Clean laptop

I have this fantasy about nice and clean laptop without all zombie Internet that dominates our attention

What should I block in my /ect/hosts file to live a normal life online without slop and the bigtech? I just don't want that on my computer

  1. Facebook - the evil myspace has to go
  2. Instagram, Messenger and other Meta products by default - no thanks
  3. TikTok because it's like cancer
  4. Sloppy Google services like search and gMail (just get proton mail and duckduckgo)
  5. Youtube and anything else that has a feed (only acceptable feeds are rss/atom feeds)
  6. Amazon because I don't like Jeff
  7. Temu and other casino shopping shit
  8. Discord - because of reasons
  9. Reddit and other LLM infested spaces
  10. Twitter - don't forget to block Elon
  11. All the chatbots
  12. Netflix because they want us to binge like zombies
  13. Spotify slop (try Soma.fm and their Groove Salad Classic or KWSX)
    14. Twitch Snapchat Pinterest why not block all the trackers LinkedIn Gmaps Microsoft Teams & Office 365 - zlosliwe oprogramowanie WhatsApp
