I really don’t want to start arguing against this sentiment, because I agree with it. But the kid in question is not my son, and however much I personally don’t agree with using a screen as much as my friends have with the kid, I also understand why it has come to this (that the kid’s parents had decided to use a screen to calm him down, which it does) and how different peoples’ life situations can be. Also it’s not like he’s completely swallowed by the bright lights and colours and noises the screen provides, at least as far as I can tell, as whenever I am or anyone else is around he likes to do other things as well (such as playing with his physical toys or engaging in other activies kids like to do, such as climbing furniture and doing somersaults and stuff) though I’m obviously not there all the time. Also he goes to daycare where the screentime is minimized I assume, and more emphasis is given to social education and stuff.

And this laptop wouldn’t even be his first, this would be basically an upgrade over the old, beaten-up laptop his dad has had laying around.

So yes, thank you (all of you, other comments as well) for your concern for this child’s wellbeing. We will continue doing what we can towards doing the best we can with the information we have at the given moment.

Yeah that’s part of the plan already, actually! Because that HDD is like real old

Weird (but not really unexpected) that Chrome uses less RAM in this case. I think I’ll consider this too, thanks!

Addendum: I should add that the distro should be Debian or Arch based basically (as these are the ones I know best, or have the most experience with), because if something doesn’t work (for some reason) I will be the one debugging it, and I kinda don’t want to learn a new distro and its quirks in order to do so. Because I’m lazy like that. So I’m gravitating towards maybe Manjaro or L/Xubuntu.

what the fuck, boris?

This is how the fascist works. It works itself into the hearts of the public by selling the idea of stability and security, how in these unsure times we should trust in them. This is, obviously, complete and utter bullshit, and will only end in totalitarianism.

that kind of careful lawyering takes time

This is advanced skullduggery!

But yeah, no one was ever going to do anything about anything. Why would they? It’s not like they actually care about you people. And it’s not like my country isn’t a trainwreck on fire sinking fast into a swamp, but at least our cops are given an education longer than that of a barber’s before being given a position of authority, with deadly force to enforce. But, given how much my country nowadays loves to ape whatsoever daddy Amerikkka has done or is doing (I’m looking at you currently-being-privatized once-public healthcare and fascists in the government!), I ain’t exactly holding out hope for the future of our police force.

That was 5 years ago. What’s with the fucking hold up; the fat, doughnut-eating, trigger-happy, right-wing gun-nut, klan-members that are the police force there didn’t wanna agree to not systematically discriminate and/or use excessive force, huh?

“I’ll change baby, I promise”

You are very welcome to use it, my friend. I think it’s very apt, but I can’t remember where I read it for the first time though.

How many meals can this buy for those wanting? Shelters for the homeless? Treatment for the sick? Oh wait, I forgot. The US is a third world country with a Gucci belt. The fascists do what the fascists do.

Demand away. None should indeed be given for these wealth-hoarding parasites. Gun down more, I say.

oh wow, a major media outlet caught lying? I would be shocked, flabbergasted even, if it weren’t business as usual for them (emphasis on business)

Well, I work as a bartender, and here in Finland it’s strictly against the law to serve alcohol to, or even allow a “visibly intoxicated person” to enter the premises (a law which almost every bar breaks at some point, intentionally or no), and I think I’ve witnessed multiple times myself how a customer’s level of intoxication reveals itself only after you have served a drink to them and they’ve payed for it. Could it be called a Schrödrinker’s cat?

Oh yes, let there be blood.
