What is it? Like a battle royale game?

Children, to varying degrees, are not capable of making all of their own decisions or suffering the consequences of all their own actions, should they be allowed. Setting aside the moral panic of the month, there really are many things available on the internet that are actively harmful to kids; predators, scams, disinformation, viruses. As a child with unrestricted internet access you will encounter all of the above.

I agree with you that children deserve free access to information. I'm not pearl clutching about Timmy reading a book about a character with two mommies or something. Do you really think kids are better off learning every racial slur and reactionary opinion before the age of 10? That's what dominates the internet as it exists today. That is what will be deliberately served to them by the algorithms.

teach them the skills they need to keep themselves safe online?

You can do both, just like how you install outlet covers for the 5% of the time your back is momentarily turned, not as an alternative to watching your kids.

I don't have to be able to pin down the precise moment you should be allowed to make all your own mistakes to tell you it isn't at age 8. If you're 30 and still want to put forks in electrical outlets, have at it. You understand the consequences. That isn't stripping children of their person hood.

It isn't about being anyone's property, their brains aren't done cooking and they can't make sound decisions.

I've wondered why we don't have some sort of multi-account thing. Say you have a .world account and a .ml account. That would give you great coverage. If you could somehow link those two (or more) accounts then you could merge your feeds and post anywhere. Maybe a frontend could do this.

Finding out your partner was using AI to text you would feel more hurtful than getting cheated on.

Every micro-angstrom and so on.

She typed all lower case though. That means she said it quietly.

If you have to read PDFs regularly having a vertical monitor is a lifesaver.

On the arch wiki for SSDM I found this:

Changes to your display configuration made in a Plasma Wayland session (e.g. monitor layout, resolution, etc) will not persist to SDDM. To make them persist open Plasma's System Settings and navigate to Startup and Shutdown> Login Screen (SDDM) and click "Apply Plasma Settings...". You will need to have permission to perform this action.

You should give that a try

I've just been logging in upside down for a couple years. My monitor's vesa Mount is like 3 inches from the top for some reason so having it upside down is the only way I can get a reasonable ergonomic height

Which display manager are you using?

 

She knew the waist size of every person (particularly kids) in the area, and would drive around with boxes full of jeans. She would mend, patch, and fit them, and collect any unwanted, worn out, or outgrown denim

rat-salute-2 to you, jean lady, my hero.
