Seems like this topic got lots of attention over night, I really appreciate it!

It looks like there's really no solution for what I'm looking for, even if I'd move to windows I don't think I'd get what I want. Apparently only Apple has that but I'm not sure, never owned an apple device.

Seems like this would be a cool project to work on, cross platform cross device parental control with Linux as a first class citizen.

She's using a Samsung android phone with Family Link, it's meh but does it's job. I'm looking into limiting screen time more than content restrictions, and having the total screen time across all devices in a centralised service is very much what I'm looking for.

My daughter has ADHD and if we don't limit her screen time she can literally spend the whole day sitting and watching Minecraft videos, and then later she gets very grumpy, so yeah while I absolutely hate having to do it, it's more for her own health than content exposure (not blocking websites and app installation other than by age recommendation).

This one is going to be an unconventional one but I do love the Ubuntu font and I try to sneak it into some documents I write.

That's a pretty great extension I use on a daily basis. I just wish there would be a little more customisation on how it looks like.

I'd like to be able to have more options on how the window appears and where, like a smaller floating window appears where the mouse or the cursor is would be also a useful option. I don't need link previews and I think the item boxes are too big.

I guess it's just a survey they want you to answer, it may not be related to the context you were working on.

The incident report part is what truly scares me.

Thought fully switching a desktop environment up to your login screen and all is a little more complicated and can end up bricking your system if you don't know what your doing. For those cases, you also would need to swap the system identity. Not entirely sure what was the command right...

That's a really cool feature

I hope you're right

The fonts are nice but I absolutely hate the "copilot voice" text moving around idea, it's absolutely terrible to read.

I'm originally from Brazil but I've been living in Poland for the past decade so I had the Polish app setup with Android covid notifications. The neat thing is that it doesn't matter as they all talk together due to how the protocol works.

I got a few notifications in Poland, and I also did travel to Brazil, and got notifications there too.

The app only works if enough people are in though, so if nobody uses then it won't work. Depends on the area, people, way of thinking.

Thanks for all your comments, a lot of interesting things here.

I went with BtrFS with Timeshift. Seems to have improved in terms of performance a lot that I barely noticed any difference compared to the previous installation with Ext4, if any at all.

Unfortunately the current Ubuntu 23.10 installer doesn't properly set btrfs subvolumes correctly for @ and @home and instead instead just throws the entire OS at the root of the FS, making it incompatible with Timeshift and causing FS snapshots to live in the Linux directories, which in turn would cause future snapshots to contain snapshots, not great...

Fortunately migrating to a subvolume layout is possible although it was quite painful following this outdated and a bit not well written post https://www.reddit.com/r/btrfs/s/qWi84tGJam

After successfully installing the system and setting up btrfs layouts and Timeshift, I created the first system snapshot and I feel extremely confident about this solid system.

Thanks again for sharing your experience!

Imagine GIMP is enshitified somehow. Well that won't work because the source code is available and people will just create a fork and work with that instead.

There's many Lemmy and Mastodons servers AND clients out there, being open source is already one thing add federation on top and you see no one really is in control of Lemmy or Mastodon as a whole.

Thank you for that, I also recently posted asking for help with this matter a couple days ago. I'm back to Linux after about 5 years break and initially I thought it was only Fedora, but then I changed to openSUSE Tumbleweed and then again to Ubuntu, and all of them presented the same issue, so it really was clear it was a bigger issue than a single distro. Nonetheless turning off 2FA is a workaround only and some accounts like work account won't allow turning it off at all, so definitely this is something the GNOME team should be prioritizing to fix soon.

I like the calendar integration with GNOME's calendar for example. I'm also not sure if I'm planning on using thunderbird as a mail client, I'd like to test the options available.

I'd say what defines the latest generation really isn't about social media but AI.

It depends on your age or health I guess. I'm now 34 and I am learning some types of food will tend to make me sleepy while others will help me stay away and focused for longer (or maybe they just don't make me sleepy?)

Basically avoiding any type of heavy carbohydrates does the trick to me. Bread, spaghetti, potatoes, milk (in your coffee).

If I do get sleepy, also not sitting straight after lunch helps, I recently got a standup desk and I stand the first 30 min after lunch for work, really helps.

Also avoid any kind of sugar at all costs. Candies, dessert, ice cream, chocolate, sweetened coffee, and counterintuitively even some fruits such as bananas may give you a sugar crush.
