Have a friend that got one. They wanted the convenience of android - buy books on any platform you want - but the e ink screen so they are not tempted to mindlessly scroll on the typical websites

Isnt Roku just as bad as the web TV systems? Amazon fire is bad too.

The Problems of Tomorrow, Today!

This is still a thing? I used this in the age of AIM and didn’t know it stuck around past the shutdown

Some UV is blocked by glass. Either UVA or UVB. It doesn’t block both.

If you’re only doing one project every once in a while, consider just ordering parts from people online. They do the work, and mail you a finished part.

Get that photographer a pulitzer

Build it yourself. Stash several mini computers connected to Lora radios around town. Connect to form a mesh all focused on the same fediverse page. Connect wifi hotspots to those servers, connecting phones to the hosted page, not to the internet.
You’d get a localized community site that by design can’t be infiltrated by people from across the country hating on you (e.g., San Francisco and Texas).
No idea on feasibility or how much work, but seems to address your question at least.

Seems like people making people mistakes. Not anything horrific.
