- 000ooo000 1y agoIs your three year old in the tech circles TFA is referencing?
- lucyjojo 1y agoUnless the guys on tech circles the TFA is mentioning are all singles and plan to stay so voluntarily or not, a (good?) portion of them have, had, or will have 3 year olds! In fact I maintain one of those setups mentioned by TFA with some neighbours (lots of tech people/artists with rare media in the neighborhood for reasons), and friends and family in other countries. The whole point of most of these setups (for people with family), is to be safe, simple, efficient, and low-maintenance for the whole family to be able to enjoy media.
- johnea 1y agoWhen my son was about 5 years old, I set up a linux computer for him. I used a very basic floating window manager and created about 6 or 10 large desktop icons to run the things I had installed for him (Hyperspace Delivery Boy was a favorite 8-) One icon started a script which launched the media player in a specific directory. I highly recommend giving (very young) kids exposure to a wide variety of desktop user interfaces. Failure to do this has led to an entire generation (2 or 3?) of windoze based computer illiteracy. Computers really aren't all about right-clicking that thing that looks like a pineapple, then selecting Settings, etc...
