    They’re probably the majority, for whom moving to Linux solves nothing. It goes too for handwriting.

      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.

        Somehow, I doubt the Venn diagram…

        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”.

          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.

            I’ve probably changed

            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.

            You need some genuine help.
