Why the fuck does it cost that much?!

In the case of competitors popping up, painfully long time. But acutely things are looking good. There is no money backing up these bullshit contracts.

What's that? Become a pirate?

Webshop, lol.

Great suggestion, funny I did not think of this earlier.

Alternatives please.

Prices going up has to match the demand for the supply. Price goes too high, then there is enough incentive for competitors to come into the market and increase supply. In the long run, it hurts the hoarders.

That comes with the price of lower reliability, highly non-linear behaviour and a central point of failure (or control). But, its thr user's choice.

A man of culture, I see. Every system I admin runs SysVInit or OpenRC. I do not need a 'dictator' like systemd.

Please don't kill me. How does this fare against a riced out Gentoo?

By definition of this new law, is Linux an OS? It is technically just the kernel. At what layer of the software stack does the responsibility of age verification lie at?
