But can we talk about how lasseiz faire we used to be about children online security.
“Lasseiz faire” online security was applicable to all individuals, it wasnt directed to a specific group. It also makes no sense to look at what we used to do when online totalitarianism and discriminatory segregation is arguably causing more significant damage to everyone involved.
I agree, he is a type of person to anchor on to anything that can sustain his own egocentric power. In fact, the time ticks till he decides that releasing another batch of Epstein files would prove advantageous to distract people from the genocide and war crimes he is commiting.
Unlike the state mandated garbage, this OS is more realistic with the capabilities and expectations of its users.
Fighting against pedophilia
How exactly is fighting against a mental illness going to solve anything? The majority of cases right now, Epstein, et all, are rapists not pedophiles in that context.
Pedophilia isn’t going to magically dissapear, alas it should be less scrutinised such that those who are I’ll are helped. Rape is a crime which should be fighted against, an illness is not a crime.
Marriage on its own is a problematic concept. The problems with child and essentially teen marriage are the tip of the iceberg.
It is the case where thousands of people past the common age are still being abused. And even within countries where the children’s rights have been ratified, those individuals are yet again prone to abuse when they reach the arbitrary number which is the common age.
child driver’s license Well, teenager, but that’s still a child
Not to be pedantic, but make up your mind here. A child is physically unable to drive nor do anything that requires complex thought. A teenager is not a child, both by definition and by physical aspect. This is essentially ageism, by infantilizing teenagers, including your past self. Especially, since you’re correlating adulthood to that particular time period later on.
I agree, we shouldn’t be painting false pictures like this. The hard truth is that being an adult is objectively better, no matter what experiences you had during childhood or teenhood.
The thing is, romanticizing lack of rights is what truly is the problem here, this isn’t focused on the age - but the lack of control. Its usually this aspect which is included in these “childhood romanticism” posts. Age relation is just the consequence for this lack of rights.
Ultimately, autonomy should exist for all people - no matter the age. This is particularly important for teenagers which seem to be constantly ignored within society. Failing to understand this is what will lead to another “Australia style” blanket ban.
The thing about these comparisons is they are usually one-way, disregarding some of the more important aspects within the current situations.
It’s such a common occurrence on the internet
Let’s not project the blame on the internet. The problem is everywhere, the rampant misogyny is out of control within all dimensions. The system is designed to indoctrinate and churn out misoginy just like racism and ageism is.
I do appreciate that you are refering to “most” guys rather than being age specific; also the rampant rise in mysoginy isn’t their fault. It is helpful to look at the big picture, to realise that men and women of all ages are forcefully fed propaganda used to further divide us all.
That’s why these laws are completely delusional. Being a kid is one thing, but being a teenager is another thing. Laws like this disregard teenagers - and later on expect them to know everything at 18. What a stupid world.
If you’re using Linux you’re already 99% smarter than the people making these stupid laws. At this point your age doesnt matter.
think opposite of Epstein circle
In no way the Epstein circle is the opposite. Rape is not love, those people are rapists not pedophiles.
Agreed, it was the next step from pulseaudio. To say it wasnt problematic is incorrect, as it had many problems and needed a lot of manual intervention.
Nowadays, pipewire appears alot more stable, even with the compatibility layers for when stuff uses pulseaudio.
borderline paedophilic
That’s not what paedophilic even means. Manipulative, maybe. But not close to paedophilic. Precisely, teleiophilia is the type of chronophila that is present there.
“Green coal”
Yeah, the US ain’t evolving - it’s devolving.
And those who are/want to go off grid:
Straight to jail.
“Have you ever tried having lower standards of living” said the conservative to the homeless man.
In a sane world this would be true, but unfortunately we live in a capitalist hell scape where its the exact opposite.
That’s not a feature thats exclusive to open source though. Circular reasoning like this just distracts from the fact that software just like hardware is constantly evolving, even in personal spaces. Thinking someone can do better has no relevance on the “open source” aspect or the political leaning.
