But even that would cover a large percentage of the American workforce, and I imagine over a few years, it will grow to cover all users that don't need personal accountants. Progress is progress.

Personally, I hope this transitions into a system where they email you a proposed return and you do nothing to accept it (only needing to take action if there's an issue).

I have a similar use case, what do you recommend on the pi for a TV OS?

Not free, but I've found great value with purelymail.com. Cost is $10/year or there's a calculator for advanced pricing (basically AWS costs forwarded).

If you provide your own domain, you can have unlimited email addresses. If you use a provided domain, there's no predefined limit, but abuse will be stressed by the developer.

If you lose the master account's password the admin cannot reset it for you, which indicates a strong commitment to privacy.

Because it's paid, no activity requirements, phone number requirements, or invitations.

It has one of the best terms of service pages I've ever read.

Reliable public transport with a robust interstate passenger railway system coupled with a well designed intracity bus system, along with well maintained biking paths everywhere else would go a long way to getting bad drivers off the road.

We can't get bad drivers off the road when basic everyday living requires driving. There are cost effective alternatives in use across the world. America just has to learn to accept good ideas that others have pioneered.

Could public transit be considered to reduce the need for everyone to drive?

I respect boxcars, but does the world need more trolls and troll accessories?

It'll never happen if we all agree it'll never happen. I like taking about them, as it's my way of making it more likely to happen

No argument from me. I'm probably insane. But I'm not under oath, or doing a job, or undertaking a responsibility; I'm just me, talking to strangers in a public chat room. Why should I limit myself to the practical? Is there a rule against expressing dreams in this room?

And I agree, even if I convinced everyone overnight, and we had the willpower to do it, I'm still proposing infrastructure changes that I may not see finished in my life, but building for the next generation is still noble to me, in my insanity.

As a rule of thumb, I expect that Asus as a business only cares about adbock from two angles:

1. A feature to slap on the box for advertising.
2. A B2B feature for helping business management make workers more productive.

To the first, there's little incentive to ever update the lists after you've bought the device, so it's quickly outdated. To the second, it's like to be far more optimized for Amazon or Newegg, then for Reddit. Between the two, I don't generally expect them to hold a candle to pi-hole and similar software.
