gnome 50 implementing antifeatures, angry youthlib rant

Show

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

@zaire not all of us have dealt with savory souls as parents but i'm not sure lashing out at the void for what is seemingly a well intentioned feature is the right answer here

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

nor is introducing a toxic waste sinkhole the right answer either..

We live in a world where it is increasingly difficult for parents to monitor everything their child does (esp if they have to work 3 jobs to pay the rent). Once they're handed a device with an internet connection, all bets are off. But autistic drones on Fedi scream at the idea like they're being smothered in the cradle.

Was it abuse to not allow your kids to have access to Penthouse?

Was it abuse to not allow your kids to watch R rated movies?

Was it abuse to not allow kids to read smut novels?

of course not, it was just parenting.

Could this technology be used to prevent kids from having access to LGBTQ information? Yes. Is that "abuse"? Very very debatable.

Was it abuse to force your kids to go outside and play and take away their Nintendo? Or limit them to only 2 hours per day? Of course not

Is it "abuse" to force your kids to go to church, or to refuse to let them to go to church? Nope. (within reason, unless it's a crazy conversion therapy "church" type thing)

Is it "abuse" to only let your kid have the car until 10pm on Saturday nights?

Suddenly we apply this concept to a computer and everyone loses their goddamn minds


Should we petition Gnome to include a default blocklist for all Furry content? Absolutely :smugdog:
