    On the other hand, open-source software enables one to disable or edit those blocklists with a simple patch. It’s just an extreme way of making it the default behavior, and therefore making their political statement stronger.

    There might be a better way, but I’m not really concerned with this implementation.

      Not just a patch, you also have to set up the build chain to compile it.
