I think watching over kids without them knowing is the key. Time limit is stupid in my opinion. Obviously porn sites and other appropriate sites will be blocked network wide and when the time comes I'll slowly teach the child how to circumvent the measures and even create their own.

As you have pointed out, feeling under pressure will definitely detrimental for the child development so it's best to avoid that.

It's almost like they are intentionally trying to get in trouble.

Yup that's it! Thanks for finding it!

There was a joke in my local community that is something along these lines:

An African poor kid has seen a Nintendo console somewhere and asks his dad for one. Dad says no, understandably given the circumstances. The kid then makes a replica using cardboard and other shit he finds. Dad posts this on social media and it gains huge attention. Nintendo's CEO learns about this and travels to Africa in his private jet to meet the family personally. The CEO arrives there and sues the family for copyright infringement for 1,000,000 dollars.

I don't think this is a malicious act by Google, yet alone intentional at all. (English is not my native language and I'm unsure of how this sentence turned out. Is my grammar correct?)

Google uses a shit ton of automation on it's services. Youtube being the biggest example with all the unfair bans and copyright strikes. I believe this to be simply a case of those.

I find both bad. There. Take your presumptions away.

I don't know I never felt the need to customize the terminal. I just like what it comes with. It feels wrong to change that. Black background and colored text is fine. The rest of the OS though damn it's like a fucking birthday party! Nothing's at default ffs

I think that's pretty reasonable? If there are good offers for pre-ordering, why not?

Way better than pre-ordering video games. But that's a pretty low bar anyways.

Hopefully there will be none.

I agree with all you've said. Especially the monopoly part is where I disagreed the most. This is a good document to inform people about the ideology behind computers. Well, would be if not for those mistakes you have mentioned.

Other than those, as you have said, it's a thought-provoking essay.

Of course, you can always say some stuff like "damn who hurt you" and leave the discussion if you wish.

Thanks for obeying! Much appreciated.
