Somehow, I doubt the Venn Diagram of parents with the time, resources and energy to move their kids off technology without hurting their education versus those with the time, resources and energy to get their kids their own laptops is much less round and overlapping than a singular circle. In otherwords, the exceptions on either end are just that, tiny little slivers, and neither close to anything like “the majority”.
You’re half-right that the OS can seem irrelavent, but suggesting Linux is far less extreme than suggesting the removal of tech entirely.
These kids would rather have Steam-decks. They would probably learn more from owning them, and yes, being forced to take regular analog breaks from their use. Steam-decks run Linux, btw…
… but no, an educational, social, play and extra-curricular world defined entirely by parents’ biases is obviously best, the one thing we should all agree on.
No seriously, stay away from my kids. Their hand-writing is probably better than yours.
That’s why I asked if you read the article and now I’m wondering if you have experience raising and schooling children. I did read it, the article doesn’t just focus on ‘windows bad’ or ‘AI bad’. I have schooled and raised several kids, including homeschooling and fostered, so not only am I aware that each kid works better with a different approach, many parents, and I know this from personal experience, prefer that their kids do and submit handwritten work. Whatever their rationale is.
You’re half right…suggesting Linux is far less extreme
And fine for the group that is concerned and wants to maintain teaching with tech. However, as I said that’s not the only reason or rationale for parents.
These kids would rather have Steam Decks
A lot of kids would.
Steam decks run Linux
And?
but no…
Again, that lack of knowledge about raising them is showing.
Stay away from my kids
So no need to be an arsehole about it because nothing I’ve said suggested that kind of response. That one deserves a ‘fuck you’. Given what you’ve showed here, I’d be somewhat concerned about their well-being.
I’ve probably changed more daipers than all but a few of the women you’ve met, but do go-on. “Stay away from my kids” deserves a fuck you? Go to hell where you belong. My kids aren’t sheltered from the internet and the wider world - I would be in prison if I were half the skeeve you’ve implied I was - but people like you rightly give them the ick.
You have no more understanding of technology or proper parenting than these, frankly, luddites, who themselves seem more ignorant than your average amish or mennonite. Those groups at least grasp the choices they must make to support their lifestyles in the modern-world and make them with intention versus faith and belief, rather than from a place of “I don’t control it from top to bottom, so its gross”.
Probably worn more as an adult too judging by your reactions.
Go to hell…
if I were half the skeeve
people like you rightly give them the ick
Fuck, you really are unbalanced aren’t you? Nothing I’ve said has warranted your reaction and it underwrites my point about the wellbeing of your children.
That’s what deserves a fuck you, arsehole; your insinuation that I can’t be trusted around children.
you have no more understanding…
How the fuck would you know.
I read your stupid article
Los Angeles suburbanites
really enlightened
I wrote no article about Los Angeles suburbanites champ. You need to stop sniffing Ajax sunshine.
Nothing I’ve said was any less warrented than your “fuck you” bullshit. I know when I’m diving into the mud, unlike you.
Also, now who didn’t read the article from the OP? Somehow, it doesn’t surprise me that looking up the locations of places mentioned in an article you’ve repeatedly attacked others for “not reading” is a step far beyond your wheel-house.
… Yeah, no. Nothing I’ve said to you was meant for anyone else, and I doubt you’re a day older than I, almost as much as I doubt any child who has escaped your clutches ever talked to you again.
Wait, are you still on that non-sense where calling it your article means calling you the author? If you struck me as someone capable of feeling shame rather than hoarding personal affronts not entirely for yo like little treasures, I guess I could have called it “your source”, but let’s be real, that was never going to help you back to the support group you’ve stumbled out-of.
First three words of it were the location, by the way. Imagine thinking the average mid-town Los Angeles family has such a nice yard…
Obviously you’re not the author, or your stanning of this non-sense shouldn’t have dipped into such weak-sauce semantics. Pretending that’s what I said was an amusing conceit though.

Oh, and I read your stupid article about Los Angeles suburbanites, same as the other article it references about Los Angeles suburbanites. Really enlightened, salt-of-the-earth stuff. Reminded me why I left Southern California on multiple levels.

You need some genuine help.

Take your meds and some reading comprehension refresher courses
This, I’ve gotta hear. Do you even have anything to say or any idea how far down an off-topic and de-railed thread you’ve chosen to step in?
If you’re so certain you’re up to the task, then by all means, correct me, pickled-sensei. I like a good chuckle as much as anyone.
Yeah whatever junior. You couldn’t even get the person you’re commenting to right.
