Do these accept cash, or only ATM cards? (The latter would link your transaction to your bank account, of course.)
What do they give? A printout of a wallet address?

I expect MatrixRTC will be capable of screen sharing if it isn’t already, so this is probably just a matter of time, so long as Matrix gets the sponsors they need to continue their work.
I think it’d be great to live in a world where this technology required warrants, transparency, and other oversight from the start.
Me too.
It boils down to the fact that this technology is widespread, and will continue to be widespread regardless of my actions
That same reasoning has been used innumerable times throughout history. I suppose each of us must decide whether we think it holds water. It reminds me of an old adage: No single drop believes it is responsible for the flood.
Predator does way more than just ALPR.
I know. I looked it up. I mentioned the name not because I think it represents what it does, but rather to point out that it will affect how people feel about you and your work, even if in subtle, imperceptible ways. It’s up to you to decide whether you’re comfortable with that.
I don’t have a specific suggestion, but here is what comes to mind:
Whenever I find myself on a fine line like the one you’re trying to walk, I consider whether I’ll look back on my life and be proud of what projects/causes/changes to the world that I advanced with the time and talents that I have.
Sony used to make compact variants of their flagship Xperia phones. Good specs. Good battery life. Good camera. Good display. Good sound. Good reception. Headphone jack. SD card slot. Unlockable bootloader, so they could be de-googled.
Sadly, the “compact” models grew slightly larger with each model year, and even a not-so-compact one hasn’t been released in a while.
Look for an instance with these qualities:
There isn’t a browser suitable to replace Firefox in the official Debian apt repos.
However, as far as I can tell, Mozilla’s recent Terms of Use apply only to the Firefox builds downloaded from Mozilla, not to the built-from-source versions that you get from the Debian archive using apt.
You can use the Debian build under the terms of the Mozilla Public License. Read /usr/share/doc/firefox-esr/copyright for details.
Yes, and I could see wind turbines charging batteries during the windiest hours, and the batteries powering the moisture collectors during foggy hours.
Let’s also remember that high voltage doesn’t necessarily mean high wattage. This prototype runs on a small battery.
Blizzard games have always run very well in Wine.
They run, but I wouldn’t say very well. A few counterexamples off the top of my head:
You might not notice the problems (or not as often) if using Proton. That’s because Proton includes a load of Wine patches for stuff like this.
It would be nice if Blizzard tested on Wine and worked with the maintainers to ensure things stayed smooth.
I avoid Apple devices, so I don’t have a first-hand recommendation, but something like Nextcloud would seem to fit.
I think you mean across the internet, but I get your point. You might want to state that in your post.
Its file sharing feature works between any supported devices, including phone-to-phone, and yes, it is intended for connections across a local network.
Why go through someone’s service when you could go direct?
Yes, I’m aware of that justification. I like the idea in principle, but it doesn’t hold water in this game, because the mechanics they used to simulate ultra-realism are not realistic at all. Picking up a weapon in real life doesn’t impose a state of bodily malfunction where you have about as much control of yourself as a blind drunk standing on one stilt. I’ve used swords and bows, and trained in a fair number of other physical skills. Even my very first time, there was never a point where I suddenly found my arms or legs failing to work. The most forgiving way I can describe this implementation would be to call it a ham-fisted attempt.
Clearly, though, there’s an audience for it
It seems so. If some people enjoy slogging through those mechanics, then I’m happy for them. I have better things to do with my time.
I loved the environments in RDR2, but holy hell, the missions’ persistent denial of player agency drove me up a tree. Railroading is annoying in the best of cases. I could tolerate it in The Last of Us, which limited the places I could go but offered a wonderfully engaging story in those places and never dropped a 10-ton FAIL anvil on my head for trying something creative. In an open world game (a genre that I like because I’m encouraged to find creative solutions) I find it unforgivable.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance drove me away for similar reasons. I like games where the challenge comes from learning how to work with available tools and moves, developing my skill with them, and figuring out how to use them most effectively. Making progress that way is satisfying. KC:D chose the polar opposite of that, interfering with my ability to control my character until I slogged through seemingly endless time sinks thinly disguised as “training” sessions. This mechanic had nothing to do with developing my skill as a player, but instead just arbitrarily denied me agency. I hated it, and since the reports I’ve read suggest that the sequel does the same, I won’t be buying it or anything else from those game designers.
I guess my point is just to let you know that you’re not alone. :)
If you can’t do everything on the web, change bank.
And to be clear, make sure you can do everything on a web site. Not a Chrome site.
“my concern about leaving my abusive partner is what if after all the hassle the next one pulls the same act ? and the next one !”
There are many banks and (better yet) credit unions. Not all of them are awful. Be brave. Take action.

In case you don’t have an optical drive, new ones cost only slightly more than a CD these days.
Here’s some guidance on which models are especially good at audio ripping:

(Note that the best ones cost a bit more and don’t come with a USB enclosure, but could be mounted in one.)
Breath of the Wild: Beautiful. Mysterious. Inspired.
Tears of the Kingdom. Big. Shallow. Boring.
I found the first dozen or two hours of TotK exciting, as I encountered new mechanics and a darker side of Hyrule. But it wasn’t long before the new and exciting became endless expanses of copy/paste encounters and terrain, forgettable characters, and annoying enemies. Nothing felt clever or interesting. I lost interest in exploring, and wandered away from the game.
Then I went back to the first game for another run.
