Was mostly referring to restaurants and other services. But in general, no I have yet to experience any place flat out rejecting my business if I pay in cash. I'm not sure what's with the downvotes, I'm merely sharing my personal experiences.

Don't do cash, or would prefer not to do cash? Those are 2 different things.

I have yet to encounter a place that will refuse to take my cash if I tell them I have no other method of payment. They may not be eager to, but they can't stop you from leaving.

Nobody's refusing payments in cash. The articles you're linking were during covid, an entirely different context

Oh yes, no argument there. That's my entire point, in fact.

Warning: Unpopular opinion coming up

This is a ridiculous metric. They measure carbon emissions not just by what the billionaires are consuming, but by what their investments (businesses, factories, etc) are producing. This is akin to the world blaming China for their grossly inflated per capita emissions, while conveniently ignoring that it's actually being consumed by other countries and it's just shifting numbers around.

There are plenty of legit reasons to hate billionaires, there's really no need to be making up new questionable ones that can be torn apart.

That's pretty much the point. The steam deck was a huge success, but the only reason it could exist and be such a success was because they had the freedom to do what they liked and not worry about management with attitudes like yours.

Good thing you weren't working at steam, huh.

Do you have a better alternative, you lemming?

Steam DRM doesn't have quite the same history of maliciousness towards end users that Denuvo does

Pretty sure that's how it should be working on any UI.

What makes you think he's an idiot as opposed to lying through his teeth?
