This seems more like correlation than anything else. Not that it’s necessarily wrong but it seems very abstract. For example it says an hour of tv time is bad, but that’s just consumption and it also doesn’t mention, for example, engagement. It says some types of content can reduce focus, sure, but people usually don’t offer that type of nuance when they say “screen time bad!”. It also says clearly that there are other types of content that are valuable. It doesn’t have an explanation why reading a book is more or less engaging and helpful than say, watching the same story on tv?

Point is im 100% confident there are specific things that are bad, but the blanket ban seems silly and ineffective, potentially harming the child.

I didn’t claim to understand it but I do claim to remember my sister trying to explain it to me, and that computer only existed during a certain time period.

Nah a lot of people now think screen time is bad without evidence. Never would be allowed to get on a computer at 3-4.

Why not?

Oh, that’s what you wanted to be able to do.

Bye

Edit: Sadly the absurdness is the other direction

See other thread

Don’t even need root just need to download pretty much any option other than the stock file manager. Amaze, simple, whatever, it’s all better than the garbage google “engineers” made.

So… When it was easy for you. Good job biting the hands that fed.

Same I want your laptop on xp

What an out of touch take

Chrome only has 2 buttons

As long as you know the foot guns and know why flatpak is important…isnt a good starting point.

Definitely more, it’s not 2001 anymore.

Actually, yes. Because it’s just data. It might change system behaviors in annoying ways when programs read that data, but it’s just data.

Executing curl | sudo bash because docker said so, or some flavor of the week python packages manager says so, or because you want to run tailscale and your distro doesn’t have a package…any of those scenarios relies much much much much much more on trust and is a major security flaw in how applications are distributed on Linux.
