I think what you're describing at the end there is basically what Brave (browser) tried to do.

Excellent book. It's very far from hands-on, and doesn't even address UI in particular most of the time. Won't tell you how to lay out anything, but puts you on the right empathetic mindset for design in general.
Based on OP's description, might be just the ticket, but may also be too general for some tastes.
Ebooks have their convenience, and once in a while I'll take a free one if offered, or pick them up cheap in a bundle.
But physical books capture my interest way better. More satisfying to hold and look at. Having a physical object around is a reminder to read. And paper books are better for tuning out distractions. If I try to read ebooks on a phone, tablet, or PC I can easily lose focus (though nice dumb-device readers are surely out there, I don't have one).
And I meant to say, most helpful resource for me was the website rtings. Most review and best of lists I can find by searching are so spammy, it's hard to get any signal. But at least that one let's me filter a table of printers by features. I just don't know how many they're missing.
Had to get a new one recently too. I've had good experiences w/ Brother in the past too, but couldn't find one that quite fit the bill. Needed color and for it to be able to handle cardstock.
Ended up getting an Epson, one that's in the eco tank line. Has been great so far. Works just fine out of the box on Linux (LTS Ubuntu, anyway)
I had similar happen to me. Put all of it together, turned it on, then panicked a little when it wouldn't boot up.
Turns out one stick of RAM was not fully slotted in, so obviously that's not OK. Was easy to spot once I double checked components. Popped it back out and in, then it was good to go.
Have you checked your local library? Can be hit or miss, but many have a variety of digital and CD resources available.
Nice! This is the one thing in other browsers that I wish I had in Firefox.
No. Though I think he said his YouTube channel will be stopping soon as he'll be starting a new project.
I wouldn't be at all surprised though if he decides to oversee an inevitable Ultimate port/expansion for Switch 2.
Not really federated so far, right? They talk a lot about being open, but (when) will they be really? Can I sign up for an account that intereacts with Bluesky through any other provider?
I mean, I signed up, it seems interesting enough. If nothing else it has some recognizable accounts to follow, better network effect than Mastodon.
I've heard good things about the yellow book from Rob Miles.
