  1. ‘No’ is already the default, that’s why you get the banners, to trick you into opting in. There are a couple of filters that you can enable in uBlock Origin to get rid of (most of) the banners.

  Cool! I’ll give it a try!

  It’s heatmap-calendar right?

  I recently installed the “Dataview” plug-in, and it’s amazing. You can create documents or sections by querying data from other documents, effectively using Obsidian as a database.

  I’ve seen them in Germany, but between relatively small cities and towns.
  Not Just Bikes made a video about Trams not long ago.

  Not talking about any reviewer in particular, but in general, even if they are not payed, they get the game for free and usually have affiliate links to buy the game, so there’s at least a couple of incentives to do a better review.
  Again, not accusing anyone, but the potential for bias/conflict of interest is something to keep in mind when watching those types of reviews.

  Exactly. Also, the key word in these type of studies is “linked”, which means that’s only a correlation, with no prove of causality. The way it’s written, it makes you think that the screen time causes anxiety and depression, but there are other studies that suggest the causality goes in the other direction, kids that suffer from depression tend to spend more time in social media.

  Keepass is exactly that. Basically all the client side parts, and the database is a single encrypted file that you can sync however you want.
