Where do you get books for the Kindle if not at Amazon?

• BAEN sells eBooks directly.
• Libby has various options to check out eBooks from local libraries.
• Project Gutenberg has free and DRM free eBooks for most books in the public domain. A huge number of classics are available this way.

When I look for a specific book, I usually find that simply searching for "BOOK NAME purchase DRM free” results in plenty of results.

Sadly, I find it dramatically easier to find a free DRM free copy of most eBooks than to find somewhere to legally purchase a paid licensed DRM-free copy.

As a flawless upstanding citizen, I never partake of such amazing convenience, myself, of course.

I bought a “fixer-upper” recently, so I fill most days off with minor home repair projects. I’m using it as an excuse to build a decent little project workbench, though.

I’m with you.

Thankfully, corporate bullahit isn’t the only way to create a discovery algorithm.

I expect that we will have a diverse set of discovery algorithms available to opt into here, in a few years.

Ooh, neat.

A manufacturer phone pre-installed with LineageOS would be awesome.

Jeff Bezos never smashed the window on my car to steal my speakers,

True.

he doesnt come out vandalising public transport or parks and he isnt the reason my wife doesnt feel safe walking around at night.

If we could even comprehend the scale of his unpaid taxes, or their impact on our parks, we might discuss this at length…

Movie theaters are really expensive, so I’m not paying attention to what Hollywood is making right now.

There’s a couple of them, I think.

The surprisingly deep copy of Balatro in “Dave the Diver” is pretty good.

“The Mandalorian” is fantastic space western, and worth watching for what it is, if you can ignore the Star Wars connection.

It might tempt you to also watch “Boba Fett”, which does not stand in it’s own at all, but does weirdly contain a couple of good enough bonus episode of “The Mandalorian” for marketing reasons.

Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..

I’m sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)

Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)
