Sorry for the issues. We already added to our TODO to add an option which will allow hiding “Recent News”.
Nevertheless, you are only the one who does not like it. We received a lot of positive feedback about this block.
Not all people use Twitter, LinkedIn or other social accounts but would like to be up to date with all our updates.
As a workaround, we release 0.9.1 a few hours ago. You can block twitter.com domain for our pioplus application or add to hosts twitter.com 127.0.0.1 while we didn’t implement this option.
A lot of new features and improvements are coming soon. You will be able to customize PIO Home, themes, workspaces, etc.
