I want to get something with a physical D-pad and buttons off Aliexpress or whatever, but I have no idea how to sort through all the random no-name choices. The only other criteria I have is that I want it to be fully Free Software with no malware and the best value for money I can find.

Some good news and some bad news.

What's the best $35 handheld to get?

Withholding my upvote because your links are to Play Store instead of F-Droid.

And this is why you shouldn't use any browser based on Chromium, because where Google goes (implementing ever more invasive APIs) they all follow.

It is really hard to sort through job listings using ethics as your criteria.

That's the second-best approach. The best approach is for it to be copyleft instead of permissively-licensed to begin with.

Reminds me of my alma mater: the architecture building was ugly and the civil engineering building was badly constructed.

Deliberately car-centric utopian modernism (the Garden Cities movement, Frank Lloyd Wright's Broadacre City, etc.) is certainly a factor, but I'd say it's as much, if not more, about racism. Once de-jure segregation was outlawed, making property expensive by using minimum lot sizes to force people to buy a lot of it at a time became the next-best way to keep (poorer, on average) black people out.

Who the Hell calls an immoral pleasure-seeker a "rake?"

Most of the time the optometrist is just bending the frame, which you can do yourself as long as you're not a gorilla about it.

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
