Sounds like that’s the way I’ll have to go. Unfortunate, I hate increased layers of complexity, but I think that’s the move.

Ooo a pihole! That’s on the list.

That might be what I’ll have to do.

That sounds ideal, but I don’t currently have the resources to set up a home network. :⁠-⁠\

Right, it’s like the commentor above asking why I would use a private dns. Check the logs. I posted a screenshot above. A private dns is a great tool.

A mvno is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator, thus MVNO. They don’t own the network, they lease it.

I use a private dns for privacy. I don’t like my data and metrics being shared without my consent. It also blocks ads. Win win

edit: they had some sort of billing issue with me where my bill was consistently 40-50+ bucks over what it should be. So it would be correct one month then the next it would be like 200 bucks and back and forth. When I called, the garbage support had zero clue, and now that I have cancelled, they say they owe me 40 bucks. When I went to pay my bill, it was always 2 payments. Why? I called, again no clue. They did away with Google pass, well you want to know what they also did away with? The insurance on my phone and didn’t tell me. So with i needed it, I was not insured. Cool. Hard pass for me.

Edit: here’s an example of why a private dns is useful:

I think they provide tools to do this. You can do google takeout, then set your privacy settings to delete after X amount of time. We can hold good faith that they do so? Other than that, i guess you can contact them?

God I’m a nerd, I read the first few words of the third one and my mind immediately jumped to debug symbols and was instantly confused. Lol then i told my adhd to take a back seat and read the rest.

Most, if not all podcasts are just an rss feed to a url. The application consumes that xml and delivers it to you as icons for you to listen to.

edit: just now trying the app. Really awesome, better than the thing I’m currently using. Thanks for the suggestion!

Woohoo! Also, for real, check out the overdrive app. It’s pretty awesome. I mean like sure, i can download whatever, but like some of the fiction, once I’ve read it in done. I don’t need to retain it.

edit: spelling

No i just think it would be a good place to search out the good books. I’m sure they’re all in a section, so you’d get to actually look at them and figure out what you want. Then you can go to MAM and get them. That’s what id do, plus the library is relaxing.

I’d check out your local library. Obviously you can’t take the books, but you can check em out and learn.

Yeah! You also realize this is a group full of intelligent people right? It’s the whole reason why i chose this instance.

I’ve thought about this. I think that happened was because of timelines, they released a super early build, fuckin producers.

It’s not the worst thing for an early access game to be cracked, honestly. If the game is has more eyes, that’s great. I am curious about what is out now however.

I am also curious about if the cracked version can be updated with content once the game goes live. Like i have no idea when that is or if it has already happened.

I don’t think piracy is bad lol i do think mega corporate publishers have bad practices for sure. Like cool, the one i worked for is publicly traded. Awesome. Every action is greed motivated. I hate that.

Every time i loose hope in games i just play undertale and ignore the world. >.>

Not if you work for a massive publisher.

edit: or if you publish under one. It’s likely in your contract. Devs really don’t want to use it, but they are required to do so.

Even the devs hate denuvo. It slows down the build times and makes it hard to debug.

Oh my too!
