What stops the students from renouncing the protests (under duress) and then just getting back into them once they have degrees?

Although, I'd like to think that any student who defies NYU's demands will fare much better in the long run than a university that kowtows to facists

Seems like the flat-earthers or sovereign citizens of this century

Not in particular, but a good place to check would be websites for local bookstores in US states with a strong native American presence, such as NM and AZ

For an everyday use laptop/tablet, I'd also like to know. PostmarketOS is a good bet for switching Surfaces to Linux, but not all of the hardware features are working yet.

What you ask for is impossible to prove, let alone test, without a rigorous definition of "insightful" or "accurate".

I really like heliboard. It works without network permissions, has autocorrect, and can do emojis

Just a racist dogwhistle. See? The police stopped him, so he must he a bad person who doesn't deserve due process.

Also true. Fortunately, piracy helps quite a bit in this circumstance when you need textbooks or academic papers and have no other options

English Wikipedia can be downloaded locally with kiwix if you have about 50GB of hard drive space and don't mind not having pictures. Its a good idea if the internet gets cut off, like it often does during unrest in authoritarian regimes (e.g., Iran)

We already have libraries, for those who seek factual information and are willing to do some reading and thinking for themselves.

Exactly. Maybe they should ask the president to do another PR stunt to help sales. I hear advertising on the white house lawn worked great for Tesla's stock price. He should serve McDonald's on the white house lawn next. /s
