Sure, anyone can read the books. Just buy them. You just have to open your own bookstore, your own rental operation for the building its in and your own payment processor. Also your own supplier, publisher and hosting provider for the compa

Is there _anything_ that you wouldn't ban because it could offend some paper-skinned postgraduates? Am I still allowed to read Asterix?

I buy most of my music on bandcamp when it's available there. The genres I'm buying range from indie-synthwave stuff to classic rock to death metal to jazz and folk. I love to give them my money if I enjoy the music enough, but ho

My first thought on it was that I love it and I want one, my second thought was that its really sad they don't have a thinkpad-like rubberized alloy case but only a subpar mac-like shell available. Tastes differ, I guess.

I don't know of one, but I'm pretty sure you could hack something with a small enough wacom tablet if you really wanted. I used a wacom tablet for some time when my mouse broke and the store didn't have the one I wanted. Anyw

Most keyboard nerds I know use either something like https://neo-layout.org or something completely custom. It's much better than a fullsize keyboards because your hands truly never leave the homerow for anything and your h

Yeah, you guys are right. I must've installed it via apk at some point and completely forgotten it's not on f-droid. Sorry for being dumb.

Signal is available from f-droid, that alone is a big step from most other messaging solutions

1. You're moving goalposts 2. If discrimination by religion is not acceptable by your standards, why should discrimination based on politics be?

Yeah, but then all other warehouses have cameras too. Well, the warehouse worker can always choose to become homeless I guess? Seems to be a fair deal in your world.

1. This was about software, not about the hardware it runs on. 2. Vanilla android runs very, very smooth because the hardware is optimized for the way it works. If the android tablets you saw where laggy, that's most likely because of
