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..

@ozzelot @f0x @zaire if they find a way around it, seem to be persistent and are letting that form of rebelliousness collide with important aspects of life.. sit down and have a conversation with the kid, maybe have them see a psychiatrist if you can afford it.. because having been a silent rebel for the later part of my middle school, and the entirety of my high school career.. that mindset let my bad habits carry into college and now i'm stuck cleaning up the less i left behind mentally

@ozzelot @f0x @zaire @kirby I don't remember all the different software products my mom tried, but I do recall "NetNanny" and I figured out how to crash that process so I could have unlimited internet access again. I was very good at finding bypasses for these things.
