335k cameras (image in link shows that number)..that is so many, it is hard to imagine.

Such a large spy network on the populace, I wonder if we have this problem in Sydney.

Thanks for your detailed reply, that was what i was after. I wasn't having a go at Nix or their decision, just wanted to understand the why in the choice. Your two responses have helped explained that.

I agree with Guix, the whole package really appeals to me. I found the same issues between Nix vs Guix, having to do a lot more fiddling to get to where i wanted to be.

Guess next time I will word my statements better :)

I think it is the boiling frog experience. It has just slowly happened over time, and sometimes they push too hard and get blow back. So you step it down a notch but keep pushing forward until one day you look back and can't remember a day where there were no ads.

I have ad free household. We treat ads like a poison, like there's a fire. Over the top reaction to shut them down if they creep in. It has taught my own child to avoid ads like the plague (unlike their peers).

I have no idea how people use the Internet with all the ads, no blockers. It is just bonkers, and even at work it is an uphill battle to convince people ad-blockers should be enforced just to protect the business from malicious ads, let alone their own brains.

I want to lobby to have all adverts removed from public transport, but I am unsure how to do that in Australia, but I will work it out.

I got 2 from here, https://smallcomputercentral.com/kits/ and then some additional boards from Tindie to turn it into an MSX. I have not had the chance to build them out yet, but very excited too.
