I only know the basics of networking, so I’ve been wondering why this “DNS-sinkhole” functionality can’t simply be implemented directly in private routers (as some kind of blocklist) instead of adding a new device to your network. Do routers not support this for technical or security reasons?

Not the Slim one though

That’s why I love my Fairphone 4. Everything about it still works like back when I bought it 5 years ago, except for the replaceable battery. And it will still get security updates for a few more years

I get your point, but what would be an alternative term for content or creators in general? One that encompasses all types of media. Maybe “artists” and “art”, but that doesn’t always fit, I guess

I generally agree, but those terms you prefer are specific about the type of media. I think “creator” and “content” are still the most neutral and catch-all terms, but they have been tarnished by commercialized platforms.

I usually avoid corporate stuff, but not always. What term do you prefer over “creator”?

I think the next tier would be to only pirate media that is licensed by huge corporations and still buy indie media to support creators

You say I perfectly summarized it, but to be honest, I haven’t even read the article… I am familiar with the topic at least and just put my thought about it into a laconic comment.

Generally one should only comment on an article after actually reading it.
