I gave a fake age years ago, only by a year to get around some bullshit. Had to correct that when I verified :-(

He is a good kid. He doesn't give a shit about crap like social media. I just wanted to install an open source email client for our self hosted family email and I had to get it via f-droid because its apparently for 18+ on google play. Like he is old enough to download and compile it from source. What is this bullshit? It let him have Signal though that was a while back. The younger kids are all on family link - but 17?
