> I don't really want to reward Docker for writing themselves in as the distribution hub for all things docker and then more or less extorting money from people.
I finally bit the bullet and paid for YouTube Premium. The ad "experience" on YouTube has become so abysmal and unblockable, that to use it at all really forces you into it. I had a hard time expressing why this was so aggravating -- considering that I see literally 5 other streaming services I pay for on the same launch screen -- but this really nails it. It's the same monopolize-for-free-and-then-charge-and-extract-all-rent-forever move at the heart of every digital service now.
I just ignore the ads on youtube. I don't own any animals so the pet food ads are a miss. I don't take any medicines so I'm not buying those either. I work remotely so I'm not going to buy a new car. I already have a VPN so those are all pointless also. I think that is all they try to advertise to me.
Oh yeah! I will never play Rage Shadow Legends in this life or the next. Give it up!
