Lol, eight maids a milking... Slaves. He's sending you slaves darling.
Wait, just so I get this right... The board fired him; Then members of the board wanted him back; Now he's back and replaced the board too? - so did he pull an uno reverse on the board of directors or what? How the fuck does that shit work?
Looks gorgeous
The 'robot' isn't the problem. This design is intentional and human made. Here in the Netherlands self checkout is the norm, even in very small grocery stores. However, it's super easy and not frustrating at all, because the stores TRUST their customers. The self checkout is super simple, you scan a product and put it on your bag, or backpack or whatever you have. No need to weigh the scanned products or anything. Nothing overcomplicated.
Now there are some control measures, but they are designed in a way to not be too intrusive or create unnecessary frustration: First, most places have a gate at the exit that only lets you leave by scamming your receipt (or if you go paperless, you scan your membership card on your phone). Also, some places do random inspection. But that's frustration free too - a worker comes up to you with a hand scanner, scans like four or five random items of yours and leaves. Boom, done.
Empathy, Solidarity. Openmindedness.
Also, teaching them to be independent and self assured, being able to speak their mind.
Out of the box, pihole has a few block lists already set up. Those are pretty good already.
To add more, you can find some good block list collections online. No need to add them all. Pick a good handful, depending on the category of stuff you want to block. Here are some helpful links:

... Once you got a few block lists set up, you'll probably want to whitelist some things specifically, that are otherwise caught up in the filter. This is a super helpful resource for that:

Python! Although I've been recently working on a bigger frontend project in TypeScript and I've grown to like it... Wouldn't use them for all the same purposes though. Right tool for the job and so on...
Funny how he's not even trying to hide his true colors anymore.. :/
It's rediculous though.. This guy is a sociopath
