wtf is "GeForce NOW"?
Ah, cloud gaming
Well of course they're going to rake suckers over the coals. Anyone with an ounce of foresight knew years ago that game streaming was going to be toll roaded to hell and back.

A few of my bot accounts have been doing some excellent work over there.
I want to know who the hell is buying them and how the hell they are affording them!
Blackrock and other investment firms.
Consoles: Hives of vendor lock-in and proprietary nonsense
Smartphones: Hives of vendor lock-in, proprietary nonsense and a powerful tool for social engineers
Laptops: Strong tendency toward proprietary design, eh they're not that terrible, I guess...
All in all, making these things harder to obtain would be a net positive for society.
When enough individuals ignore a law, it becomes soft nullified. For example, everyone doing ~30 over the speed limit. Even the cops where I'm from will tailgate you if you're not going fast enough.
I salute non-VPN'd torrenters. Thank you for your service.
One-time purchases.
Actually, your kids will be taught dependency on proprietary corporate software that spies on them and conditions them into corporate vendors walled gardens in order to a create lifelong customers (+ data mining sources) in order to enrich giant tech corporations.
Ideally, your kids would be taught genuine computer literacy so that they can be digitally self sufficient but that is never going to happen in a school setting.
Here's an unrelated picture of a North American wood ape:
I sounds like you suffer from internalized proprietary.
The rise of surveillance society cannot be so narrowly attributed to a nation state. There are many stakeholders with much to gain from the mass collection of data, the advertising industry chief among them.
If cash stops being an option, it won't be because anyone had been forced to stop using cash, but because the unthinking masses uncritically accepted the convenience of centralized digital currencies and digital payment methods.
I think there is a threshold number, say somewhere between 55-65%, wherein once that percentage of the overall population has accepted some fraud, it then becomes 'reality' because it has achieved enough inertia to become unquestionable doctrine. It then becomes propelled under its own weight without social engineers needing to run their narrative networks. For example, the surgeons masks and pharmaceutical products of the last four years.
Many experts in the past have noted that most such infected devices can’t survive a reboot because the malware can’t write to their storage. That means periodically rebooting can disinfect the device, although there’s likely nothing stopping reinfection at a later point.
Relevant line for my lazy chadbros who know that reading articles is for sissies.

It's been a ride, and thanks for hosting for as long as you had.
I have only been haunting lemmy as a holdover until proper forums get their federation support straightened out. Lemmy inherits the same flaws that other link aggregators suffer from, much like how Mastodon suffers from the inherited design flaws of microblogs.
I tried doing my self ascribed duty to introduce ideas into lemmy that fall outside of the group consensus. But it is as you say, deviating from the accepted lines of thought just gets you disappeared.
