They have a predatory business model. "Hey we're cheaper than the competition". Once you're soaking in it and need features, they have options but it'll cost you. I reckon they have slick sales people who know how to pander to the egos of middle management as well. You know ... The people who don't actually have to use the tool but sure like to feel like they somehow matter.

I like it. And any OSS licence model is better than closed IMO. Let's see how it shakes out.
NextDNS is another option that'll give you PiHole level control and customization. I will say PiHole is pretty easy to get up and running tho.

I'm sure it didn't go well. If it was somehow framed in a sycophantic way where the police were led to believe it was their idea, I'm sure it would have gone better. Wait that might not be too difficult to do.
Might be about time for testers to start cr4pping their pants tho.
Bravo. Welcome to the world of greater control and flexibility.

I'm having a decent experience with progressive web apps. Even posting now with a PWA for Lemmy. It's given me a bit more control over the bloat and background processes that might be there unwitting to me. Or requiring me to investigate . I don't enable background notifications or anything like that however. I also direct my DNS traffic thru PiHole but that's another conversation.
Well I don't have a dog in the AI fight. I did sufficiently couch my comments as a thought experiment. I could have postulated the opposite scenario I suppose. Or none at all. I do see that there are some strong and confident predictions as to the outcomes.
Wait til AI takes prominence. What effect on intellectualism that might have remains to be seen. As long as LLMs aren't tailored to bias certain views, it may just lift humanity.
