I found out recently that every android device asks if you will be using the device, or if a child will, as soon as you log in to the device for the first time. The funny part is that it asks AFTER you sign in, effectively linking to to that device, even if you’re giving it to a 15 years old teen.

And that’s why my kids only have Linux PCs, and phones that they use that belong to me, so I can take them away in case it’s necessary (spoiler, they try to stay away from those phones as much as possible, lol).

Good for you. You do you. I’ll keep pirating all the games I can, and if they are from a respected developer (fuck you Ubisoft, EA, Blizzard, etc.) AND I like the game, then I’ll certainly buy it.

Thanks for saying it. What kind of fucking parent puts their kids on display in an event that will invite actual pedophiles to start actual concoctions that would cause permanent harm on them? Ah, but fictitious media that may actually help keep those urges in check needs to be removed.

And then there’s the bullshit thought that a service that serves as a replacement for cash transactions can decide what I buy?

I need to get off of this fucking world.

This is the way of the world, but only because people are allowing it. I will never understand “I’m too lazy to care about my privacy”, which undermines our security way more than we even know.

The worst part is that, no matter how some of us care and do something about our privacy, the ones that we interact with that don’t care still expose us to all this BS. Until the world changes it’s mindset, this will not change, and only get worse (I’m not holding my breath for people to care though).

This has me wondering how my sack of potatoes body would look 🤣
