Two options, you lost on time and your opponent has insufficient material. Or it's white's turn and there are no legal moves and the white king is not in check. That's a stalemate and a draw.

Anyway. It’s the stupid lagging clock that makes it unfair.
Lag has many potential causes, but there are things that can be done in your end to minimize issues.

Can't the king move to d3 though? so why is that stalemate?
No, the bishop is protecting that square.

The bishop covers that square.

It would not be stalemate if they called it with an other name, like "cheeseburger".
uncultured, you should try the "beesechurger"
Shakes head when will folk learn the rules?
The object of the game is to checkmate your opponent not to take all his pieces, obviously checkmate is easier once you have a material advantage but there comes a point when you stop chasing pieces and go for the win and checkmate. Had you been playing OTB your opponent could have run his clock down to 2 minutes and then claimed a draw because you were making no effort to win by normal (checkmate) means. See below
FIDE Laws of Chess
Artical 5: The completion of the game
5.1a. The game is won by the player who has checkmated his opponent’s king. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the checkmate position was a legal move.
b. The game is won by the player whose opponent declares he resigns. This immediately ends the game.
5.2a. The game is drawn when the player to move has no legal move and his king is not in check. The game is said to end in ‘stalemate’. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the stalemate position was legal.
b. The game is drawn when a position has arisen in which neither player can checkmate the opponent’s king with any series of legal moves. The game is said to end in a ‘dead position’. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the position was legal. (See Article 9.6)
c. The game is drawn upon agreement between the two players during the game. This immediately ends the game. (See Article 9.1)
d. The game may be drawn if any identical position is about to appear or has appeared on the chessboard at least three times. (See Article 9.2)
e. The game may be drawn if each player has made at least the last 50 consecutive moves without the movement of any pawn and without any capture. (See Article 9.3)
Article 10: Quickplay Finish
10.1 A ‘quickplay finish’ is the phase of a game when all the (remaining) moves must be made in a limited time.
10.2 If the player, having the move, has less than two minutes left on his clock, he may claim a draw before his flag falls. He shall summon the arbiter and may stop the clocks. (See Article 6.12.b)
a. If the arbiter agrees the opponent is making no effort to win the game by normal means, or that it is not possible to win by normal means, then he shall declare the game drawn. Otherwise he shall postpone his decision or reject the claim.
b. If the arbiter postpones his decision, the opponent may be awarded two extra minutes and the game shall continue, if possible in the presence of an arbiter. The arbiter shall declare the final result later in the game or as soon as possible after a flag has fallen. He shall declare the game drawn if he agrees that the final position cannot be won by normal means, or that the opponent was not making sufficient attempts to win by normal means.
c. If the arbiter has rejected the claim, the opponent shall be awarded two extra minutes time.
d. The decision of the arbiter shall be final relating to (a), (b) and (c).

No, I've heard of an other Chess website, called "FIDE" where they also use that strange rule from outer planet.
Pretty sure that was sarcasm ....
Oh my
Covers all the squares surrounding the opponent's king but not putting it in check, complains that chess.com is unfair because they don't know how stalemate works. I'd suggest you to refrain from checkmating your opponent's king in the middle of the board and use the edges of the board until you are confident/experienced enough to do so.
