I personally submitted Hisense’s ACR servers to a popular DNS adblock list that’s used by a lot of products.
And just like that, anyone with a VIDAA TV hiding behind a pi-hole went dark.
We should really make sure every TV gets checked.
I always liked the dramatic…

I’ve never used em-dashes to represent them. Am I doing it wrong?
I swear Australia just did it quietly. We could have done with that extra juice to charge our cars faster.
or, as you wrote, “steals”
Nice hallucination, clanker. Fuck off.
This is a great change. I wonder how long before the hate brigade comes along to complain.
No. Employment is finite. Including someone means excluding someone else.
“DEI hire” has a different definition depending on whether you’re talking about design or implementation.
Design: Non-discriminatory hiring practices where race, gender, age, religion and disabilities are overlooked. You get hired purely on your ability to do the job. Appropriate disability supports are given if required.
Implementation: Cheap foreign labour obscured by marketing spin and a calendar of wokewashing. Applicants are hired based on a quota that in no way reflects the talent pool.
I get that hiring practices should not discriminate, but in practice, what I have seen is the opposite of meritocracy. My company had many DEI hires, and they were the first to go when the money got tight.
I’m in Australia. We have a king and it’s no big deal. Thailand has a king and it’s no big deal.
What you have on your hands is an imminient dictator. You don’t want that.
I looked it up. It was a thing from 1973 to 1981.

It wasn’t that long ago that you could travel between the two without a passport.
Bed goes up. AWS goes down.
AWS outage. Basically Bezos went down on all his customers.
It’s funny that people get upset about one line in a config file that’s not even selected by default.
Imagine running a website for 20 years, changing absolutely nothing, and one day you’re being targeted because someone else on the other side of the planet changed something at their end.
Tell them to piss off.
They’ll come after your phpbb instance next.
It would be nice if this extended to all text, images, audio and video on news websites. That’s where the real damage is happening.
The stepping-stone would be de-googled Android like LineageOS or GrapheneOS. I think Linux is the end-game though.
frustrated by ads that feel irrelevant
What?
Do they think we have a friend-or-foe system that only shoots down advertisements from adversaries?
An ad is an ad, and should be terminated on sight.
It’s not attention to detail. Normies are affected by social pressures and emotions. Their behavioural patterns are baised towards acceptance.
Without emotional senses, an autist will assess the function and intent. The only desire is something that works, and is designed to work towards the user’s interests. Anything with a dark pattern will be set alight.
You’d have to block whatever DoH server it’s using. They usually fall back to regular DNS. I’ve found that a Chromecast will use Google DNS, but will fall back to LAN DNS when blocked.
