Like I said, they’re mostly scams. Warranty scams. Posing as “your bank” (which they, of course, don’t name). Etc. Legitimate companies follow the do not call list, since there are heavy penalties if they don’t.

The US has a do not call list. The vast majority of robocalls are illegal scams which originate from outside of the country.

That would still require you to create an account, which is the part of the process people object to.

I was a beta tester and yelling about the death of most recent as well. It became clear that they did not care what people wanted, so I dropped out of the beta test and eventually un-installed the mobile app entirely. Now I read Facebook maybe once a week (my friends mostly stopped using it too).

Yeah, E Ink is actually a brand. AFAIK there’s no one else producing suitable displays for ereaders at scale.

Linux generally has a higher (perceived?) technical barrier to entry so people who opt to go that route often have strong opinions on exactly what they want from it. Not to mention that technical discussions in general are often centered around decided what the “right” way to do a thing is. That said regardless of how the opinions are stated, options aren’t a bad thing.
