From what i understand any changes to the system outside of the userland will be overwritten after a SteamOS update.

I think it's time to revisit the question of why these corporations exist as "people" under the law, when they clearly operate without humanity. The perversion of justice that granted them this right was taken directly from the 14th Amendment in 1886. That amendment was written to grant citizenship to freed slaves. What a coincidence that slavery ended, but was immediately replaced with a new structure called corporations.
Reagan should certainly be known as one of the worst people to occupy the Presidency, but I think for a bigger perspective on how we got to this place, the 1886 SCOTUS decision to recognize corporations as people is a good start.
Hmm, I wonder if SteamOS has AppArmor by default so I can tinker with it.
I read an earlier Lemmy post where someone suggested setting the WINE proxy settings to some invalid setting for the game as a work around. I need to test it and see if it works.
Thanks for the suggestion, I think the main issue is doing it on the Steam Deck. On a native Linux machine it's easier. I don't see a way to install OpenSnitch on the Steam Deck with the read-only file system and whatnot. I think a pi-hole and block DNS might be easier than trying to mess with SteamOS.
It's certainly "practical" for shareholders with controlling interests in these publicly traded companies, but very impractical for everyone else.
The word corporation may have existed before the 14th Amendment, but the legal definition was entirely different. The word "Country" was also used to describe the state a person was from in the 19th century, if asked about one's country, one would would reply with the name of their state of residence. The meaning over a word can change entirely in a couple generations.
What criticism of capitalism is more relevant than the abomination of corporate personhood? Toss a few more right-wing Supreme Court rulings into the mix like Citizen's United giving corporations the ability to spend unlimited and unregulated money lobbying (buying) the legislative system and you have a nation in decline with a failing economic system.
Legally only citizens are allowed to lobby congress, if corporations were no longer considered people, then real people would have more access to power than their corporate overlords.
