Is this even legal? (lemmy.world)

I just got this popup while playing New vegas. I don't even use chrome, i've switched to firefox. How can this be allowed? Also, this is Win10

I really don't know why I bother reading the comments on any windows posts. It's just full of Linux users trying to convert people.

It's not going to happen. Most of us use our computers for leisure, not to have to find workarounds for most anything.

This is literally a post of someone trying to find a workaround for a problem that only exists on windows.... A question was asked and an appropriate answer given, if you refuse to accept the answer, thats on you, go read a different post

Yes exactly it's a question about Windows. Saying "use Linux" is not relevant to this post, which is about Windows.

It's also terrible advice.

You are setting a stage where corporations can exploit people like you who're naive because they resist change. Change is good. Embrace it! I am not a linux user but I always keep my options open.

That's an odd way of saying "I don't like Arch users"

I don't know why lemmy bothers having a specific instance for PC and Linux if the communities for everything from technology to mildly infuriating is just going to be people bitching about Windows.

Really feels like the quality of lemmy has gone down tbh, you can't go anywhere without someone posting "Windows Bad." The population grew but it was only the ones who cared about the API changes which just so happened to be the Linux community apparently.

I use Linux on everything that's not my main desktop and it still pisses me off to see it just flooding everywhere.
