You can (hopefully) root your TV: https://e.nya.je/getroot/ and then follow a guide like this to disable all the snooping: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/lg-tv-block-mini-how-to/2551...

Disclaimer: I haven't tried any of this myself, I've just been looking into it as I am/was considering buying an LG TV.

There's some backstory to the CoMaps fork that is detailed here: https://openletter.earth/open-letter-to-organic-maps-shareho...

Disclaimer: I don't know anything about this other than having seen the above link mentioned in a comment elsewhere as to why people should switch to CoMaps.

Looks great but I'm watching this while sitting on a tube right now. What I assumed was my train was lagging by quite a bit and then disappeared!

Not entirely true - e.g. Kotlin has null safety built into its type system, and I find it much nicer than the option/optional approaches used in various other languages.

Not quite what you're asking for, but there was this discussion and website that you'll hopefully find relevant:

Agreed, and the small stdlib is one of the main reasons for this problem. I understand the reasoning why it's small, but I wish more people would acknowledge the (IMHO at least) rather large downside this brings, rather than just painting it as a strictly positive thing. The pain of dealing with a huge tree of dependencies, all of different qualities and moving at different trajectories, is very real. I've spent a large part of the last couple of days fighting exactly this in a Rust codebase, which is hugely frustrating.
