You patient enough to build a distro for yourself?

If so, Gentoo.

That’s great to hear! Welcome, and have frustrating fun!

If you don’t mind me asking; in your context, what does “leftist” mean? When I hear the term, it’s usually meant as a pejorative for some nebulous group the utterer doesn’t like.

The transition won’t be painless. You’re going to have to learn new things, especially if you’re familiar with the windows file system and how to work within that.

Linux doesn’t use “drive letters” for mount points, so you’ll have to learn that.

Many games through steam or other game managers are just as easy if not easier than in Windows. Some are more challenging.

If you’re tired enough of Windows that you’re willing to push through some discomfort and new learning, then it’s time.

Once you get to know the distro you choose (Ubuntu is fine), you’ll just work, and it won’t get in your way.

When I was younger, there use to be “public service announcements” on TV that provided education for the kids and adults watching.

Politicians are humans, just like us (with MAYBE just a larger helping of narcism). They’re also required to work within the law.

I understand the reason I’m getting down votes. We’re in a really really frustrating time. Lots of angry people (me too).

The underpaid clerk already sells booze and cigarettes.

The age token would be free at the time of acquisition (paid by taxes of course).

Yes, you’d get the “buy me a porn token please!” request behind the 7-11, but I’d bet it would be far less frequent than requests to buy booze.

I agree, children shouldn’t be on tiktok or any of these kinds of platforms.

And yes, it should be social pressure rather than legal pressure.

What I like about the convenience store idea, is that the certification process is decentralized. An app wouldn’t be.

This is how it works in Estonia?

Remember that “they” (at least here in the US) are as varied in opinion as are we.

The ones who have a sincere desire to protect children want them to have limited exposure to content online.

My personal thought is children should generally not be engaging others online, but it should be a social push (“don’t talk to strangers online” “don’t allow your children to be unsupervised online” ).

As for arresting child abusers, we seem to be in the habit of putting them in high office.

That’s an interesting idea! Provides a level of abstraction, and maintains a semblance of privacy.

No reason it can’t be both.

I’ve found the best tool for carving up PDFs is xournal++. It does a better job at maintaining formatting than Draw as well.

Cool! I’ve got the N100, and experience is similar. I’m trying to build up some motivation to use it daily for a while.

Good on you for the development work, and congrats on you accepted pull!

You’re right. I had the same thought about the definition of “account”.

I suspect support from European governments.
