The only reason more people aren't talking about Linux at this point is normies don't know about it, and nerds online just don't give a shit and declare defeat because they couldn't get their 80 year old mom on it.

I put my mom on Linux 2-3 days ago. It actually works great because Winblows 10 was eating more RAM than you can imagine and all she wanted to do was zoom call and excel and chrome.

@matana obviously you have to do things in moderation and not hover over them and take away all of their privacy because they still deserve some too. But education first and foremost is good. For my kids it'll probably be something like using KeePass so I have access to their passwords, requiring a password to get on the computer that's in the living room, and not giving them a smartphone at age 12 that they can do whatever the fuck on. Will they get around blocks and use stuff at their friends houses? Yeah, probably, but that's what proper education is for, including internet privacy and security :)

My state is planning on suing social media companies due to the harm they "knowingly cause children."

Here's a crazy idea: don't let your kids use social media! Or heavily limit their use of it!

Children are a blessing from the Lord Jeff. The world is not overpopulated and it would be impossible to overpopulate it. If fact the vast majority of the Earth's surface is uninhabited. If you took every human being on earth and put them shoulder to shoulder, back to back they would cover the area of the city of Jacksonville Florida.

Actually having a large population is a strength and an asset to a nation. China and Japan are finally realizing this and relaxing laws and promoting families and children.

And if your community is too small to justify a forum, just get a simple shoutbox or guestbook on your website. Those usually don't require accounts to use so users don't have to jump through hoops just to be a part of your community.

Dear gamedevs: please stop hosting your communities on Reddit and/or Discord and get an actual forum. You player-base can cope with it, trust me.

what's the point of having state surveillance when the state doesn't do anything about what they surveil? :thonktinfoil:

We are at a point in American entertainment where we watch more bad content than good content, and talk about it more too…and then we get mad that the shows we’re watching are bad

Rearranged the UI. The health bar is now on the left. Looks much more natural.
