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..

@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?

@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
