Ah this is true.
I've had pretty good luck with the random kitchen accouterment or phone case from Aliexpress but probably due to marketing, Temu seems to have overwhelmed several countries' postal systems so I'll also be steering clear. These companies (amazon included) all massively contribute to exploitation though so I wouldn't recommend going hog wild on them with 100 orders of random shit.
Just turns out that it's really cheap to make various types of garbage in China and ship it the cheapest possible way that takes 1+ months to arrive. Many of these products lack fancy packaging and marketing as well which also slashes costs.
Time for musicians to protest and riot*!

It sounds like you think that you know a lot about me. Please tell me more.
It's definitely not a self report to be defensive when no one said anything specifically about you before losing your shit and taking things personally.
What a hassle. Might actually have to be a present parent in your child's life. 😰
Yeah that's the unfortunate side. Given the situation it makes way more financial sense for the consumer to take the plane ticket unless they enjoy the novelty of a long train journey.
Also had a situation recently where just a 1.5 hour train trip became 6 hours due to it breaking down in a town with few bus stops and no other trains, probably due to summer tourism. It would be nice if the rail infrastructure were even further expanded and tickets made cheaper to make it more competitive.
Lived there for decades, have to agree.
You have very few rights as a worker. Pay is dogshit, even for better jobs. Life there sucks even if you're well off. Doesn't matter if you're rich, poor, left, right, black or white, it's gon' suck donkey balls being there.
Still made the best of my time there but now I've moved to Northern Europe and the difference is night and day.

Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely be using that.
Linux has come a long way with gaming fortunately. I daily drive fedora and use Proton-GE/Wine-GE and can play most games with the exception of some problem ones (Assetto Corsa & Rust, I'm looking at you).
Only time I ever fool with W11 these days is when I use Studio One for music or play on of the (very few) problem games some friends want me to join them on. I'd recommend checking out the Nobara distro for games.
Not surprising OSX is a better Windows in some ways. Switched to iPhone last summer for my daily driver and don't regret it. Best mobile experience I've had since my custom ROMs days on Android. Even started out setting up app folders to copy my Nova Launcher setup. That said, I'll be excited when more privacy respecting options come around to the mobile market for my next phone.
