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

@[email protected] yeah,,,,

i've always just laughed at the "parental controls" thing in gnome
if your kid is smart enough to be using linux instead of an ipad or windows or whatever, they're probably smart enough to either find a bypass or just reinstall the computer?

"okay pookie here's your fresh gnu/linux desktop, mommy set your bedtime to 9pm and blocked super tux kart after 6"this won't happen for 99% of young people using gnome, since they set up their OS themselves, have root, and can set their age to any number they want

the sheer uselessness of this anti-feature for most of users doesn't excuse the shitty ageist intentions behind it. and sadly, just from how many users gnome has, some creature out there is probably going to be oppressed with this

gnome devs should know better

My dad wouldn't touch Linux as a desktop OS with a 39.5 ft pole, and for a while, he tried preventing me from doing such a thing myself under the excuse of, you guessed it, lack of parental controls (at least that's one of his excuses; he makes his intents way too obvious). I still did it anyways.
