Imagine if that kind of money were spent making people's lives better, instead of deliberately making people's lives worse at no benefit to anyone.
"Government efficiency" my ass.
This one hits a little too close to home...
Also, the word you're looking for might be "abusive" rather than "strict".
This has been posted half a dozen times in the last two months alone. Please. We get it.
This is effectively the plot of Trading Places (1983) starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd.
Another common one is "y'all" but I'm not American enough to pull that off.
Someone at work said we should use "folks"... But I'm not a Loony Tunes ending screen.
I think it's if you want to have user management. There's some sort of admin console you have to pay for, but I don't use it.
To be honest I had kind of forgotten it was a thing. If you're using this for a business then you might want to link it to your OIDC (Microsoft account etc.) and therefore pay for those extra features.
However if you use it to connect to your own devices or those of your friends like you would with TeamViewer (via device IDs and per-device passwords) as I do, you won't have to pay for it.
Give it a go and see how you get on!
Been using them for years.
It's ~~completely~~ free, open source and has:
EDIT: I forgot, but it's also much better at compressing video effectively than realVNC, which is what I used to use. Performance and latency remains fairly good even at low bitrate.
For a little while, I even used to play point and click games remotely with my brother over it. Probably too much latency for an action game though.
If your kid has half a brain he'll do what we did as kids when porn sites were blocked on the home WiFi: He'll just get a VPN.
And when VPN websites were blocked on the home WiFi, we'd just download their apps on mobile data.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
Better to educate your kids on their natural urges and letting them use the more moderated sites than have them go down the more dodgy rabbitholes. No kink shaming but some of the things people do are nasty.
I think they are bundling this into their regular app, so they'd have to put every guardian read on the list😅
Ok, so it's an encrypted, open source whistle-blowing feature in their app / system.
The article is light on technical details but if it makes whistleblowing easier and safer than for example emailing their editors that's probably a good thing.
I got the inspiration for this when I was going through all my old images when migrating to Immich.
Left-to-right: A coffee container, A Coke bottle with the label taken off, A pasta sauce jar, a coke can with the top removed with a can opener.
This post reads as 'You have been deemed guilty of aiding the undesirables. You will be punished."
I got tired of Google shoving AI down my throat in yet another place in my phone.
I'm surprised it even gave me the choice to "report and block".
I'm pretty sure I've been using the Simple Gallery app they mention for years.
It looks like it is still open source. However I do see on the Play Store page that their contact details are in Israel.
The Pro version, the one I use, claims to collect no data at all. Not sure how much I trust that.
Maybe it's time to look for a new gallery app...
EDIT:
The open source code has not been updated since 2023, and neither has the Pro app. However the non-pro app has been updated in 2024.
Therefore, it might be safe to use the open source code version on GitHub, but I wouldn't touch the free one on the play store.
I wouldn't use the Pro version on the play store as you would be funding these companies and they could push an update in the future.
EDIT 2:
As mentioned here, a popular fork of many of these now abandoned Simple apps is the Fossify project. If you liked the app I'd recommend looking at that if you want to keep getting security updates at the very least.
