This person is ... hard to believe ...
"Hi, I’ve just seen your feedback regarding this item and I want to sincerely apologize for any confusion caused. This software was not from a pirate source—it’s a long-discontinued title. Once I realized it wasn’t GNU, I immediately delisted it from my shop. It’s no longer for sale, and I’d really appreciate it if you could kindly consider revising your feedback."
What a piece of work. Incredible.
A PSA about the #ebay seller "digistoremarket" they purport to sell #vintage #software like #os2 and such, but they just send you a CDR with pirated floppy images.
The listing does not make this clear at all, I ended up getting a full refund from ebay, so they handled it well, but the seller is still on the site selling the same scam software.
#Yodel seem to be sending marketing email for every ebay seller I've ever bought from who shipped via them.. I don't need to know many, many times that you are rebranding to #InPost NOR did I ever sign up for marketing.
I bought something on #ebay and someone happened to send me a parcel using you, why did you add me to your marketing!

Uhhhh
Last year, Amazon wracked up $14.2 billion over a two-day period with their Prime Day sale. Amazon Prime "Day" 2025 will be a four-day event, no doubt still hoping to break their record of how much sweat-shop garbage they can peddle to an increasingly incredulous consumer base. Jeff Bezos, who recently spent an estimated $20 million on his lavish Venetian wedding, doesn't need your money. Resist temptation and scratch your shopping itch by giving a new home to a pre-loved book instead!
Firestorm Books is hosting a book swap on July 9th at our shop in Asheville, NC. 📚♻️
No limit on the number of books you can bring or take, just be considerate of what you bring (don't bring what you think is "trash") or take (don't take aaaaalll the good books)! You're welcome to hang out and read while you sip a complimentary mocktail.
And yes, you can still participate even if you don't have books to contribute!
#BookSwap #ReallyReallyFree #CoopsNotCops #FeministBookstore #FirestormCoop (-E)
@firestorm Or instead of supporting Bezos, why not try something local from the Fedigiftshop?
perhaps even mine??

I've been in love with this one for months, years, decades. Perhaps one day, when the moons align, I'll grab four Pentium Pro "Black Edition" CPUs and as much RAM as its mezzanine cards can handle, and ... well, you know how the rest of the vintage hardware story goes. Beautiful. The only concern is, "wtf is it doing on the EMI static-charged carpet for the photos?"
