josevnz,

I got a sales pitch from a vendor who sells Raspberry PI and other cool components. Their website doesn't work on Linux.

I told them that I would love to buy stuff from them but I cannot see their products. And If I need support, I won't be able to get in touch.

They told me to stop complaining and use my phone to buy stuff from them.

So guess who is not going to buy hardware that runs Linux from the website that doesn't support Linux.

@josevnz wow, this takes the word "hypocrite" to a whole new fucking level.

I'd love to get a name here to pin them high up on a wall of shame of sorts...

A lot of red flags there 😂

rye,

@josevnz what does it mean when a website “doesn’t work on Linux”? Is there a specific feature of the site that Linux, as a whole, is somehow incapable of comprehending? Major browsers such as Firefox maintain feature parity between OSes, so this is unlikely to be the case.

Sesrching the general problem reveals this is more likely a problem with your setup than their site; e.g. https://superuser.com/questions/213264/cant-access-select-websites-on-linux-but-can-on-windows

If this is the case, their response seems correct, even if it’s a little rude

@josevnz how do you fuck up building a website so bad it doesn’t run on Linux?! Having errors for one particular browser isn’t great but understandable a whole OS is simply wild to me.

@josevnz I'd ask you who it was, but I imagine I'll find out soon enough when their website won't load for me.
Hopefully the "stop complaining" guy is just their village idiot and it's not company policy.
