I've seen this on payment terminals too. It's real annoying when you're used to do the same motion all the time. But safer obviously.

Now I want to see Magnus Carlsen come in clown shoes at the next FIDE event. I wonder what they will do then.
I'm envious! They at least try. My mom usually buys something new, continues to use the old one till it breaks or not at all (if I don't intervene). Because attaching a hdmi cable and power cord is too much hassle to even start thinking about. I've only last week connected her old cd player and amplifier that was still standing there after she moved 3 years ago. I would do it sooner but she even hates it when I start doing. Oh and not like she's actually going to use the audio equipment.. Radio on the TV sounds just as good, obviously.. Ah when she was moving I discovered she had a whole new stereo set still in boxes that she never bothered to even unpack! You know, in case the one she wasn't already using died or something..
Having free speech has nothing to do with having no consequences to what you say. Sure In some instances there might be overreaction and especially companies prefer to be on the safe side of social discourse. The issue there is not free speech but workers rights (in the US at least). But that does not limit your free speech, you're still free to say and publish it. But nobody is required to actually listen to it, or publish it for you. Just because we are free to say what we want, does not make all opinions equal in worth.
You can easily request a free domain through services like duckdns.org. Might not be the prettiest domain name, but for these purposes it's fine.
Eh alles weer van de overheid/gemeente maken is ook niet perse de oplossing. Kijk naar de situatie in België. Het OV daar is om te huilen zo slecht, en de plaatselijke dorpjes hebben vaak praktisch gezien geen OV verbindingen. Maar natuurlijk wel raar dat gemeentes niet kunnen aanvullen waar het nodig blijkt.
Ik weet niet wat precies de oplossing is, maar een soort van middenweg lijkt me het beste. Daar waar het rendabel is laat het door de privé sector doen, en anders moet de staat/gemeente kunnen bijspringen op een manier.
