  Great explanation! That makes a lot of sense. No real value for them to rock the boat.

  I like this

  I wonder if that’ll end up being true. I’d guess the constituents this represent voters that watch porn at least as much on average as anyone else. I’m going to go ahead and guess above average. They might get tired of this and push for change. But I’m also admittedly less educated on how our political system works than I should be and might be overestimating how much influence Florida Man has because he’s disgruntled at having to jump through hurdles to fap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon experiences freedom⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, you’re right. But that doesn’t fit with their “think of the children” moral compass. Which isn’t even pointing the correct direction, but good luck convincing them of that.

  I feel like my compass analogy isn’t the best, but eh.

  I was curious if you could actually buy this which sent me down a small rabbit hole.

  Turns it it was, according to checkyourfact.com, was a quote falsely attributed to Joe Biden. Looks like that was a few years ago. I hadn’t seen it back then. checkyourfact.com/…/fact-check-joe-biden-buy-man-…

  To the original thing I was looking at of can you buy it, yes you can. checkyourfact.com/…/fact-check-joe-biden-buy-man-… But now having context, it’s a political shirt.

  This answer is completely untested and something I came up with while poking through my phone’s options. But it should work as long as the app in question uses your phone’s DNS settings.

  My Samsung phone a private DNS setting. Settings > Connections > More Connection Settings > Private DNS. This doesn’t seem to be bound to a specific connection on my device so I assume this value is used for any. I don’t know if this is available on all modernish android devices or iOS.

  One can set up a dns-over-https server such as github.com/m13253/dns-over-https/ and configure it to use a DNS server which is sinkholing those domains. Which it sounds like you already have setup.

  You’d have to have that public facing with a reverse proxy and a valid cert so they could reach it while on mobile data, so I don’t know that the juice is worth the squeeze.

  Almost everything on my store page is AAA or liveservice trash.

  Very little on my Steam page is. This is just one data point but still it suggests their suggestion algorithm somewhat works for this.

  Just an observation on that specific thing not a disagreement with the problem. Live service is trash and needs to go away if it’s not an exclusively multiplayer game.

  I’m just throwing shade for fun.

  Feels like the right choice for a shitposting community!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Praystation 5⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are ps5’s not useful?

  I haven’t bothered with the last generation of consoles, but I haven’t heard anything bad about them.

  But maybe my “haven’t bothered” comment is a common sentiment and the answer to my own question?

  Speaking as an aethist, can confirm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most obscure movies you've ever seen?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One at random that I enjoyed that I don’t think is well known is “God Bless America (2012)”.

  The title might be misleading, so I’ll say that it is not a religious or patriotic film.

  Apology not needed.

  I agree with you. The ozone layer is a great example of this being successful. And there are other examples of this kind of issue elsewhere. Like the we have to push for user repair rights or against planned obsolescence (which one could argue this is planned obsolescence, in thinking about it).

  A small number of informed users won’t disincentiveize companies from abusing the masses. Because most companies are garbage so of course they will if they can. And regulations are the solution. I’m not suggesting we ignore that. But those of us who are informed can still incentiveize those companies that do treat their customers well in the interim.

  I concede to the point though. I said, in effect, that supporting businesses that treat us well will help. But I suppose it’s more accurate to say that will, at best, stop things from getting worse.

  Setting legal precidents and regulating the industry are musts to curb this behavior. But we also have power as consumers. The ol’ “vote with money” if you will. There are too many uninformed consumers for this to have a huge impact, but keeping our money away from bad publishers and giving it to good ones will help.
