The third is pure desperation, its not even April 1st.

The whole platform became a joke though, so there's that.

Yes, I'd rather fuck around with custom ROMs than endure the user-hostile crapware that most vendors bundle. I'd also rather try to make an app work despite safety net or whatever not passing out of the box than not have any defenses against the dumb bullshit software vendors put in their apps. I'd rather go back to a feature phone than live with a walled garden full of spyware and ads.

it’s bad juju to throw books in the trash right?

The books you are talking about are mass produced commodity items, right? If you don't want them anymore and don't know anyone else who does just treat them like any other print product and toss 'em out. They weren't painstakingly copied by monks, the knowledge inside will not be lost, just being a book doesn't make them special.

Signed, someone who had to deal with a slew of outdated guidebooks, encyclopedias, cookbooks, reader's digest issues, never-read novels and whatever else from a deceased relative because they just couldn't bring themselves to put them in the recycling bin.

A non-human misanthrope would still be less idiotic than a human racist.

Democratic Gov. Janet Mills signed a bill into law Wednesday that allows abortions at any time if deemed medically necessary by a doctor, making the law one of the nation's least restrictive. The previous law banned abortions after a fetus becomes viable outside the womb, at roughly 24 weeks, but allowed an exception if the patient’s life is at risk.

I couldn't find a source on this so I gotta ask, would abortion in cases like that just mean that the pregnancy is terminated early, with the child being handled the same way as others who are born prematurely are, if at all possible? In other words, do these protesters have a point at all?

Large numbers of protesters were not in the State House on Wednesday as they were during the legislative debate. Instead, a lone demonstrator stood outside the governor's cabinet room holding a sign that called the law a “death sentence" for unborn babies.

Myah!

If you have one nearby then maybe, but I bet you even they don't want that slightly water damaged, smelly copy of some cheapo 80s encyclopedia.

Around here it's also relatively common to sell old books by weight/volume, either on flea markets or classifieds/Ebay. But sometimes it literally isn't worth the effort.

If you program in Python check out Spyder, some other languages also have specialized IDEs that can be really good.

Visual Studio Code is kinda heavy, so why not Netbeans or Eclipse?
