The vpn doesn’t block ads or do really anything, it just routes all my traffic back to my home network so I’m using my pihole for DNS.
I’m not about to install even more crap to do a half-ass job when I could just renew my certificate and pass it along for config, and be done with it and never get ads in any app, home or not.
I’m just lazy, and it doesn’t really come up all that often.
I usually have a private vpn. It’s just isn’t always up. And I can’t be bothered to have it maintained most times because I’m not in control.
I’m considering setting it up through my router which has a built in option, so I don’t have to rely on my third party, but honestly I almost never leave pihole protected networks. So not a priority.
I’ve never played helldivers, but I’ve followed this community and it makes me wish it was my cup of tea (it isn’t and never will be, sadly) because fuck that seems so much fun to deal with! Like fr fun :)
Consumers shouldn’t have to pay because it disproportionately impacts people who live below the poverty line. Rich people and companies won’t care but people in poverty, with no means to move of affect change, get absolutely fucked.
Companies should be paying for it, because they are the ones that use the vast majority and profit from it. Normal people don’t profit from this shit.
Anything that negatively impacts the end consumer and not the company who dictates these things to the consumer..? Is wrong. End of.
Not in my experience, but ok :)
Because that’s not how it works or we wouldn’t be on this post having this chat, probably. ;)
As long as the ads don’t federate in an un-blockable way, they can do as they like. I wouldn’t make an account there, I’d rather donate actual money than have a degraded experience (which for sure works out better for everyone), but I get the drive to monetize.
And they should absolutely -not- be allowed to federate ads, for any reason, since it goes against the vibe. But inevitably there will be “sponsored posts” (probably already are), and I think those instances/users will see themselves fade to oblivion, as long as new users are brought to understand that they could just chip in $2 and never see an ad.
Thank you. I lost nearly all of my established animals, mostly unexpected (three cats and the turtle), last year jul-nov and it was real tough, so.. genuinely thank you.
I will, however, maintain the sctick FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE.
The quickest way to get the right answer to a complicated question is to post the wrong answer, confidently, and wait.
Yeah, his tank mate died dishonorably, back in November, of illness, and I wasn’t merciful enough to send her to Suto’vo’qur. This keeps him from succumbing to his emotional weakness and boredom. Can’t have him also doing a dishonorable; FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!!
It’s so weird, I don’t even notice the lack of ads most of the time (pihole, never leave home, so it’s roughly the same experience I'm used to)
But when I go out? Oh man fediverse is the only site I’ll use because I know it’s safe from ads. The other privacy/user-focus stuff is just a bonus.
(I don’t have any friends around here, so just sort of go out to be out, and usually for food)
Did you know you can get them in pink and white?
Really piss off your neighbors!
