Back up cameras are mandatory in the US, and apparently Automatic Emergency Braking will be mandatory starting in 2029, so you'll be stuck with some sensors whether you like it or not.

But otherwise I agree that buttons and dials are better for controlling AC and radio than a touchscreen ever will be.

Check protondb.com if you want some idea before switching

I think they're referring to the 1953 coup that the CIA was definitely involved with, but I'm not too sure how involved the US was in the 1979 revolution. The US probably didn't have much influence in that one considering how long the Iran hostage crisis lasted.

Trying to send a message with your vote is not worth it

That's like the entire point of voting though.

If you're in the US (as Obinice pointed out), type your zipcode in the box in the top left and you've got your hyper local forecast and any relevant warnings and watches. I don't care for or want extra notifications, so that's a bit of a blindspot for me.

Also, if you're using firefox on android you can hit the 3 dots and "install" the zipcode specific forecast, which just gives you a shortcut to that page on your homescreen.

Amazon does still sell digital music files, you just need to find the "digital music" section in Movies, Music and Games if that link doesn't work for you.

But you're right about google music, it got turned into youtube music and I'm pretty sure it doesn't allow purchasing and downloads. I'd imagine apple also still lets you buy music, but I've never actually used them before and don't plan to start now.

There would probably also be some health complications if you deep fry half as much food as I air fry/toaster oven.

Looking at the Food & Drink section, it doesn't look like you can get much more than coffee and meat with monero, so I'm really not sure how you're supposed to "be your own bank" by using it and still have access to food.

Alright, so monero is good for coffee, maple syrup, and meat bars (?!). I don't currently eat a lot of any of those things, so I'm not sure how this will help me with my groceries.

Have you heard of D&D Beyond? It's already a subscription service, I'm not sure D&D is in the best hands as it is.

Another big example is any web-browser that isn't safari. That should be changing soon/recently (see here https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/25/24050478/apple-ios-17-4-browser-engines-eu) but that's only because Apple was forced to.
