For the first time it is now possible for parents and guardians to monitor screen time and set limits for child accounts, including bedtime schedules.

ok. go fuck yourself. go to hell you abuse enabling pieces of shit who pushed for this

the foundations for web filtering support has also been added — a backend service that can enforce content filters for child accounts once the user interface is completed in future updates

you fucking wannabe authoritarian censorship tech manufacturers do not belong in FOSS. begone

okay, already pretty maddening, what else is up

this important work to make GNOME more accessible to young people

you’re using “accessibility” as an excuse for this oppression tooling? that’s fucking spicy wow. “we’re enabling parental abuse for accessibility!!!” wow go fuck yourself. i repeat, go burn in hell. idiots like this are why the idea of hell was concieved

fuck it, apologists - come at me and get blocked: #GNOME

@shia @puniko perhaps the only use for slop generators, feeding plausible looking soulless slop to the education system’s matchingly soulless assignments

@shia @puniko if youre a neurodifferent kid being tortured with vague assignments circa produce at least n pages of generic statements that carry no meaning on a topic that could be summarized in a single sentence, welp slop generators can be a lifeline. like there you have a website slash app thats purpose built for producing countless pages of generic statements that carry no meaning but are plausibly vaguely related to a topic. easy-ish way of getting the abusive system off your ass.

schools have been playing a stupid game and are now winning stupid prizes. “oh no the kids are turning to le gpt instead of using their brains!!” how about you start giving assignments that are more suited to a human brain than a slop generator for once

@hellomiakoda @librewolf ? hardening binaries is a pretty normal thing in software

@librewolf is “STL Hardening” a compile time thing? or something fingerprinting-related?

@Li it depends,,, some plural systems are perfectly happy being as they are

@puniko ym the tiktok over activitypub thing?

@lumi thank you

we shouldn’t maintain the pretense so-called “law enforcement” aren’t everyone’s #1 threat actor. if a security feature isn’t secure against cops, it’s utterly useless on several levels. corpo proprietaryslop is both way easier for cops to pressure into betraying its users, and much harder to hold accountable for it.

“proprietary software isn’t inherently less secure” yes it is lmao. the attached meme comes to mind

It’s Fireslop you only like it because Servo isn’t ready yet

@soatok @shitpostalotl what about speculative execution

@lispi314 sounds like a good time to again bring up the fact “[the internet/social media/whatever modern technology] sucks” usually just means “capitalism sucks” if coming from people who can’t imagine a world without late stage capitalism

@soatok i love evangelizing software but in my humble opinion a prerequisite to that should be the software in question actually being functional beyond a pre-alpha quality and matrix is not

@dalias @vfrmedia @onepict @fasterandworse decentralization and volunteering and running things on the scale of communities is how you make free things sustainable ^^ the opposite of that is an absurd stance frankly.

@LunaDragofelis @mjdxp @hellomiakoda it is in fact quite shitty to reply to a post asking people to show basic respect towards their fellow fedizens with word-nitpicking mockeries

@ezra tankies can go fuck themselves

@mitsunee @rebane2001 if you unironically enforce “no piracy” on behalf of the cops out of your own volition, may your woes be many

this is exactly what i call obeying in advance. helping enforce authoritarian laws out of cowardice

don’t be a cop implies don’t voluntarily act on behalf of cops.

@rebane2001

and while i do not publicly endorse piracy (for obvious reasons)

the reasons aren’t actually obvious

it’s directly against the spirit of free software to paywall any part of your project including the latest binaries :neocat:

@aeva @cwebber go off the vibes/vague concept not the word itself

@FlitsFlash @puniko @volpeon fediblocking should indeed be a last resort, reserved for cases where you’re abso-fucking-lutely sure the instance is by and for people who are full of shit and talking won’t help
