@shadowwwind @fesshole In software development there's the concept that you should, "eat your own dog food."
I imagine in marketing it's more like, "don't swallow your own shit."
edit: I suppose we should all follow that one too.

️.Does security prevent USB drives? You could always do a portable web browser with uBlock Origin installed if they do.

That's sweet. Which distro of Linux are you running in it? And the security allows for Linux programs to be installed? That's definitely a solution!

@fesshole At previous jobs (as a web developer), it took me 6 months before learning we had ads on the website maintained by my team.
One day someone asked the team to change the script related to ads. That’s how I learned about it. I was shocked.
