No you don't. Their ToS are very explicit about this. You're buying licenses, just like on Steam.

The library runs silently in the background without user interaction, fingerprints the host device, registers it with a remote backend, and periodically sends metrics and retrieves configuration via an encrypted communications channel.

Are we sure this isn't Google Play Services?

Yes, they were on a reduced crew because of a storm.

This is normal. XDG dirs must be configured manually. Alternatively, home-manager has options for this.

It depends on the country. In France for example, middle and left are for passing.

Although the founding family's name was written in the Kanji "豊田" (rendered as "Toyoda"), the company name was changed to a similar word in katakana - トヨタ (rendered as "Toyota") because the latter has 8 strokes which is regarded as a lucky number in East Asian culture.

I remember this being the norm 15-20 years ago.

I want to try out Fallout New Vegas after having watched the TV show, and beforeiplay.com recommends I use a few QoL mods, in particular one for higher resolution screens (I'm playing on a 4K monitor).

So I lookup "fallout mtui", end up on the mod's page, hit download... and am greeted with a screen telling me I need to sign up for an account.

I obviously do not want to create an account on such a shady website, so I tried using a throwaway email... rejected (of course). I then said "fuck it" and tried registering with my real email address... also rejected. "E-mail address is not valid". Well, it is, this is my primary e-mail address, has been for more than 10 years, and I've successfully used it to register on dozens of websites, including Amazon, eBay, various banks, Steam...

I found several Reddit posts about this issues, dating back to several years to a few months. Apparently, registration on Nexus Mods has been broken for very long, with no fix on the horizon.

So it seems it is impossible to download anything from there. Is there a mirror somewhere? Or are all these mods no longer possible to access?
