Also the sleep function on Steam Deck is pretty good. I bring mine to work and grab some offline playtime during my 15 minute breaks, and sometimes during my 30 min lunch after i eat. No Man’s Sky is chill and easy to pickup/putdown, Minecraft as well. I’m sure other titles would work as well.

I could use a brush up on my Latin, but is that whale killing Virus basically called “Whale Killer Virus”?

I agree, the average situation is certainly rife with more nuance. For example, my young ones play Minecraft, despite that being implicated as a vector used by pedophiles to find and groom victims. However, I long ago did like you have suggested and limited the online options and communications my kids can interact with, as well as using that as an opportunity to speak with them about why those protections where in place.

My issue with Roblox is that as a company, they routinely downplay the role their platform plays in such crimes, and have actively prevented such activity from being stopped while taking no steps to filter or moderate such things from their end. Yes, parents need to do more then just hand a child a screen so they stop needing attention, but a platform that exploits predator usage is exploiting children.

Now some parents may not be knowledgeable about this, and I can understand that “you don’t know what you don’t know”. However, a parent who chooses to sour a family holiday because the whim of their spawn was not bowed to is not, generally speaking, a good parent. The combination of this with the usage of a pedophile-supporting platform aimed at children while clearly not setting healthy boundaries with the child, are the reason I would say this person is a bad parent. It’s not one factor, its the culmination of multiple that result in this reasoning.

So your sister actively consents to her son being on a platform riddled with pedophiles and expects you to be complicit as well.

You where nice, I would have told her she was a terrible parent, why, and then ask her to leave. I’ve become no-contact with toxic family over issues before, and I’ll do it again.

First choose a version of linux to install on it, then you can proceed.

Unfortunately the country I was born in, the USA, is also one that voted against the international resolution to define food as a human right. 😕

Yup. It was designed as a troll to get sword geeks to comment about the inconsistency and then call them out on it.

Gooooood Morning Night City!

According to the articles I read about it, the gauges are a digital screen which changes to the backup camara when in reverse.

I have Finch set to auto-update, so I’m not sure if it gives you separate notifications for that.

Finch is pretty close. Free as well. It’s intended to help with self care and mental wellness, could be a good fit for you.

The problem arises when the person giving those orders authority hears “By order of the king” instead of “by directive of the president”.

The US doesn’t want a king, it was a big deal here about 250 years ago. Looking like it’s gonna be a big reminder for the 250 anniversary.

Gross, it looks way too much like iOS for my taste. Glad I’m switching away from Google controlled android anyway, I’ll be customized back to the old stuff if I have to.

Guillotines

No no, he has a point…

1. Don’t bring it
2. Don’t talk about anyone or anything even remotely linked to the protest in earshot of it

Yes, for three reasons.

1. I judge the color to be sure I’m not getting sick and it’s just a regular need to blow my nose.
2. I check for the presence of any blood, since I work around materials and in environments that can cause alot of dry air, giving me a higher incidence of nose bleeds.
3. My work environments are very dusty, and if Inhave alot of black or grey dust when I blow my nose, I know I need to clean my airways when I get the chance so the dust isn’t in there longer then a day.

At this time of year I imagine alot of peppermint and pumpkin spice flavors

My aunt only ever knew one thing about me, that I grew up liking Harry Potter. First I got all the books, split across two years. Then I got all the movies as they came out, up to the 5th one. After that I was apparently too old for her to know what I liked, I got a gift card to a gas station for 3 years in a row. I mean hey $20 in gas wasn’t a totally awful thing as a late teenager, so I guess it could have been worse.

I feel bad for the kids, those candles must have been waxy and disappointing.
