I suspect I am going to get a lot of use out of this new sticker design.

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

judging online information quality based on site where it appeared: a comprehensive guide

- "How To (...)" in the title, cookie banners, lots of side-information written in a way that wastes your time: SEO slop, don't bother. You might as well make a wild guess, same likelyhood it'll be correct

- official docs for $x, autogenerated by a rube-goldberg machine and automagically pushed into whatever-pages by a fully-skidoodled, post-quantum CI pipeline: describes everything, except the exact fact you're looking for.

- no HTTPS, tilde in the name, DNS with 4+ dots, likely hosted on some dusty uni server, white background with absolutely no CSS: one of the best resources on the subject. you question how it's even still online

- site titled "Garry's blog", default wordpress favicon, last update either previous month or 12 years ago: golden. crystal-clear exposition, good examples and screenshots framed so well you don't even need arrows pointing places. likely used as a cheat-sheet daily by everyone in the community

The tech industry spent twenty years turning users into consumers, instruments into appliances, and technical literacy into a niche hobby for weirdos. They succeeded.
