While I sympathize with not knowing every random english word, the one next to it being ‘rape’ should’ve been enough clue

I can’t speak to factorio since every time that dev has ever opened his mouth it has just been horrific hateful bullshit.

- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Addition to 10. And if a thread is not about america or politics, someone in the comments will still twist the subject to rant about it.
And 11. Lemmy has a disproportionate cynical middle aged nerd population. Like the people on this post thinking ‘old reddit-like ui’ was a compliment. Seeing the ‘I only use vim’ guy once is amusing. Scrolling down and seeing a dozen more sends a distinct ‘this place is not for you’ vibe.

- Comment on Turkish government just blocked access to YouTube after a terrorist attack - but the Vivaldi browser on my desktop still connects? 4 months ago:
All on dot/doh, all us cloudflare servers. Specific ips of the servers were different. I could reach Lemmy, google, ecosia just fine so I don’t think the servers were blocked.
I haven’t turned off fallback but judging by how I was getting a connection reset instead of the block notice when discord didn’t work I think fallback must be auto disbled with encrypted dns.
I do wonder if local cache had an effect, I didn’t know how to check that though. No proxy that I know of.
I did find the file and the part of the file that was different in Vivaldi and copying that to other browsers did make them work. I should’ve tried that with other social media sites too but I was too sleepy and now the temp blocks are gone. Can’t find information network persistent state file on the internet, so I’m stumped for now
- Comment on Turkish government just blocked access to YouTube after a terrorist attack - but the Vivaldi browser on my desktop still connects? 4 months ago:
I don’t think you understand. The old profile connects to youtube. New profile doesn’t connect. There’s no difference between the flags of both. TLS is decades old and doesn’t have a flag to turn on or off. I think you mean dns over tls, which is widely supported at this point, and it’s what what all my browsers are using (and also doesn’t have a flag to turn on or off).

As I said, all my browsers are using the same dns server. This isn’t a dns block

As this kind of thing happens after every public crisis and it stopped working on different networks at different times (vodafone was fine for a while in the beginning), I think it’s safe to say it’s intentional

- Comment on PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off 4 months ago:
On other news, welcome to my blog adshittification. The blog that uncovers the sinister truth about the ads being shown in your throat! This week’s highlights:
-
Youtube still hasn’t stopped ruining my week by filling up those precious few seconds between opening a video and going fullscreenwith intrusive ads that cover a quarter of your screen, and still even then you can’t stop the wall of ads that show up after the video finishes:
Image Image -
I opened up steam to play some factorio to calm my nerves, but I got greeted by an illegal ad telling me to kill myself:
Image -
So instead I opened library home to play something alse, only to be assaulted by more ads at the top!
Image -
I decided to give up trying to play. Normally I would open reddit next but I haven’t been using it since they put promotions in the post screen:

Thankfully lemmy is immune to such corporate bs

No lemmy-chan not you too!

It’s upsetting how news outlets can now call anything an ad to generate outrage and people here just eat it up. Something about that word seems to turn people’s brains off and they start commenting misinformation.
This is:
A feature to show you news from the game you’re about to play.
Badly designed since it can’t be turned off and it covers the entire screen.
Prone to abuse for ads.This is not:
An ad.

- Comment on Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app 5 months ago:
Who’s being exploited? It’s not like the app hides its true nature until you pay. People are upset at the idea of paying it something they don’t want to but that’s a completely imaginary scenario, those who think it’s good will pay for it and those who don’t won’t. I don’t think that justifies calling the guy names and assuming how he must’ve become (or has always been) a bad person.
I’ve no idea what you mean by legitimacy of YouTube, but if you think things like this hurt it wouldn’t it help to not have a big outrage that makes it reach even more people? Let it have a quiet death and maybe the media will stop creating these weekly how-dare-you-make-a-bad-product dramas
- Comment on Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app 5 months ago:
I don’t understand why the internet is unable to say “I don’t like this app, so I won’t pay for it” rather than “I don’t like this app, so you’re a bad person”. Hundreds of people raging and catastrophising over something they never bought or even heard of until now.

Is there a limit to the number of devices allowed to connect that this rule is trying to enforce?
Either way, if the vr headset doesn’t need internet connection you could connect your computer to the internet wirelessly and to your own router via cable for vr.
