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..

All of this is what should have existed years ago. You don't need to know the age of the user for any of this to work. Or is parents trying to prevent their kids from having addictions on electronics and seeing content they probably shouldn't see a bad thing? Mind you, web filtering can already be easily implemented with DNS filtering.
