There was a company once specilized in delivering boxes full of the shit (meaning feces) of your choice to your chosen special person, it was called something like "shitexpress"

Depends, in US (and now UK maybe too) I'd agree on yes, but in EU I wouldn't know, since even selling 2nd hand licence is allowed and perfectly legal, and also any shit written in an EULA doesn't make it legal no matter how small is written and how many times someone might have signed it.

Anyway for any EU citizen here just get in contact with your regional consumer centre for dispute resolution:

I'd buy a dirty cheap Ubi game on Steam, so they won't ever remove the account since it would be a fraud to Steam

As Italian is worth mentioning that these nationalist dimwits we have now in charge have being elected with a genius grade new electoral law pushed by the centre left coalition and especially devised in a bipartisan accord between the centre left and the centre right coalition to counter the rise of Movimento 5 Stelle (or any new "small" party) which would then interfere, as indeed it did in the previous election, with the well established bi-partitism which had been instated from Berlusconi since the late 90's (as per P2 Masonry Group Manifest bullet point, https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_di_rinascita_democratica and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_Due).

As result of this new electoral law Meloni is holding Italian government by the balls with a mere actual 16,4% of votes on the voters total.

Let's go into numbers, indeed Meloni coalition ("centre" right, lol) got 43,79% of the total valid votes, of which 26% for Meloni's own Fratelli d'Italia party, but you must consider that these percentages do not include the 36,91% of citizens holding voting rights which didn't actually vote at all, which means this non-group missed to be the largest non-coalition by little and de-facto resulted in non-being the most non-representative non-party.
So accounting for the 36.91% of non-voters Meloni is acting like an empress embodying the second coming of Mussolini with a scant 16.4% of actual voting preference. For this don't forget to thank the center-left for pushing the afore mentioned new electoral law, because this only is what enabled her to act like she's doing.

...and not open source... thank you, but no thank you!

Also from their FAQs:

Who’s behind WireMin?

Not a single personal name on their website.

Marked the domain as crypto-scam in uBlock and good riddance. Unironically thank you!

I wish Matrix/Element focused a bit more on their experimental P2P version, released as experimental in 2020 and then left it in the drawer :/

https://github.com/vector-im/element-android-p2p (... and just why the zuck are they hosting builds on a gdrive instead on the github proper ???)

Upvoted for the Fediverse and FOSS features, but if you're looking for a simple FOSS image hosting service devoid of any social features then also look up for any Lutim instance

Some working instance (there are less and less for service being free and focussed on hosting images makes it a cost hard to sustain for any volunteer individual or association)
