can't stand them cause i hate vertical videos. at first they were restricted to vine, then tiktok... then they broke containment and every video service out there wanted to stuff them in their app whether people asked for them or not.
I was able to just install F-droid and from there get Obtainium to import my usual apps, including Librera which I prefer over KoReader. No jailbreak necessary.
However... I do eventually wanna jailbreak it and get Amazon's presence off there entirely if I can. Thanks for the references, for when I get there.
Just letting the more non-techy people know that you can get FOSS apps like KoReader without having to go all the way, so to speak.
Piped.video is an option directly in the browser. Or Invidious.
On mobile (android) I've seen NewPipe as an option
Not everything done so far has been legal and there are multiple ongoing cases suing Trump's actions. Book bans, healthcare, and anti-trans legislation are the first that come to mind. People and organizations (e.g. ACLU) in positions of power are trying to stand up for the common person where they can. If I had more money I'd donate to them.
it uses activitypub, but after the drama with cofounder mullenweg it's basically another asshole-controlled platform i would avoid
unfortunately this is not free on GOG right now, just 75% off. I see this a UK community though so maybe it is free, but only in UK?
they love the poorly educated
I've also seen people turning to Mastodon for fundraising. Kinda wish the headline would say "social media" in general instead of just insta and tiktok but the point gets across. Shit is fucked.

I loved it. Loved the historical setting and its exploration of racism, imperialism, capitalist exploitation at that time and place with the perspectives of diverse characters.
I already enjoy linguistics and learning languages, so I may be biased towards already liking the premise of the novel. (And dark academia is totally up my alley.) The way the author explores the nature of language and how certain parts of ideas always get lost in translation was pretty cool; and using that as a form of magic (that could then be exploited only from native speakers of the language no less) was so cleverly done.
Add in the character conflicts between the four friends, a campus strike, and working class solidarity (with a dash of "be gay do crime")... I was hooked.
yeahhh, on second glance... OP's username leans towards trolling
