Looks nice. Shame I can’t get it in the US.

I had one of them almost a decade ago, before Google bought them. The one that I had really just counted steps and tracked heart rates and that was about it. It could also tell time. It was one of the fancy ones at the time.
Assuming you're not allergic to the watch band like I was, it did fine. Battery lasted about a week. Accuracy was close enough that I didn't notice a major issue.
I remember that the Fitbit app was annoying as all get out, though that has almost certainly changed.
Overall I remember liking it, I think I wore it for about 3 months before my wrist started to get torn up by it.
As to what they are like currently, post Google buyout, no clue.
MusicBrainz is an open source database of music. ListenBrainz is an open source service that captures your listening habits, if you've configured your music player (or Spotify) to use the service. It's similar in nature to last.fm's scrobbling.
ListenBrainz has a feature where once a week it will build a pair of playlists for you. One is stuff it is pretty sure you will like (based off of what tracks you have favorited) and the other is more... experimental. Stuff it's not so sure you'll like but is similar to things you have listened to and liked in the past.
That would be a local or state law. Not a nationwide law. It would depend on where you are. Some areas don't care, while other areas are militant about it.
Where I am is somewhere in between. Don't stand out and your generally fine.
Because it’s hard for me to imagine that anyone would say something when someone simply enjoys a nice cold beer during the hot summer in a park or something.
Yea, that's not really a thing where I'm at. Your own yard, sure, Campground, maybe. But almost nobody is staying outside let alone drinking any type of alcohol in the park when it's over 90 F (+32.2 C) outside with over 90% humidity. More likely in the spring or late fall though. Just don't stand out.

Something like that. Online exchanges generally take bank transfers. The peer to peer system is usually face to face (at least at first) and can be whatever currency exchange you agree to.
Professionals use Adobe software because it is what they know and because it is the standard. But there is no reason you need to use Photoshop unless you are working with a company that requires Photoshop.
Photoshop is just an advanced image editor made by Adobe. On Windows, Mac and Linux, GIMP is probably the most well known alternative to Photoshop. It can do roughly 99% of the things that Photoshop can do, and, more than likely, far more than you are ever likely to need. Even as a professional image editor or artist.
I'm sure that there are several options for iOS, but I don't know them by name.
If I remember correctly, this one of the use cases why bitcoin was created in the first place. It's not anonymous but it does solve the control problem.
The only other way I know if is cash via sneakernet. Also not completely anonymous, and it could get you labeled a drug dealer or distributor. Especially in the US.
As for how to get into bitcoin, you can mine it, but more feasibly, just start doing commerce in it. If you have a podcast or you stream, accept lightning boosts. Or you could sell off your old things for bitcoin. If you have some other business start accepting bitcoin as a form of payment.
If you need to convert a national currency to bitcoin there is a peer to peer network that accepts cash, as well as several online exchanges (ID usually required, at least in the US.
As a warning, once you step off the garden path you lose it's protections, so buyer beware. The "Big Money" have a vested interest in minimizing how badly you can get screwed in their system. Such protections don't exist it the alternative currency sphere regardless of which crypto currency you choose.
Recently, most of the music I've found has been something the Youtube algorithm has decided I need to listen to. Most recently it's been the Andrew Sisters and before that it was SailNorth.
Other than that, ListenBrainz does a pretty good job of suggesting new music to listen to.
Can’t say that happens frequently enough for me to have a set thing to do.
The list of things that need to get done never seems to get shorter. So I’m usually working though my todo list. Recreation time has to be scheduled sadly.
Where I am, the sheriffs are elected and the police chiefs are (generally) appointed. Honestly, both get up to the same level of mischief. The problem isn't how they get to the position, but rather accountability. There isn't much. It's a mismatch between the amount of power they hold and the responsibility to which they are held.

Probably a red Blackberry Pearl Flip. One of the last phones I had that wasn't a featureless black slate covered in rubber.
