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..

@ivan @kirby @zaire abuse and mistreatment being normalized to the point it gets called "basic parenting" doesnt make it not abuse or mistreatment, nor does everything need to be "fascism" to be a problem..??

@Li @ivan @zaire what part of this feature screams "abuse and mistreatment"
Show threadLi ~ Crystal SystemMar 18

@kirby @zaire @ivan the part where its tracking your activity and restricting your access to things; and reporting it to someone who considers themselves to own you ??

the fact that if you did this to anyone else it would be called out for what it is?

Show threadKirbyMar 18
@Li @zaire @ivan >someone who considers themselves to own you

because legally that is what caretakers are considered, people that care for a child

>the fact that if you did this to anyone else it would be called out for what it is?

that's a different thing entirely. reframing the feature like this is not in good form and you know it isn't

@kirby @zaire @ivan its not a "different thing entirely" its the same thing, just applied to someone im supposed to consider an "acceptable target" because theyve been un-personed by soceity and the world at large ... its not "reframing the feature" its "this doenst magically stop being abusive because its done to children" actually ..

also insisting that caretakers legally own their children is not doing you any favours here, being "owned" by someone is the abusive thing, the fact its "legal" doesnt change that i dont give a flying fuck what the law says, law is itself an oppressive force; fuck laws,

@Li @zaire @ivan the fact you seemed to be appalled to the concept of a caretaker in general speaks a lot to your character. our philosophies are fundamentally incompatible, good day

@kirby @zaire @ivan i wouldnt mind if caretakers were actually caretakers and not just "i get to decide everything for you and disregard your rights and override your autonomy at every turn" which is what they actually are .. yes, i wouldnt mind non-oppressive caretakers but someone who actively oppresses me labeled "caretaker" can go fuck off actually ive had enough of that in my life

bedtime isnt abuse, regulating what content your child consumes as a parent isnt abuse, and unrestricted computer access to a 6 year old is neglect. im not going to argue this because it should be common sense lol
Show threadLi ~ Crystal SystemMar 18

@ivan @kirby @zaire both those examples violate autonomy, so yes it is, no amount of wrapping it up in "im hurting you to protect you" makes it not

-- the fact that it has to be forced upon them shows it to be .. the fact the response is typically try get around this bullshit highlights it,

we dont get around and evade helpful shit.
