How about a “convenience fee” for making an online payment. Why should I pay a fee to make the transaction more convenient for the company who no longer has to pay an employee to take the payment in person?

The last time I bothered to try was a few years ago. I didn’t realize it was possible to install Battle.net now. I’ll have to take another look at it on my laptop with Manjaro installed.

Oh, interesting! How is performance compared to running on Windows?

I wish, but all I play right now is Diablo IV and COD:MW2 (2023 version) and neither works on Linux. Maybe in the 2030s.

Imagine buying a physical book, reading it, and putting it on the bookshelf in your living room, only to have family members and friends borrow it and read it for free.

I love riding my bike on the weekends and if my commute wasn’t 1.5 hours each way, I’d go to the gym pretty often.

That’s a good question, but I’m not sure I’d wanna do that.

If not for gaming, I would run Linux. Linux on gaming just isn’t on par yet.

That’s an exercise in futility. If Lemmy takes off like Mastodon/Pleroma/Misskey/etc then you would spend your time trying to create accounts on hundreds of Lemmys, some of which will be private or invite only meaning you can’t. Plus, anyone on Mastodon etc. can comment on Lemmy posts. It’s not a task you can complete.

Did they say what they do want shoved down their throats?

should we just quit using these sites or what?

Yes.

check out a Firefox extension called SponsorBlock. It’s updated by users but is pretty current and can be set to skip past self promotion and in video advertising.

I’m sure there’s a way to get around it, and if there isn’t, then I just won’t be using YouTube anymore. I survived before it existed. I’m getting tired of these companies’ bullshit.
