A non-human misanthrope would still be less idiotic than a human racist.

If you have one nearby then maybe, but I bet you even they don't want that slightly water damaged, smelly copy of some cheapo 80s encyclopedia.

Around here it's also relatively common to sell old books by weight/volume, either on flea markets or classifieds/Ebay. But sometimes it literally isn't worth the effort.

it’s bad juju to throw books in the trash right?

The books you are talking about are mass produced commodity items, right? If you don't want them anymore and don't know anyone else who does just treat them like any other print product and toss 'em out. They weren't painstakingly copied by monks, the knowledge inside will not be lost, just being a book doesn't make them special.

Signed, someone who had to deal with a slew of outdated guidebooks, encyclopedias, cookbooks, reader's digest issues, never-read novels and whatever else from a deceased relative because they just couldn't bring themselves to put them in the recycling bin.

If you program in Python check out Spyder, some other languages also have specialized IDEs that can be really good.

Visual Studio Code is kinda heavy, so why not Netbeans or Eclipse?

Yes, I'd rather fuck around with custom ROMs than endure the user-hostile crapware that most vendors bundle. I'd also rather try to make an app work despite safety net or whatever not passing out of the box than not have any defenses against the dumb bullshit software vendors put in their apps. I'd rather go back to a feature phone than live with a walled garden full of spyware and ads.

The third is pure desperation, its not even April 1st.

The whole platform became a joke though, so there's that.

You are 100% correct but that's not stopping me from being mad about it

Wait, what's wrong with being an anteater?

Asking for a friend.
