Long-term carrier lock-in could soon be a thing of the past in America after the FCC proposed requiring telcos to unlock cellphones from their networks 60 days after activation....
Yup. I can get away with prepaid 1GB/month for 3€ because I'm almost always near Wi-Fi and don't really need to use anything bandwidth when I'm not.
I also find it wild how some people will get an expensive contract that comes with a "free" phone, but then don't switch to an equal but cheaper contract (without a "free" phone) when the contract term expires, or at the very least renew the term so they get a new phone.
At the very least it's seems heavily inspired by the Digital Markets Act, which is why I'd hope that their wording will be specific enough to close those "loopholes" Apple is currently attempting in the EU.
The non-fun answer is that they're most likely just using the default screenshot mechanism, which already blocks that. Other programs like KeePassXC, which also hides itself from screenshots and recordings (unless allowed) will probably not be included either.
Some of the other comments show that off pretty well. When people say they want a dumb phone they usually want a "dumb" phone that also has X, where X may be their favorite messaging app but it can also be anything else really, like a good camera or support for NFC payments.

I'd have a bit more symphaty if they at least tried to do the bare minimum before choosing the nuclear option.
Most notably, the PVE queues in LoL were infested with bots for years and you could tell them apart from real players before they even made their first move. Often times you'd be the only human player. If stuff like that wasn't caught, I have serious doubts about their previous efforts to catch "real" cheaters.
Yup. At the very least, they shouldn't have made it a requirement for TFT. If it were possible to cheat there that'd be more of a game design problem anyway.
That's true. Personally though, it not being optional for any amount of time just shows that there's no good argument to have it be mandatory in the first place.

What kind of content are you guys getting from there?
For me it's probably best described as "background chatter", so mostly a bunch of different news sites that aren't important enough for me to go into my RSS feed, bots posting notifications, and random thoughts from bloggers.
Any stuff like that to help onboarding Mastodon?
There are those that help you to stay on your home instance as well, but the big one for me is StreetPass for Mastodon, which finds and collects Mastodon accounts as you browse the web. That way you can organically build your network without much effort. You'd be surprised how many accounts from news sites, open source projects and people with blogs you can find that way.
