I agree, the average situation is certainly rife with more nuance. For example, my young ones play Minecraft, despite that being implicated as a vector used by pedophiles to find and groom victims. However, I long ago did like you have suggested and limited the online options and communications my kids can interact with, as well as using that as an opportunity to speak with them about why those protections where in place.

My issue with Roblox is that as a company, they routinely downplay the role their platform plays in such crimes, and have actively prevented such activity from being stopped while taking no steps to filter or moderate such things from their end. Yes, parents need to do more then just hand a child a screen so they stop needing attention, but a platform that exploits predator usage is exploiting children.

Now some parents may not be knowledgeable about this, and I can understand that “you don’t know what you don’t know”. However, a parent who chooses to sour a family holiday because the whim of their spawn was not bowed to is not, generally speaking, a good parent. The combination of this with the usage of a pedophile-supporting platform aimed at children while clearly not setting healthy boundaries with the child, are the reason I would say this person is a bad parent. It’s not one factor, its the culmination of multiple that result in this reasoning.

So your sister actively consents to her son being on a platform riddled with pedophiles and expects you to be complicit as well.

You where nice, I would have told her she was a terrible parent, why, and then ask her to leave. I’ve become no-contact with toxic family over issues before, and I’ll do it again.

Power brick, USB-C cable, external battery, earbud headphones.

Sometimes I also add a folding bluetooth keyboard, mini bluetooth mouse, and USB drives, but that’s only when I’m gonna use the Deck as a computer for 3D modeling or typing tasks.

I have nothing against the original, I used it for a few months and it works great. I switched to a different case when I got a different charger and other cords to use with the external battery I added to the ‘entourage’ for the Deck. The original case didn’t have the room for all that, and things like earbuds didn’t like to stay in the elastic hollow of the original. Wasn’t a big deal, but it was a noticeable change after switching cases.

Buy a nice case for transporting it. I like my JSAUX case, it has alot more storage space then the stock case.

Gooooood Morning Night City!

I have Finch set to auto-update, so I’m not sure if it gives you separate notifications for that.

Finch is pretty close. Free as well. It’s intended to help with self care and mental wellness, could be a good fit for you.

It essentially is a replacement for a mouse, I set FreeCAD to use Blender input settings since I’m used to those. It’s one without a screen, just a USB that I use with a kickstand hub on my Deck. I picked it because it was cheaper then a screen style drawing tablet and it would help most with Blender for modeling organic sculpture. It was a simple plug-and-play, although the software to enable some extra features was available for Linux and was a snap to add. I experimented using it with FreeCAD and it’s pretty similar to using a mouse, so I don’t need both inputs taking up table space.

I use it for 3D modeling using a BT keyboard and a drawing tablet. Works great with Blender and FreeCAD both.

Any kind of surge pricing by for profit companies providing basic needs should be illegal full stop

Fixed that for you

Mobile players do it on the go. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Read Era is technically free, but I paid for premium years ago and have never regretted it. I can open any kind of uncorrupted book file, from the Amazon reader format to PDF to epub, and everything else I’ve ever come across. It has a great search function, and the ability to file a book into a custom ‘Collection’. You can edit the details of a book, like adding Author or pusblisher info, add your own personal notes to a page or highlighted quote, see an aggregate of all your highlights in a particular file, and adjust the font, background color, and contrast to your hearts content.

I make my whole family use it now, cause I love it so much and Premium works on Family share.

You know I still don’t understand the issue people have with this. Every bathroom I’ve been in either has stalls to use with urinals on the side and dividers between those for some privacy, or is only designed for one person at a time anyway. I can’t imagine having any issue with anyone of any gender in those types of bathroom, unless they where being clear creeps and trying to press an eye to a gap in a divide or something. Which isn’t solved by limiting the genders who can enter, it’s solved by building better dividers and not leaving gaps.

This isn’t Rome my dude, we’re not all sitting in one room and having a face to face while we clart.

Watching me while I’m browsing the net?

“B is for Buy-n-Large, your very best friend.”

Well OP did say wrong answers only.

Get a few suitcases at Goodwill or something, stick a floppy and some ‘redacted’ papers in a red envelope, leave them in random places around town and observe what happens. Make sure to wear a trench coat and sunglasses when you ‘forget’ them at each drop point.

I haven’t found a bluetooth set that works well with the deck yet. Everything seems to have a second of lag in the headphones when on bluetooth, that I never experience with wired. I’ve used both an old pair of Samsung earbuds that cane with an android phone over 5 years ago, which worked fine, and my personal go-to pair of Turtle Beach earbuds, with detachable boom mic. I leave the mic in my case unless I’m using it, and everything works well with that setup.

I don’t live in a place without PSN, however I uninstalled because of the malware style anticheat files that a small update tried to sneak into my system. Fuck off Arrowhead and Sony both, no thanks, I don’t need to jnstall that kind of stuff to enjoy games with my friends on PC.
