It is not a problem to load a static (not changing based on user data) ad from your own server. Using a CDN is likely legitimate interest when it is not using private data for other reasons than serving the content.

(I'm not a lawyer.)

Though in the end you're the one clicking busses and bikes and bridges and busses again and when you're through that charade, everything is gone anyway because the bots were faster/better at that..

While local politics are difficult to judge from afar, I generally wouldn't consider the SPD left for a long time now. I'd recommend not putting too much weight on the (local) voting results.

I started "programming" by taking a game server script (template) and building my way around:

Let's spawn a car there! Let's make a multidimensional array of car types & location to spawn! Let's load the data from another file! What is this "database" thing I just heard of?

And down the rabbit hole they go.

it's all reasonably well subtitled

It's not bad if you want full subtitles, if they're available in the language you want. The lack of forced subs however is quite annoying.

I also felt that it was very boring and not living up to the hype at all, as the "gameplay" was basically to walk around and tap your screen sometimes to collect something or make a gesture on your screen to catch random useless Pokémon xyz by making a gesture instead. Besides the lackluster gameplay I also didn't see any meaningful progression system, so it lost my interest very quickly. The AR features were very gimmicky.

It could have been so much more. However I may not be in the target audience and some people did seem to enjoy the casual style - or play a lot despite that.

PDF can embed lots of things and is quite hard to scan because there's some many ways to do things..

It is used for sending documents because its function is to have a fixed layout for printing (and look the same on every device), not because it's safer than other document formats.

If you really want a safe PDF, there's a function in Qubes OS that basically opens a PDF in a new VM, makes screenshots and then creates a new PDF from those. You'll lose advanced functions (e.g. forms) as the pages simply become pictures but that's a tradeoff you have to make.
