Lets see. This post has some thoughts on that matter.
The EU is falling short of meeting its 2030 digital targets, particularly in connectivity and digital skills, states the European Commission's latest report on the State of the Digital Decade, released Tuesday (2 July).

It's just not cost competitive at all anymore.
One can argue about having a disposable second stage (like Falcon-9) vs. full re-usability (like the upcoming Starship), as the latter is not very efficient fuel wise. But not having a reusable first stage just makes it way too expensive to be able to compete in the currently market dominated by the Falcon-9.
Europe's new Ariane 6 rocket is set for its first-ever launch next week, carrying with it the continent's hopes of regaining independent access to space and fending off soaring competition from Elon Musk's SpaceX.

It probably isn't the best use of the city's funds, but given the specific geography of the city, using the space above the river that runs along the entire narrow valley that makes up most of Wuppertal, it does make some sense.
Maybe in some remote, off-grid cabins, otherwise heating with synthetic fuels would be hugely inefficient.

THE WORLD’S first industrial plant using solar heat to make fuels has been opened in Germany.

I want to survive the apocalypse – but not if it’s just me and some terrible billionaires
Since the pandemic, remote properties have been marketed for off-grid living. But a life spent gardening and eating cormorants is not for me, writes Emma Beddington

Sublevel Zero is a very nice modern Descent rogue-like mix that also has a nice optional VR mode.
Beat Invaders is a nice modern space invaders variant with nice graphics and good music.
They could easily switch to the current vice president and get some new relatively known person on board as her running mate.
This is exactly what would happen if Biden suddenly had a major health issue.
Yeah, it's fun and quite convenient.
On large fields it is probably too much work to do this, but in regular gardens I would say having the tomatoes grow a bit slower is of benefit to space the yield over the season and having some "free" potatoes at the end of the season is nice to have.

Partially a test for the video upload functionality of pict-rs.
Nothing specifically, just nice improvements cumulating over the years.
Installing Linux on most hardware became really easy maybe 5 years ago.
I changed the pict-rs settings a bit to allow more file types, but I assume your main issue is frontend and/or browser related.
Gnome works quite well on a larger touch-screen. Edit: ah, Ubuntu should have that by default.

Will probably be again this malicious compliance of "only if you mail-order this 799€ tool for it" 😒 Oh and the battery itself costs more then the phone itself is still worth and of course no 3rd party batteries work.

Lead acid can boil over and fill a badly ventilated room with flammable hydrogen and other toxic gasses.
A well maintained LiFePO4 battery that some modern UPS use it probably less risky, but I think the risk for both is very low.
First off, nothing was destroyed or even significantly damaged so far.
Secondly, targeting individuals carries a much higher risk of civil litigation, potentially bankrupting the individual protestors for life. It is understandable that people don't really want to risk that. And it is also much less effective if your main goal is to incite media coverage to keep the topic in the public debate (as it is otherwise easily drowned out by what ever is the latest media freak-out incited by pundits like Trump that play a similar game).
Ugh, boring first person shooters (except Alyx which is great of course).
