Where can I find the trash folder (.Trash) in macOS Sonoma? It used to be (in previous versions of the OS) in ~/.Trash, but is is not anymore.
It's still there but can't be navigated to in the Finder. Click on the Trash icon in the Dock to access its contents.

Sorry, I see now that in Terminal I can indeed navigate (cd) to ~/.Trash. So it exists there, like it used to be. But after moving there, it's not permitted (as an admin) to perform any command (Operation not permitted), not even ls

Being Admin means you have the right to elevate your privileges. But until you elevate them, you are operating as a Standard user.
Never try to directly access any ".Trash" folder. That was always a bad idea. Even if it works, you're playing with fire.
The "Trash" is a Finder object. You should only ever use it through the Finder.
It just so happens that certain Finder objects may be implemented in ways that make their internal components visible in the Terminal. If you try to access them using the Terminal, bad things can happen.
It's not there using Command Shift G, neither with Terminal.
