Mastodon is mentioned a little lower.
I mean, it doesn't necessarily mean the app is dead, maybe it's just still working as intended?
Looks like there are just more translations in the gitlab history, but no new releases since 2021.
Looks like it hasn't been updated in 3 years. Is it still maintained?
That's how I used to turn my tower on when I was a teenager. The motherboard was also outside of the tower, lying on a piece of bubble wrap on the floor. When playing an exciting game, we'd sometimes kick the graphics card out of place.
I'm confused, are you talking about buying the e-reader, or the books?
For books, you can try looking for much more local options: in Quebec you have a leslibraires.ca for example, which is a consortium of small libraries. Their books do have some form of DRM though, I believe.
That sounds ...crunchy.
