Who wants to use a proprietary app for something like that and let it collect data? The FOSS ecosystem lacks some essential stuff

    Apparently you sprang forth hale and hearty in the form we have before us, skipping the childhood/teenage instar.

    Kids be kids sometimes.

        I don’t underestimate any of it, frankly. I have two.

        Kids have an amazing ability to understand things.

        They also have the ability to fuck things up with the best and worst of them. Kids are kids. Assuming that all kids have some innate ability to understand things typicallly beyond their grasp because you talked to them about something is not only a fools errand but liable to bite one in the ass too. It’s case by case. As it should be.

      I mean, my parents were immigrants who barely spoke English, so growing up in the US I didn’t have anyone to actually talk to me and explain these things from a parental viewpoint.

      I think having frank conversations with kids about how to manage screen time is good. I also see the point of setting digital restrictions as a means for safety. What I don’t see the point of is spying on kids’ screen activity and making them feel that their privacy isnt being respected.

      My parents basically took the approach of all screen usage is bad and then left me unattended to navigate the 2010s internet all by myself as a kid. I didn’t even have the option to talk to a parental figure about anything I was seeing/doing online.
