Just a note: there are a few on-screen software keyboards for X out there that aren't tied to a specific DE, like xvkbd and svkbd. They might be worth trying if you find some distro that works well except that the default on-screen keyboard sucks. (No idea if there's any equivalent for Wayland.)

If you can figure out how to get the remote open, you'll probably find that the buttons are all part of the same flexible rubbery insert (unless it's 10+ years old). Put a little tape on the bottoms of the ones causing you problems. The insulation should keep them from working, and it's 100% reversible if you ever do find a use for them.
If it's one of the older, more expensive remotes with individual switches, then, yeah, pliers and superglue. 😅
Aqualung—does the small set of things I need it to, and is content to operate on files and directories rather than force the creation of a "music library" that doesn't in any way match how I categorize my music (although if you actually want a music library, it can do that). Only issue is that it's still GTK2, which may become a problem within the next few years.
Well, duh. They usually have toxic or otherwise nasty chemicals on site, too.
Technically, it isn't true that there is no alternative whatsoever to udev/eudev. It's possible to build a system around Busybox's mdev, although it's nontrivial enough that most people aren't going to want to try to do that for an interactive desktop.
There are no less than 7 shows either continuing from a previous season that I've watched or where I'm familiar with the source material. (Not including Kingdom, which I might catch up on one of these centuries.)
Other than those, I'll probably at least check out Metallic Rouge, Sengoku Youko, Meiji Gekken: 1874, possibly Isura, and probably some of the isekais that aren't labeled as "ecchi" or "harem". (7 lunch hours/week x 2 eps/lunch = 14 slots to fill . . .)
The top items in a poll like this are going to be the most popular shows, not the best shows necessarily. Personally, I'd rate Apothecary Diaries much higher than Jujutsu Kaisen (pretty fight scenes but no substance) or Eminence in Shadow (fun, but again lacking in substance) in terms of quality. (I can't speak to Frieren because I dropped it after the second ep—something about it just wasn't working for me.)
The show that I've been watching that I'm surprised to see on that list at all is Ragna Crimson, the second-grimmest downer of the season after Hametsu no Oukoku.
As to whether we need that much . . . not for domestic defense. Or rather, we have so much land area and so little population that, if it came down to it, we likely wouldn't be able to defend the country even if we put 100% of our budget into defense. Our best protection has always been (and is still, although global warming is starting to erode it) our climate. Leaving invaders to freeze to death is far more efficient than shooting them.
Actually, not only does it not have to be "per day", it may only have to be once, depending on the situation.
I live in a location where certain types of medical services are ~400km away minimum. The thing that bit me on the ass was needing emergency care for a torn retina. In March, in very bad weather, at the height of the pandemic. That was a five-hour drive during which taking 20 minutes out to charge an EV would not have been a good idea (assuming a charging station was available—not guaranteed in that area). I would not want an EV as my only vehicle unless the range improves considerably, even though I don't normally exceed 50km/day.
Truth is, I'd probably grumble a bit myself (I'm a carnivore), but I'd also recognize the logic and suck it up.
Really, unless it causes a ridiculous rise in costs, they could just stock only vegan meals, which also fulfill the requirements for some of the religious restricted diets. If a non-vegan has to eat vegan meals, well, that might not be ideal for them, but as long as the meals are nutritionally adequate, it's much less of a problem than the reverse.
I mean, I at least try to fix things before throwing them out (although my success rate is probably less than 50%), but not everyone has the time, knowledge, or tools to even try. Plus, some things are just unfixable.
Then there are things like the $2 plastic tchotchke that you bought because you needed it once for a specific purpose and never needed it again. How much time and effort are you going to spend hunting down someone to give it to? The real problem here is an economic one: in cases where the item was bought for $200 and we might get $100 back, many people will make the effort, but not for $2. So maybe we should concentrate on making the cheap tchotchkes out of biodegradable materials, so that they do less harm when they're inevitably discarded, 'cause people aren't going to buy fewer of them.
