Its not impossible to research the porn you consume to ensure that you're not getting off to someone being sexually abused or raped.

You do understand that abusers can lie about what they're doing, right? And that victims of abuse will often not come out in fear of retaliation from the abuser. You're saying that the viewer should be required to prove that something doesn't exist. It's an impossible task.

And you are absolutely responsible for ensuring that the porn you watch is adult and consensual.

Well... no. But even if viewers were, how do you go about ensuring that it's abuse free? It's not like you can just google the production company. There are plenty of times where there aren't any publicly available allegations so you can never be sure. When it comes to amateur porn, how do you know if their partner is forcing them into it or not? There's no way to prove anything for sure unless there is a public record of allegations.

That's the ideal but you know that's not how it works at all in our current society. Replacing workers with automation just leads to workers needing to find a new job.

I use duckduckgo but just throw in the google bang if I need specific functionality. Usually DDG is fine for me usually but it's convenient to be able to switch quickly.

It's not. There's no reason why headphone jacks would be outdated. They carry an analog signal to drive the headphones. With a dongle, you're just converting that signal from USB-C. USB-C headphones carry the exact same signal and bluetooth is garbage for audio quality. 3.55mm TRS is the de facto standard for headphones in the consumer market. It really doesn't get any simpler or cheaper.

Every time someone was displayed an ad it made the world just a tiny bit worse

By what metric?

Lemmy has gotten quite a bit of money in grants. It's safe to say that without the grants allowing the lemmy devs to work on it full time, it wouldn't be as functional as it is now. Getting grants really isn't easy and that shouldn't be the barrier to whether or not you can be compensated for your work.

Never had issues with that either tbh. I guess the algo just picked up on something for you. That's annoying.
