Have you considered going DEless? Its been a while since I did but back then I was able to get a modern looking system with Openbox (amongst others but thats what I settled on). I dont know what the state of DEless windows managers are these days but I’ve seen some very nice looking setups. Might be something to consider?

Or Bitwarden (can selfhost too)

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.

Sure I’ll bite about what was a fucking awful time in our lives. I don’t know they saw because my kid was so traumatised they were unable to speak specifics. But they were able to draw some of it which I am not going to put in detail here for what should be obvious reasons. But it wasn’t vanilla that’s for sure. To adults, I’m sure it would be fine. To a kid it would look like violent abuse.

But hey, what would a fucking child abuse survivor and parent of a a kid who also suffered abuse know. Ffs, I thought I escaped Reddits gas lighting of abuse survivors and ignorance of academic studies which show the same.

I’m done with this convo.

You don’t need to be a developer to read diffs and package builds. I have memory and cognitive impairment and manage fine. I’m also not remotely into software programming.

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?

Sorry for your loss digital hugs She sounds like a goodest girl 💜

Calico but she has some orange so still counts. She never gets the brain cell. Ever. Our orange is much, much smarter than her which should tell you something lol
