a major Android OEM. Their current devices don’t provide the updates and security features we need, but they’re capable of doing it. We’re working with them towards providing this so we can support their devices. They may end up officially selling devices with GrapheneOS as an option but that’s not the bare minimum and it can be successful even without initially having that.
