I wish this were feasible; I think, "By restricting it to 100 kbps or so, my child will consume more text, as I did when I was young." Reality: modern websites loving blow. Your kid is gonna spend 2 minutes staring at a blank screen because the text won't render until the webfonts have downloaded and all the javascript is finished loading. Then the server will time out and give up because who, WHO in this modern world has a < 1 Mbps internet connection? And they'll be left staring at a blank page.

My personal website uses no javascript and just some minimal CSS while still looking good and re-flowing text properly on pretty much any device, but that's a single drop of clean water in a giant pool of sewage.

kids don't surf the web in tyool 2018. they stream; twitch, youtube, mixer, etc. it doesn't take much disruption in QoS to effectively kill a stream.

The kid subnet should have that poo poo blackholed, gently caress 'em.

I removed the SA app from my phone a couple weeks ago and my life is a hell of a lot better. Now I only shitpost from my desktop, and I've been reading again. Also spent a lot more time working on the Volvo getting it ready to sell.

Because my wireless setup is pretty loving flexible I've thought about putting up trolling / honeypot open networks, but then I wondered: if I make an open network that redirects all traffic to goatse, and a kid connects to that network, am I going to go to jail? Of course, as you point out, no kid will ever actually see goatse because they'll open Youtube, Snapchat, Whatsapp, etc. and none of them will work, they'll shrug and disconnect from the network.

On the one hand, I'm actually kind of glad that I grew up before the internet was really A Thing, so this stuff was never a factor, and more time spent doing real-world things and actual, ink-on-paper reading was probably "better for me" in a sense. Some of my parents' opinions on what elements of pop culture were a bad influence were flat-out wrong, but broadly, ehhh.

On the other, it's going to be some serious schadenfreude watching people who are my contemporaries in age terms get their asses kicked by primary school kids in a war of attrition over IT admin. :allears:

despite the challenges its a much better situation now. it's a magical thing watching my kid get on skype with his buddies and crack out a school project. im still not a fan of the amount of homework kids are still getting these days but at least the school digitized everything and all he has to do is log in to the school portal when he gets home and do his worksheets etc. No backpack, books or that other garbage that destroy children's spines.

Document, with witnesses, call lawyer. Be polite and nice; wave. But she's trying to get dirt or elicit a reaction to use against you..

Also at my graduation ceremony there were a few dozen people who did the Wakanda salute from Black Panther after walking, all black. Pretty cool imo.

There were also some people who dabbed, and Every Single One of them was white as the winter snow.
