you could use a VPN though. protonvpn has measures to work around network restrictions, or set up a wireguard at home, and if they would block it, tell them you need it for work. your own notes related to the trade and your task planning tool stored on your homeserver, or something like that.
firefox or a fork of it, but I would be surprised if teams could read wifi info even in chrome. this is about when you install it as a desktop app, so that it can collect more data and consume more memory than it would otherwise.
Windows has Limited User account, Family Safety in the control panel, and a advanced Firewall. 3rd party Net Nanny was\is a net filtering\alerting software that had visiting-server-side support in case the kid knew how to onion route or obfuscate a url or ip.
limited, as in, not an administrator? that does not help much with limiting a kids computer use.
family safety only works for the microsoft edge browser, which is not at all private. and it seems it requires a microsoft account, and accepting its shitty terms of service and privacy policy.
netnanny seems to require a microsoft account too.
Androids can install firewall software like PersonalDNSFilter, AdGuardDNS, or RethinkDNS (the premium version creates for you a custom dns server -- no software needed.
and they can't be just disabled by the user of the device, right?
these and pihole.. are useful but not for this. even if they can't disable the system VPN app, the kid just enables secure DNS in either firefox or chrome, and bam! its worked around.
what would you consider a better vendor? samsung, xiaomi, oneplus? those all have been plenting more and more malware into their phones from the factory, sometimes making it seem like a feature, and recently they started to bar owners from replacing the OS on it by taking away the option to unlock the bootloader
this is not a checkbox, but a date field. and the hard part is, KDE needs to implement it, other desktops need to implement it too, and somehow it has to be fit into the existing linux user database that does not have a dedicated place for information like this.
it also means using older operating systems became illegal, including windows 7, xp, etc. including, if you just happen to have an old unused computer with an OS that does not yet support this thing.
It's not really easily bypassed though, if only the administrator can set the date of birth for an account. if the parent does not use the admin account for daily usage (and they shouldn't for other reasons), then the majority of the children won't be able to change it
not imprison them, but maybe taking away or limiting child support. but that will 100% not work with the rich.
forcing the parents to install parental control software.. that would be like, here are these approved options, and you like it or not you must use them despite their privacy policies.instead commercial operating systems (windows, googlified android) could be required to have parental controls built in, and free software systems could apply for funding to implement it, or some other kind of collaboration.
are the media files redownloaded from other servers when someone tries to load them? I guess all local media is lost forever, but maybe not remote ones
I don't know, I would not recommend kubernetes to most people not already familiar with it, but especially to beginners. It's too many moving parts, and fir most selfhosted setups, its capabilities are not needed I think.
how long did it take to write this all down?
