Man, reading the hacker news comments is grim. A deeply cynical and shallow series of takes on an interesting subject.
It sounds really cool, but I’ve honestly had issues installing it on two PCs now on two separate occasions separated by a couple months. Issues I didn’t have installing Ubuntu. The installer would fail to complete. I’m not a Linux power user, and while I tried debugging for a few hours, I gave up.
Not piracy, but if you’re in the US and get a library card, you can use the Libby app, which has tons of free audiobooks on demand. Definitely worth it, imho. You can download for offline use easily too, which makes it excellent for travel.

Instinctually, I don’t like this idea. I’m all for eliminating cars and roads, but delivery drivers are already vulnerable and exploited enough. I can’t imagine delivering packages for Amazon in the searing heat here in Florida while every car tried to run you off the road.
Fun fact, be careful around exposed roots from fallen trees, especially if people are messing around nearby. There can be a lot of tension stored in the roots trying to stand even a long dead stump back up / gravity, and if something gives, you can become trapped under the tree.
