Thank you kind stranger

I am not convinced we can find a cross that is able to bear his weight

Sigh 😔

Considering how bad Afghanistan was with half population and no stranglehold on critical shortcut... yeah not a chance. USA population is what 300mil+? Iran is about 90+.

Slowly? I think our definitions of slowly may differ

Clean as you go... i should follow what I preach... but its hard

There are already parental control packages exist in the Linux infrastructure which are not tied to low level modules such as systemd https://github.com/biglinux/big-parental-controls if you want, you can install it. Its fork is available in the Arch ecosystem for example that mentions it complies with the BR implementation (https://github.com/jersobh/arch-parental-controls)

• This is entirely optional package that claims to be privacy orientated (I haven't tried it) that a system administrator can install if they wish.
• My router, an Asus one has parental controls settings already
• My ISP router, bog standard one has parental controls settings already
• My ISP account has parental controls settings already at account level, if Ia m not technical enough, I can call them and ask them to set it up
• My phone provider has parental controls

Why do I need MORE parental controls shoved down my throat when I do not desire it nor wish for it? But this time in a core component of alot of linux distributions.

Oh and before you tell me "but ExoticCherryPigeon, its an optional field", sure, but here is the example of the slippery slope curtsey of UK:

Take a look at the history of this act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_age_verification_in_the_United_Kingdom
We are now at the point where I need to use a CC to tell some 3rd party that I want a wank.

And what else is happening now? They are suing websites not based in UK! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Safety_Act_2023#Enforcement, but that's not all, although not at the law stage, there are some talks about also now restricting VPN's https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/uk-government-says-it-may-age-restrict-or-limit-childrens-vpn-use-following-new-consultation.

A lot of websites also not based in UK jurisdiction have simply self censored UK users before they get ISP level blocked.

If this is not an example of a slippery slope, I don't know what is!

TL;DR tools already exist, we do not need more tools that will be a privacy nightmare

This law affects exactly 0 users on my entire content... So why do I need this nonsense? Even systemd change is bullshit and doesn't affect me or anyone on my continent.

This law affects so few people in the world, they can bugger off with their changes. No one on my entire content is affected by this stupidity.

But just think how much taxpayer's funding can be redirected to private enterprises to further their owner's American dreams of being billionaires, corruption is only corruption for the poor!

Lutris furfils several roles that a bunch of .desktop entries will not.

• Its a list of games
• you can search it by title
• you can tag them
• you can sort them in different ways
• you can use wine for some launches, proton for others or native

although i don't use it, you can log into your steam account (i think also gog?) to get access to games from there.

Think of it, as a more of a plex/jellyfin library for games than a bunch of video files spread around your hdd. I don't want to remember which games are wine friendly and which need proton or are linux native.

To a complete surprise of no one with a working brain cell...
