They find ways yes. When I was blocking YouTube I found him watching YouTube via Spotify. Not sure how that worked. But I blocked that too as a result.

I don't think they have anything currently as when it's blocked you see them outside their bedrooms a lot more!

Currently playing this myself. I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm yet to really venture to the desert mines or the island.

Sure. But they aren't at that age to be aware. To be honest unless someone is clued up the average person wouldn't know either.

I've ran Pihole for years but switched to NextDNS. It gives me more control over my kids access.
For example scheduled access to YouTube and Roblox. Also, since it's a public service it means I can block them regardless of network. So for example when we are on holiday. My eldest worked out he could use network data on his phone to avoid the Pihole.

Oh, and it's DNS over TLS so queries are now encrypted rather than plain text that regular DNS.

None of this will block YouTube ads though. For that I use NewPipe or Firefox and uBlock Origin.

I think we all know trailers can be deceiving. They can make a poor game look good but, I guess, at the same time make a good game look bad.

As the old saying goes "Don't judge a book by its cover".

That's a weird take. Games like Minecraft showed the world that games don't need to visually look good to be good. This opened up the world for indie developers to make really good games utilising pixel art. I'm a big fan of Stardew Valley. In fact I'll call it now that the developer for that game has worked harder than any other developer in any game from the past or present.

I've just gone over 200 aliases and none of mine are blocked. Are you using a custom domain?

Yeah, I don't recall seeing that and installed it about four times.

I started this way today but kept coming up with an error with rsync during install. I tried in Virtual Box and had the same error. I gave up and just installed Fedora in the end.

Weird. I've been trying to find a distro I'm happy with and was setting Fedora KDE up today. Ran though my bookmarks and found no videos played on Twitch. Had to install codecs to get it to work. I hadn't seen this in previous distros. Is this specific to Fedora? Other than this hiccup I've enjoyed it so far.

I liked how straight forward Linux Mint is but prefer KDE Plasma. Plus Mint seems quite far behind in versions.

I'm happy to pay for games. In fact the last time I pirated a game was downloading games from groups like myth and class. Subscription is fucking everywhere these days and I sure as hell won't be going that method for my games. I'll be sailing the high seas for sure.
