I once was working on a project to use a Pi Zero and Debian with the Pi 7" touch screen to make a little reader - not bad, but I got stuck when I needed to get a 3D printed case made.
I currently do all of my ebook reading (and that's a LOT of reading) via only DRM-free platforms and read them on my little lenovo android tablet.
Doesn't solve the textbook issue obviously, though stuff like OpenStax is a step in the right direction.
I hope FSF has success in this area.
What is not funny is how the faithful just lap that stuff up and never understand.
Windows has "faithful"? I'm sure you're right, I just can't imagine anyone who owns windows going out of their way to actually procure it.
That is the most terrifying claustrophobic "office" design I've ever seen. I guess it works better than nothing if you live in a van down by the river, but nope. Another designer solving the wrong problem.
They will probably be sued by Sonos, too.
How much is $150,000,000,000 per taxpayer?
How much is the $500,000,000 _per year_ for "digital inclusiveness" per taxpayer?
Who is going to pay for this?
One of the problems with this entire group of politicians is that none care about the debt. It's kind of like the environment. They'll all be long dead before those chickens come home to roost.

You might think they could have come up with a better name, not re-use a successful project name from the 80s:
so... ineptness in this case. But greed in many others.
They sell your privacy, piecemeal.
Case in point: you can no longer see how other people view your profile. The "view as..." option quietly disappeared.
Expect everything you post to be public, whether through your accident, Facebook's ineptness, or Facebook's greed.
Hit the credit bureaus where it counts: freeze your credit reports.
While this does make it more difficult if you apply for new credit (you need to un-freeze) it screws up the credit bureau's business model; they cannot make any money selling your credit report when frozen.
That very same Bruce Perens has been involved in the no-code movement, which has largely resurrected amateur radio, possibly to the dismay of said "old timers".
See the last paragraph of https://perens.com/about-bruce...
His force on open-source efforts have been similarly successfully disruptive.
Once you install Windows 10, you no longer own your computer. Microsoft can install what ever they want on it, and reboot it when ever they want. That also gives them the ability to remove anything they want from your computer.
