Welcome to (late stage) capitalism.

The market of publishing houses is waaaaay too monopolized for that to take an effect. It's like boycotting Amazon.

Name one instance where that worked when it wasn't connected to a massive public outcry. Do you remember the Call of Duty "boycott"? Ubisoft is still in business, too.

Also, the majority of book buyers don't know or care about this verdict.

Also also: The publishers won't even be able to correlate the "lost" revenue of individual people boycotting with their shitty behavior. It's not "Oh, we sold 1000 less copies of this book than expected, because we fought the archive." It's more: "Our predictions were off by 1000 copies. No idea if that's because of some tangible factor, or just 'noise'."

I really appreciate the sentiment, but sadly: Individual boycots that aren't attached to a concertated campaign sadly don't work. Pirate away, but you can be certain that these publishers don't know that you exist.

It says that it s "inspired" by monospaced fonts. I imagine they mean stuff like the tiny serif on the lowercase i

What makes you think that police unions can not be "bastardized"?

It seems you have a very limited undertanding of a state or a stateless socitey.

Maybe this page can help you out a bit

Like 90% of professional laptops in America are this exact set up

It's true. There's a lot of wickedness in this world.

Not to repeat myself from when I saw this posted last, but:

Seeing thinkpads running Windows feels just wrong.
