I started making my own games on an Atari ST at 12 years of age. Never considered the fun I had to be “exploited labor” when I let someone else play them.

I don’t care about what other parents do, I know what we do. The kids can chat as much as they want with their friends - outside of Roblox.

Correct. It’s much easier to just set the chat controls to “no one”.

I will fight tooth and nail for your right to freely show your stupidity online.

Sober is single-handedly responsible for me being able to use Linux for my youngest kid’s computer too. Absolutely awesome.

Not enough uptake to become viable I assume. I put $5 into my account monthly but couldn’t spend it anywhere really.

No. Creators getting paid “magically” through ad revenue where any other form of payment system has higher friction is the pattern that needs to get defeated. Flattr was well on their way to a model that could’ve worked, but it still needs the consumers to take an extra step to “fund” what then gets distributed.

Those who produce videos with an idea of making money off views will never be able to move away from Youtube until such a system gets invented.

This … is actually awesome.

If all Firefox users donated to Mozilla it could work. Alas, we don’t.

I am the word-best expert

Great idea - thanks for sharing!

What markets can’t you buy Steamdeck in? (honest question)

Death by Scrolling

Huh, I’ve been playing that since release on my Bazzite Steam box and haven’t noticed any issues.

Indeed I only offered up my experience since you mentioned self-hosting and family.

I run a Matrix server for my family (including my elderly parents) and don’t understand what’s not easy with that onboarding process.

Agree, this is exactly what I went with recently in the same situation.

should be outside playing

That’s the “They’re growing up in a different world to what you did” I mentioned

Enjoy your future relationship with your kids when they realize they’re less prepared for the world than their peers.

Why become a parent if you don’t care about your children’s well-being? They’re growing up in a different world to what you did and you cannot apply “We didn’t have social media”-thinking on them.

Teach them about the evil algorithms and let them learn from experience.

I’ve done Red Hat in VMware on Windows 10, and then run two layers deep Red Hat VMs with hvm kvm under that one.

Not recommended, really unstable.

Only cameras I recommend are not consumer priced :/ Axis. You do get full access, can run your own code and offline etc.
