Hard pass.

I had this problem so I just hit the high seas for a much better experience. Then I cancelled my service because clearly they didn’t want my business.

Tell us you don’t live in the US without telling us you don 't live in the US.

I download all their shit, never play any of it though. Just like Metallica…

I’ve tried a few distro’s recently. Pop os, mint, and nobara. Mint was pretty bad (i really wanted it not to be), nobara was good but had issues with sleep and after a month my sound quit working. Pop OS has been flawless and I love that I can set the workspaces hot key to the windows key.

Musta hit a nerve with a maga mod.

I’m not giving google a dime, they take enough from me that I should be paid to use their shit. I’ll just download what I want to watch, it’s not really much of inconvenience.

Long ago. Check this one out if you want something that actually works and I think it’s open source

As I kid I would record songs off the radio, and I would copy songs off other cassettes I liked. I did the same when cd’s became a thing and then when internet went to cable/dsl from dial up, that’s when I started downloading shit like it was my job.

I to this day still make it a point to download anything from them and I refuse to listen to it. If one of their songs comes on anything I’m streaming, I skip.

I won’t buy a game at full price. I’ll wait till it’s a good deal on steam. I’m mouse and keyboard, console means nothing to me.

You can still play online games. Not all of them, but more than not.

Fiat.

They’re using it now to train it. Once it gets real good and people like and rely on it, it’ll get paywalled.

There’s not enough of us, but I still don’t care. I refuse to pay to watch ads. Also, I had Prime and they wouldn’t let me watch high def with firefox on Linux, so even though I paid for it, I had to hit the high seas to watch content in high def.

Cool, I won’t buy shit from EA anyways.

I bought this game, installed it, then the next day the announced this bullshit. Refunded without even loading it up. Added Sony to my do not buy from list. Hard pass.

The data collection thing is a big one for me.

XP was the golden era, 7 was the last I feel they cared. Now it’s just proprietary malware.
