@mischievoustomato They need the resources to do so before a stranger does it for them, whether it's over the internet, a school visit, or bad influences from peers. If the parents refuse to take interest then they have failed in my eyes and forfeit their right to complain about kids acting against their best interests.
@kaia Apart from sleep hygiene, I don't agree that relationship stuff should be taught in schools for the same reason I oppose teeth cleaning lessons here. The state is taking the responsibility of the parents from them, not that I'm confident in parents under 30 giving their young kids smartphones, tablets and unfettered internet access.
@yomiel System76 moved their system design in-house so you'd be paying for their R&D, etc. costs as well. I'm struggling to find work so can't justify buying one, even though it fits some of my requirements.
I'm holding out for a low-power ARM server that's performant, accessible and affordable.
@lxo I didn't see this in my notifications. Apologies for that, I'm aware you're moving to a new account.
Most people who use tech for work purposes expect a good UX. It should not be mutually exclusive from inner workings that do not disrespect the user or harms their freedom, but I don't live in a world of ideals.
From my experience, there's a window of computer users who would be open to learning about how their tech works. I am within said window and am aware, and excitable, when tech that meets said ideal comes about. I don't expect people to care about the same things I do and that's fine by me. If they want to, they will when it suits them (even if that means being burned by software that screws them over).
Nobody here advocates dumbing down, but keeping things overcomplicated or overengineered is one way of making it not worthwhile. Nobody wants to use tools that get in their way.
Unrelated, my Fifine M9 is still in China due to CNY. I am slowly turning my attention back to what I started before I was whisked away on an unplanned visit.
