The beaver is Canada which passed a law required the big Tech companies pay Canadian news companies for content they post on their platforms and receive ad revenue from. Facebook and Google are acting all butt hurt and refusing to post news content in Canada instead of paying for it.

This is pure gold

Just for funzies, my Spotify family plan in Canada is $17.84 CAD, which works out to $13.05 USD at current exchange rate.

About as often as they check how many gallons of gas you pumped.

Not true on Windows 11 home that ships with new hardware. You need to disable all network connections and run some terminal commands to set up a local account. It is not convenient at all. Granted you can easily add a local account, after you have set it up with a Microsoft account, but that sort of defeats the purpose.

Adguard ad blocker is fantastic for Android and desktop, although it is not free, in my opinion it is worth the price. It blocks all annoying things, including popups.

Unlock Origin is a solid free choice, a close second in performance.
