I would like all that screens to be powered by Free and Open-Source Software. But of course those 2yo folks are using dissocial social networks which frees some parent's time for the sake of doing same.
- pc86 2y agoWhat is this mental pull some of us have to see something completely unrelated to one's pet issue (FOSS, or religion, or politics, or exercise, or nutrition, or whatever) and feel the need to jam it in?

- pc86 2y agoPutting Linux on a phone doesn't change that. Calling things "snoop-phones" and "dissocial social networks" doesn't change that, it just makes serious people roll their eyes.
- eimrine 2y agoI never told that putting Linux but keep running proprietary scripts is significantly better. Naming things in proper manner helps me to make long statements short. It is like shaming bad practices.
- piva00 2y agoIt's soapboxing, twist some other topic into some core issue for us, stand on the soapbox and talk about it. I think everyone does it from time to time on different levels, for sure I'm guilty of it.
- Jensson 2y agoWhat does open source have to do with child screen use? Do you think one year old babies would benefit from screens if it had open source software?
- eimrine 2y agoThey are designed to be addictive. Children will benefit from not exposing them to existing recommendation systems and not to get used to the proprietary interfaces.
