Wish all the companies I bought from called me a zombie from the abyss 🥰
This is not the first time Malibal made an appearance.
Last time I heard about them, they shafted the CoreBoot people then also banned the several countries from doing business with them.
Malibal is legitimately insane.

This is so hilariously unhinged. Fun starts at “Geographical Restrictions”
Hey, at least they promote Lemmy!
Lmao, they prohibit anyone using any Google device or service, any Apple device or service and any (active) Reddit user.

If they have the ability to accurately detect/enforce any of that, I’d be way more impressed with their fingerprinting techniques than any of the hardware they’re selling
Well that was a crazy read. Never seen a company act this way before. Sounds like a very small operation. Unfortunately their products don’t appeal to me at all, I’d much rather buy a Framework.
Fortunately
What in the fuck?
It just kept going. Calling customers “zombies”… bannung people from using chrome to access website, banning “regular website users”… banning particular countries for pettt grudges with like, a few individuals???
I thought the article would end there. It just kept goooooooooinnnnggggggg
Probably just shitty ass company. honestly their act like ass to everyone tell me is bis red flag company
This hurts to read because of how badly written it is. Do you not read what you’ve written?
It makes me sad that you had to spend so much time with this topic. But thank you for publishing it ❤️
Oh no I’m not the person who runs the blog. I just saw it posted on the Tumblr Linux community and wanted to repost it here. Happy to share it ofc! 😄
First I thougt its just a prank by a bored social media intern, but it looks like the whole company is built on this insane absurd communication. It was a hilarious read :D
how the hell are they still in business lmao
As i understand it, the OEM business has razor thin margins as it is. This seems like an aggressively unsustainable business practice, to the point that it’s making me wonder what their game is…
I kind of like the utter insanity that seems to be their norm. Not going to buy anything from them but still.
Lmao theres gotta be a timeline in which Malibal ships to the DPRK and ONLY the DPRK
That company is probably owned by This guy.
Yet another micro-celebrity whose 3 section wikipedia page has one third of it dedicated to “Sexual misconduct allegations”
For the record Veitch is just a
comedianalleged rapist with absolutely no affiliation with MALIBAL. MALIBAL is run by Matthew Plott as listed here on their site.
Wait Nicco Loves Linux isn’t it that KDE dev?
Yeah he’s a KDE dev and has an actually quite good YouTube channel that really should have more subscribers than it does
Yeah, they’re batshit
finally, the official laptop of schizophrenia
Need to install templeOS on it
I like how they take a moral stance against Apple and Google, but then proudly display Boeing and the US Air Force as customers.
That’s the wildest company that I’ve ever seen
As a KDE person, the random potshot at KDE for absolutely no reason is what got me lol.
