When I see all these "phone ban" experiments, I always wonder, is the phone that's the issue, or is it the apps/websites tailored for engagement (a.k.a addiction)? Maybe instead of banning kids from using phones, they sh

It's a really nice implementation. I wish it manages to stay alive, but I believe the owners of Tetris are quite litigious around both the game itself and the trademark. I usually play on tetris.com

I think they are both great choices and it's a matter of personal preference. Do you distrust the new for-profit company that owns Gitea? Do you believe that all software should be libre? Choose Forgejo. Do you believe having a for-pro

This is great. And not just for kids. I think I'll copy the idea for my music and film collection. Picking up something and tapping somewhere feels like a nicer experience than navigating menus. I wish my e-reader had an NFC reader to

Or you store them away because once you've ripped them, you no longer need access to the physical item. So there's no point on having them using up the valuable space of the living room.

I had the same reaction. There are many reasons why I also believe OP's solution is better than the usual having a kid use the remote to navigate Disney+. Having a curated selection instead of a near infinite catalog full of noise is o

They still provide value, as they reduce the amount of parties you have to blindly trust and the amount of ToS and privacy policies you have to accept.

I slightly disagree with your distinction. Privacy is about minimising the amount of data collected that's visible to anyone but you. Your data stays with you and/or only you can see your data, therefore, private. Anonymity isn&#x

I agree with many of OP's points, but I don't think OP is addressing the suggestion of using Codeberg, which I believe is a reasonable alternative to GitHub. It provides a GitHub-like experience, so it solves the OP's problem
