I agree. I believe slop is here to stay and the only way is to filter it out. Wanna use AI? Good for you, the rest doesn’t need the slop and it should be filtered out by default / flagged as AI

Yeah but is it a reason not to do anything? Some people don’t care, some are unaware. For the last ones we should keep pushing for making tech landscape a betted place for everyone

That’s how it should be done. Everyone should do their part and perma exclude Sony. Everyone should tell friends and family not to adquire anything Sony branded

You are right, we shouldn’t arrass the staff, but the top management put them on the frontline shielding them from any accountability.

Here’s the actual list of people everyone should bother: https://www.sony.com/en/pressroom/executives/

Sony sold their TV division to TLC https://eftm.com/2026/01/farewell-sony-tvs-kinda-as-sony-sells-off-majority-of-its-tv-division-to-tcl-271234

If I may clarify / simplify on the answers:

• Contrary to the name, Pi Hole will run on most devices including a Raspberry Pi.
• With PI’s current prices I’d not advise on the purchase of a new one, but rather reuse / buy a second hand server / laptop / anything that can run Pi Hole Min Required Specs for Pi Hole
• After setting up Pi Hole you will need to change your current router’s DNS source to be the device that is running Pi Hole.
• Let us know if you have further questions

I just tweaked the original post to include 2 lists that I found and that I will try later

This is a good time to remind everyone to:

• Install Pi Hole, get LG rules to nerf all the telemetric data going out
• Jailbreak the TV, install SmartTube for your YouTube account without ads and live your best life
• Edit: since some people asked for a Pi Hole configuration, I found a couple of them that I’m going to try out and tweak:
  • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheShawnMiranda/LG-TV-Ad-Block/master/list
  • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/master/SmartTV.txt

I hope it helps!

He got a recent interview with one of the YouTubers I follow and I’m must say I’m a bit sad to not see people calling him out https://youtu.be/_CuibYl_Fh0?is=f6p3aQv4iPmdqiH1

That’s right. But are you suggesting we just sweep it under the rug and ignore the support of racist people? Because that is what big tech does and not a lot of people like it

I get the frustration. It could have a tutorial / wizard to make it easier to set and understand.

If some parts are not loading, check the top left of the address bar for some icons, by default LibreWolf blocks canvas and anything that can identify you, and you have to press on them to allow them to render the elements.

Security unfortunately implies more inconvenience, which is what companies like Google love, but if it was a lot friendlier it would probably be less safe.

Or better yet LibreWolf

Newpipe and Grayjay are great options!

In case you are considering purchasing a BMW here are the models mentioned in the article:

BMW says the feature is available on suitably equipped cars built after July 2020 and running BMW Operating System 7, 8, 8.5, 9, or X

He’s just like Crash Bandicoot!
