yeah you can do that if you are a regular poster on slashdot. But for the majority of barely computer literate parents out there good luck with that. My 5 year old god daughter is already far better on a phone getting what she wants out of it then her mother who checks on her all the time but would have no idea what was actually happening. I try to educate them both but its a losing battle with mom.

And even if you have all of that working I guarantee some older kid will let the little ones use their account how do you tie the account to the person using it and verify that on demand, dna test? This is about as close to an unsolvable problem as exists with our current tech, maybe when we have chips in our head from birth

you just proved his point. You do realize that sugar is just as addictive as cocaine right, we wouldn't need ozempic if the greedy capitalists weren't making all those addictive snacks. Not everyone has the will power to beat an addiction especially when its normalized and seen as the "American Way"

Exactly, I've been switching my computer illiterate friends and family to linux for a few years now after various windows updates made it so I could not support them remotely, (user could not get past MS forcing MS accounts after rebooting for an update) and frankly it pisses me off how fucking stupid that is. I personally have one laptop with windows 11 left and updates keep pissing me off so much that I'm ready to switch to Kubuntu or Bazzite on it I don't play new crappy FPS games so it won't hurt me, the Steam deck proved it to me. As for driver issues I have a bunch of frankensteins built out of random hardware I recovered for people and never run into any it just works.

Civil war is the most likely outcome, sadly I live within 100km of the border and I worry a lot about the spill over. I know I personally won't be heading South anytime soon and I'm a white guy. Mexico is safer than the US at least I can avoid the criminals there, pretty hard to avoid the so criminals in the US since they wear government uniforms.
