I'd meant to check back here earlier, but thanks for posting a source!
Imo it should always be on the op to provide credible sources beyond a social media account, especially if they want to spread information and make action happen. I appreciate you doing that in a follow up and helping people look beyond screenshots or easily faked images. It's too easy to be create fake outrage and because of how SEO and filter bubbles work, difficult to find an article on this particular instance again, thanks.
It's quite outrageous this ever was (and continues to be) an ongoing issue.
I really dislike ad driven publications. I’m not opposed to paying for quality news publication, but for something like NYT, there’s only a couple articles a month I come across that I’m really interested in reading. There problem is that there’s 4-5 other paywalled publications where I have that same issue. I’m...
My entire state has access to NYT, Chicago tribune, USA today, a ton of other popular newspapers and our local newspaper through their libraries for free.
Went to look at the TOS. The service generated data (10.2) isn't actually the bad part. However, 10.4 is.

I'm looking for recommendations. I usually use Overdrive with books I've downloaded (I think in the epub format). But now I hear that Overdrive is no longer being supported (I think the company wants people to use their Libby app instead). I'm hoping to find something open source and privacy minded. Also not wild about what...
Librarian here. Yea, Overdrive's near monopoly has been concerning for awhile, though libraries will en-mass drop it if they start selling user data. It's still safe from that currently.
I am trying to find a good service to read ebooks (preferably for free) but as long as it is a good experience I don’t mind paying. Thanks for your opinion.
First thing, check with your local public library.
They are most likely going to already have a free app to use with your library card. (If you don't have a library card, get one. They are free and it is very illegal for libraries to give your data to anyone without a court ordered warrant).
My library uses Libby, and it's great for the most part on any smart device.
If you do end up licensing (and it's a license, not a purchase). Amazon's Kindle store is good and has some exclusives.

Can’t salvage them, soooo…destroy? Or are we going to get an upgrade to them like with the Season 1 jewelry? Any guesses?
