That sounds plausible but I’m trying to focus on the positive here

Let’s try and look at silver linings
What would be great is if price hikes cause people to purchase games that are worth it causing developers to release complete and feature rich games without further abysmal monetization statagies.

A simple first step to helping oneself learn better ways to deal with this problem is to setup NextDNS on your router and use their Roku or similar content filters.

That’ll make it so much easier to find a rom that’ll work

No worries, thanks for trying to explain it

Do you care to share what special type of lock you use?

Use alternative ways of streaming content such as Kodi or Stremio with a debrid service that costs $17/6mo
- Comment on Just got my OpenWrt switch - what configurations / preparations should I do? 1 week ago:
Be prepared for your router to not work until you figure out how to set stuff up. So hopefully this isn’t your only router. I converted a router to OpenWRT and my knowledge of networking was super basic. It was very confusing but I did get it working in a few days. However, I couldn’t get some things working like a VPN or updating without wiping all my settings. OpenWRT is router firmware, not NAS software. You’ll need to run something like CasaOS, OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS, etc for that.
This website is a great starting point for router configurations: routersecurity.org/#StartHere

I like getting audio books from Libro.FM. It’s all DRM free and some money gets donated to a bookstore of your choosing.

- Comment on Trump Calls On Congress To Pass The “Take It Down” Act—So He Can Censor His Critics 4 weeks ago:
And all presidents since Bush (I think) have supported FISA Section 702, among other terrible and unconstitutional laws and executive orders that each president wants. Let’s not make this about Trump but rather how corrupt the US government has been and continues to be

Libro.FM is fantastic
- Comment on 8BitDo Has Announced The Successor To Its Ultimate Wireless Controller | Time Extension 4 weeks ago:
Surprisingly their apps don’t require Google Play services and have no known trackers via Exodus. That’s impressive
- Comment on 8BitDo Has Announced The Successor To Its Ultimate Wireless Controller | Time Extension 4 weeks ago:
I wish these were firmware based like Gulikit so I could modify everything without a software that inevitably won’t be made for Linux.

Hydro Thunder on Dreamcast!
- Comment on Introducing Pi-hole v6 1 month ago:
Thank you. That’s incredibly insightful. When I get the cash I’ll setup a PiHole
- Comment on Introducing Pi-hole v6 1 month ago:
That’s a good point
- Comment on Introducing Pi-hole v6 1 month ago:
Why would someone pick PiHole over say a customized NextDNS on your router?

This is really neat. I’ll be trying it out for sure
- Comment on Apple is once again advertising on X after more than a year 1 month ago:
Agreed
- Comment on Apple is once again advertising on X after more than a year 1 month ago:
Buy a used one then. GrapheneOS is by far the best mobile operating system. I have used Calyx and have a Lineage tablet. Neither of them compare to how well GrapheneOS works in and of itself as well as with sandboxed Play services
- Comment on OctoApp, but not from the Play Store? 1 month ago:
The Google Play version has Google analytics. Wouldn’t those still be in the GitLab download if it was packaged as an APK?
- Comment on Apple is once again advertising on X after more than a year 1 month ago:
The best option is GrapheneOS on Pixel devices.

- Comment on Who's making older games so expensive? 1 month ago:
Get an Everdrive or blank CD and flash ROMs to them to play on your original systems.
- Comment on Gulf of Make a Report to Apple 1 month ago:
You should abandon Apple for Linux anyways. Apple doesn’t care about you, your privacy, or anything but them making more money, from you. This has been proven time and time again by evidence and whistleblowers.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 1 month ago:
Yup. Keeping old cars going on fossil fuels is so much better than millions of new cars being built every year, and in order for them to be built they ship them around the world to seperate facilities. I could go on and on
