Because all those likes and comments they get on photos keeps them addicted to the platform 😵‍💫

I repeatedly ask family not to share photos of us on social media. I can’t even get them yo stick to that let alone not storing photos on their phone which naturally gets cloud stored and therefore data mined.

I just had a kids activity thing where the company doing the activity put a line in the SAFETY waiver giving them permission to post photos on social media. So you not only waive your kids safety but also their privacy ffs.

MX on a laptop. It just works™. I have Artix (Dinit) on my PC. Also happy as a clam with that. My only regret is not switching sooner.

If she’s using GrapheneOS can she at least run Whatsapp in a work profile?

I remember, years ago, being laughed at by the audio visual crowd when I asked for recommendations for a privacy respecting TV. Now who’s laughing idiots.

Worse is that Meta is also pushing for OS age verification so they can fob off responsibility to users. They want both pieces of the pie - absolution of responsibility by foisting it on users and avoiding responsibility for any harms.

But those phones are mini computers, some of which people use as an actual desktop.

We have a now many years old Odroid that stills runs our media server, AdGuard Home, XMPP, and several other services.

It runs DietPi.

They never answered my question about the requirement for a date of birth on registration, closing it down because of v2 and expecting the same issue to be reopened.

My ex exposed our kids to porn and it seriously messed with one of them. More than a year of counselling and they were still never the same. Only took until adulthood that they could really process it. Some kids I would imagine may unalive themselves over it if the level of depression and anxiety my kid went through is anything to go by.

I’m also a child sexual abuse survivor and was also exposed to porn as a kid and had issues because of it. It also took until adulthood for me to work through my sexual trauma and come to a place of mostly peace. But I am not likely to ever be 100% (even with the therapy I’ve had).

Porn has only gotten more extreme over time with some seriously fucked up shit.

So no, they may not survive and if they do, they don’t always come out of it mentally unscathed.

Porn exposure to kids is a form of sexual abuse and should be taken just as seriously.

I’m asking both specifically about the GOG thing but also more generally. Yes, I know the SS appropriated runes for tgwit logo but I still don’t see how that automatically makes runes themselves bad. I can understand how it would be triggering for some folks and so a level of sensitivity is required (which GOG clearly failed on) but I still don’t get how appropriated symbols automatically = bad (because I’ve seen the same reactions to other ancient symbols over and over again and I’m still trying to understand it)

I’m confused. I have Scandinavian ancestry and understand that some of the cultural identity was appropriated by Nazis and now some extremist fuck wits. e.g. how the Hindu swastika (also often confused with sauvastika) was appropriated. But I don’t understand why that means appropriated symbols automatically = bad if they’re used in their original context?

It’s not always that though. After I was in a car crash and feeling miserable one of my cats came and slept curled around my head which he’d never done before.

I used Arch for 10 years and in that time I could literally count on one hand how many times my system broke. Three of those times were user error. I was on CachyOS for about a year and a half and never once had issues. Now on Artix and I’ve once had my system get borked once (due to one package that was an easy downgrade). I’d hardly call 3 system borks in ~13 years “inevitable instability”. Rolling release =/= constant breakage. I wish this myth about Arch and Arch based distros would die.

I agree about Cachy’s improvements being meh. I noticed very little improvement (barely perceptible if at all) going from Arch to Cachy. I mostly stayed with it as long as I did for convenience.

I mostly use my phone (Pixel with GrapheneOS) as a dumb phone + calendar. But by far the biggest number of apps I have to have on it are the fucking car charger apps.

It doesn’t. Yet. Hopefully it never will. But given how in on it Red Hat and the US govt is it could only be a matter of time.

As others have said, any distro with KDE Plasma. If you care about age verification then steer clear of Red Hat associated distros like Fedora. Mint is also straightforward.

My father, ex military, always said the Police aren’t there you protect you, they only act after the fact.

That aside, this system will never changed as long as the 1% are incentivised to maintain a certain level of poverty - poverty is intentionally built into the system. And organisations like the police and ‘justice’ system are set up to protect the 1% while giving the illusion of protection and justice to the average person.

Man, that feels like some tin foil hat crazy right there. I wish it was.
