While I disagree with the teenagers’ ability to find my banking passwords regardless of where I hide them, for example because I can make a copy of them that has been altered with a password I can calculate in my head and that takes the location of the password on the table into account in the calculation, the rest is true.

I remember having seen things I really wouldn’t want to see even as adult when I was browsing Internet for stuff that wasn’t supposed to be available. Shady websites can be shady in so many ways! It is true that making an age verification system for a basic porn site will probably direct the youth to other sites with content you wouldn’t see on PornTube. I hope my children won’t ever watch porn, but if they ever do, I hope it’s from a source that doesn’t allow the worst things to be shown. For example PornHub does remove the worst stuff and is quite commonly used. If that one cannot be accessed, then probably something else will. And it’s likely to be worse. Though, PornHub has a lot of really bad abusive things as well. Checked it out now and one of the first videos it showed was something that looked like the woman is really unhappy, even distressed, about the situation she’s being filmed in :(

Beautifully said. I wish people on Internet could behave like you in this comment. Have a virtual hug, you are awesome! :)

You can’t build a completely teenager-proof system. But you can build a system that is almost completely teenage-proof. And that’s definitely good enough!

All such systems exist only to support parents in their parenting. It gets easier keeping your children safe and developing well if the amount of ways the teenagers can be idiots is narrowed down.

Despite what who think? I don’t think there are people who think people in USA are not human beings. (Or if they are, they are less than one percent of the world population… Of course within 8 billion people you will find a proponent for any opinion…)

But yeah, since you care about humanity’s liberty as a whole, you could maybe kindly stop undermining that goal by assuming that what is done by under 5% of the population on this planet is the standard that the remaining 95 % are following.

I wasn’t being eurocentric. I was being Asia-Africa-Australia-South America-Europe-Canada-Mexico-Central America-Caribbea centric. The only country where most of the right want to reduce gun safety is USA. We are talking in an international forum, so here international concepts count, not nation-specific. Typically in the world right-wingers are for safety and typically in the world the politics of the Democrat party count as right-wing.

When in a conversation not specific to USA it is not okay to speak as if everything was about USA. It is not okay to speak as if there was a left-wing party in US Congress or Senate and it is not okay to claim that the right wants more dangerous gun policies.

And here we’re talking about something that takes place most prominently in UK and secondly in a bunch of other countries, but absolutely not in USA. USA has nothing to do with this, so don’t be as insolent as you were.

(Also, for example Australia is not in Europe. Learn some geography.)

Doesn’t change political narrative being pushed by both major political parties in the US, where in the left supposedly wants guns banned, and the right wants everyone armed.

How is US relevant in this discussion?

Online banking passwords? “Find”? How the hell? Have you lived in a barrel?

There is a 8-number code that I’ve got in my head, then there is a 4-number password that I’ve also got in my head. And then a paper with single-use passwords which work so that when I have given the two correct passwords, it tells me which code to use. And no way am I giving full access to my bank account for my children!

Some banks also have a system where you log in with your fingerprint and then a four-number code using an app on your phone.

I think the money on the parents’ accounts is a much better motivation for the children than an ability to watch porn. And yet, I have not heard of anybody’s children actually having found out their parent’s bank passwords.

And also: Maybe there really is a child that installs a keylogger on their parents’ computer and steals the password paper from the parents’ wallet and also happens to really want to go out of their way to watch porn… Well, then there is. Such a child is already in so many ways in trouble that I don’t think seeing porn will traumatize them at all. Such children are few and it makes no sense trying to build a 100-percent foolproof system. In any case, using online banking passwords is a lot more reliable way than the weird hocus-pocus being done now.

In Finland you could handle this by having people authenticate using their online bank passwords. A LOT of government stuff already works that way, so it would require almost no extra coding at least over here. I wonder why it cannot be done the same way in England?

The right is typically for gun control. Only one country comes to my mind where they aren’t. Which one were you thinking about? Or is it more common than I thought?

(Or did you just happen to forget that 95 % of Earth’s population exists?)

EDIT: Oh, and also: It is important to keep in mind that it’s the same within the left. There are also left-wingers who prefer authoritarianism and ones who despise it. I do agree with your sentiment: The left-right division does not work very well in our current world. Need to take best parts of everything, but most importantly, make sure we don’t end up under totalitarian rule!

Almost nothing is ever really done on any filesystem when you press “delete”. The only thing is that those physical parts of the disk with the “deleted” file are marked as “not in use”. The data is there still unchanged, until you save something else and that spot on the disk is the first free spot available for saving that new file.

So, if you accidentally delete files, make sure that nothing gets saved on that disk anymore, not even by the OS. So, either unmount the disk, or cut the power to your computer, or whatever. Then learn how to mount hard drives as read-only and how to mark the “not in use” spots on your disk as “this spot contains this file”.

This is why proper deletion of files always includes filling the disk with random data. As long as nothing has been written on top of where the file was (and in reality: still is), it’s still there. Only access to it has been removed, but that access can be regained. Been there, done that.

It would make sense that developers would support their game as played through Proton, which is not really that different from just making a proper linux-native game. It should work just as fast both ways.

That is of course true, but…

Americans habe a right to have their own things as well. Not everything they do needs to be global. If someone from there wants to ask other Americans or just other US residents a question and they prefix it with “Americans of Lemmy” or “US residents in Lemmy”, I think that’s fine.

And similarly, if an European person has a thought they know os connected to them living in Europe, it makes sense that they direct their questions to Europeans.

What I hate is when people talk like “what do you think about”, but actually means for the question to be a answered by US residents only, or talk on an international forum as if there was a leftist party in US congress or senate. If you want to ask a US-centric or Japan-centric or Eurocentric question, then by all means, go for it, in my opinion – as long as the question is clearly marked as such.

And this one is.

There are. There are also Africa, Asia, Australia and Antarctic.
