Shadow Tactics is GREAT. I highly, highly recommend it.

My hope is that they're working on a SteamDeck-based mini gaming desktop/console.

Good news for you: It's not very good. At least not the first 5 hours, which are painfully boring and full of jank.
I played for a few hours last night and, so far, I feel exactly the same. I'm going to try to barrel through the main narrative for a bit, which is supposed to "open up" the game a lot more - but the game systems and UI themselves are a major part of what is killing it for me. That, and the fact that the game so far seems to be little more than a mediocre FPS.
Same boat! I did their free trial, was genuinely impressed with their search results, and now I have a family subscription. I can control what my kids see too, which is a plus.
And they should. If you aren't going to California, Hawaii, or Massachusetts... you should be careful about vetting the state you plan on visiting. Things have gotten very nasty in "red states" over the last few years.
Sounds like you need to find a new employer. That is a toxic and discriminatory policy that exists exclusively for one reason: because the executives are raging bigots.
Mozilla gets Google's money only because Google wants to avoid antitrust charges, so they have to help keep Mozilla alive as competition. It doesn't mean Mozilla is in Google's pocket or has any strings attached at all.
Do not use any Chromium based browser. Full stop.
- If you are on Mac, I recommend Orion (Webkit based, but Mac only ATM).

Honestly, Google has gotten so aggressively evil I'd strongly recommend cutting yourself off from all their products entirely. Consider Kagi instead of Google search and Proton instead of GMail. Other offerings also have alternatives that won't spy on you, steal your information, or treat you like both a criminal and a product instead of a customer.
This is the only reason I stopped using Ubuntu and switched to plain old Debian + GNOME. I want nothing more to do with snap.
