A lot of people are surprised that pizza places don't use gloves, but the health depatment only requires them with ready to eat (RTE) foods, (think salads, fresh fruit, etc) or with already cooked products. Pizzas are usually cooked around 800ยฐF (425ยฐC) so any bacterial contaminants on the food before cooking are obliterated in the oven
Yesterday's Muse is one of my favorite bookstores! I wasn't in Rochester for too long but I got to stop by there. So cozy and they have a lot of stuff to look at. I specifically remember finding a biography about Teddy Roosevelt there, which was published in 1904 when he was president.
Seal on FDroid has a download playlist option. It works on everything I've thrown at it
A lot of them are actually just re-purposed leather or pleather from jackets I find at swap meets and thrift stores. I also occasionally get scrap leather from my dads friend who owns a ranch
Anki is what I use; it's solid, simple, and tracker-free. It's also on FDroid
I bind my own books using fiberboard and leather, and wood glue has always worked for me. My oldest book is around 9 years old and it is still going strong
Most of the arguments I have seen against it are ethos based, which imo is valid considering privacy involves a lot of trust in the company itself. Brave has had a bad track record with doing shady things (def the crypto part) but also things like blocking ads and replacing it with their own, and leaking TOR DNS records among other shady practices/mistakes. Plus on top of that it is based on chromium (maintained by Google) which for some might be a pro or a con.
