That’s incorrect. At least as a generalization. For example: In The Netherlands, you do not own the airspace above your property. The EU laws for drones do state that you can’t just film people without permission, though. Operators of camera drones also need to register and get an operator id.

A trigger warning on this post for Android devs would’ve been nice.

Speaking of which: I’m cooking up an app platform for this purpose on ESP32: https://github.com/ByteWelder/Tactility

I found kdenlive terrible. DaVinci Resolve is much better, but it’s closed source and has some limitations in terms of hardware encoding support (nvidia only).

For me, the sweet spot is IntelliJ with the vim plugin. If you want to give emacs another try, I recommend Spacemacs. I use Spacemacs sometimes, but not for code.

Like someone else mentioned: you should be able to join meetings without an account.

That said, making an account with a custom email address will not create a microsoft mail inbox for you. Microsoft, however, will use your email address to send service-related messages. If I recall correctly, you can manage what kind of messages you want to receive, in your account settings.

The main difference is that you’d just be making a regular(free) microsoft account bound to an existing email address of your choice, as opposed to binding your domain name to a microsoft account to host your email there - which is mostly something companies do and is a paid service last time I checked.
