Sacred tree of life from Norse mythology? What?

I don't see why a free market can't take care of this problem. Let the suppliers run their ads and if it's not profitable then let them fold. None of this "please stop using ad blockers our business model sucks and we need you to accept worse overall service so we can stay in business".

I don't really care that much either.

This is the most important thing imo. Some people just don't care (not saying it's a bad thing). Others do so to each their own.

It's gotten to such an extreme that some websites are nothing more than ad delivery mechanisms under the concept that "ads allow us to provide you quality content for free", which, under the hood, is just a shitty business model that doesn't work for consumers. I've seen websites that literally copy paste the content 2 or 3 times to extend the word count and have nonsensicle, out of order sentences that don't contain any information. There are also websites that have incorrect information, which are also published with the sole purpose of serving ads to generate revenue, which imo is worse. Just another way that capitalism is making our world more shitty.

With some games you need to pirate them if you don't want a Russian nesting doll of launchers and accounts

I'm not a gamer but is this really true? I thought it was the other way around, that pirated games were the ones filled with malware.

"Allow install from unknown source" permission for f-droid, and verifying the f-droid download's checksum are too complicated/involved for many people, especially when compared to what another commenter rightly called "aggressively placed" spyware-laden alternatives.

Something similar happened to me once and installing tumblerd fixed it.

You should switch to Wayland

But it was enough! Kids these days have access to gigs of HD video... not sure if that's a good thing.
