I have many games I own on Steam that I can play portably from a flash drive without Steam. DRM is still on the developer.

$300-500 on average. There's been a couple of pauses for returning to school, the COVID pause, and IDR fluctuations

I've been paying on it for 12 years. I have paid over $20,000 to remove roughly $5,000 in principle. Most of the progress I made was from the 0% interest freeze during COVID. I will be in debt for the rest of my life unless we have some reform or I get a lucky windfall. Most student loan borrowers are in a similar, if not worse situation.

People who are against student loan reform have absolutely no idea how predatory and broken the system currently is.

This block does not freeze interest. It is continuously accruing for those of us that have been put on hold over this shit show.

Nothing is truly deleted. You will still get sent "memories" of things you sent/shared in the past.

It works flawlessly on my personal devices. I'm assuming the errors are due to something with our intranet security.

What's odd is that we have Firefox pre-installed on our computers, but installing uBlock causes a lot of websites to stop loading. I forget the error, but I recall doing a lot of searching and it quickly becoming more effort than it was worth at the time since I'd have to do it all over again almost every day.

I switched to Firefox last year when talks of chromium manifest V3 First started popping up. I had used Firefox many years ago when Chrome was first coming out. I was blown away at how well it worked compared to old Firefox, plus how easy they made it to switch. I even changed my phone browser and my desktop browser ties in with it seamlessly. Very happy with the switch and I wish I had switched earlier.

Now, I just wish I could use it at work. Not sure how I'm going to block ads on my work browser.

So many CEOs these days have their heads completely up their own ass when it comes to the concept of "buy it for life".
