Only reason I installed it is for it's ability to use GitHub releases as a source and notify me if there are updates. As far as I'm aware you have to use f-droid repositories with f-droid -- but it's been a long time since I had f-droid installed.

Install Lutris.
Use the battle net install helper for Lutris.
Launch battle net.
Profit.
It's like one extra step (install Lutris) compared to Windows. Using Linux doesn't have to be some archaic mystery and the proliferation of the steam deck is doing wonders at improving the ease of use of all this stuff.
Spoiler alert: your individual choices don't matter. Drastic and sweeping changes need to be made at the corporate/supply chain level if we have any hope of surviving this.
So... We're fucked.
This really only affects legitimate users.
Legitimate users are usually the ones who suffer most for DRM
Unregistered torrents (from upgrades to season packs or nuked releases) and the occasional upgrade paths that don't always work.
My own upgrade paths tend to pull in some versions which get made redundant so every so often, just ensuring there's no multiple copies as a result of said upgrades
Diablo 3/4 is not split screen on PC

You can use sonarr and radarr without indexers. There's even built-in support for major trackers without need for additional apps like Prowlarr.
That said, I use autobrr to handle the monitoring of releases and let the other apps filter out what they actually want
It's annoying that so much of my search results rely on community discussions from reddit. I've pretty much ditched the site entirely and am getting pretty comfy here, but a lot of historical discussions on reddit simply can't be replaced and likely never will be.
One of the easier options would be something like a DNS-based load balancer with an extremely short TTL (<60 seconds). Cloudflare offers an option that is $5/mo to use.
You would need 2 haproxies to do this.
Otherwise, you're likely looking into something like keepalived with an elastic/additional/failover IP that can swap between instances if a failover situation is detected
Her adult sons are also two of her tenants. She only needed to provide proof of residency for a single tenant. I feel like that should have been a slam dunk in terms of acquiring what she needed to prove something is occupied.
She gave up
While I can commiserate with getting overwhelmed, she needed to get help before giving up. As someone who has had lots of brushes with the CRA and the IRS and being strongarmed for more money during tax time, giving up is a surefire way to end up paying the highest end of whatever fine whatever agency is trying to pin you with. Maybe she wasn't fully aware what would happen if she ignored this, but I don't think that's really any excuse either.
The only entity benefiting in this scenario is Denuvo, while the client clutches their pearls to protect a misguided concept of the elusive lost sale. Denuvo rakes in cash in the name of copy protection, but the truth is most acts of piracy are driven by a lack of means to obtain the product or a desire to demo the product.
Sure it's their right to protect it but I don't think there's any accurate way to actually measure the impact of games with and without such aggressive copy protection.
