Sure if they needed to bypass ads I can introduce them to Free tube or whatever but for all it's sins they need moderated exposure to the YouTube experience so they're equipped enough not to go totally wild when they finally have unfettered access.

I thought my youngest was all about watching hour long Minecraft playthroughs but really they are quite interested in game mechanics and speed running. They are just a lot more tolerant of watching hours of videos around a particular game.

I don't overly police their content consumption (although we do talk about limiting shorts). The main thing is at the weekend to kick them off the TV after the morning to go and do something more interactive.

When we first let the kids watch YouTube it was on the main TV with it's own account. We have consistently monitored it and actively prune recommendations while slowly introducing them to the concept of "the algorithm". From secondary school they pretty much need YouTube on their own PC's for homework reasons and it's harder to totally lock down - we use the family link controls to limit it a little but if they tried to get around them they could. The hope is we've at least prepared them a little before they have totally unfettered access to the internet.

We did try YouTube kids a little but it was such a garbage experience we just blocked the app everywhere.

The article says it only applied to apps requesting certain permissions. I agree I'm an ideal world it would be nice to get f-droid directly from the Play store but at least according to the article the ability to install it isn't being blocked here.

From the article it sounds like the limitations come for some app types downloaded directly from a browser. I think this doesn't affect alternate app stores like f-droid where you are effectively delegating approval to their process.

I have come across the other limitations mentioned with the Home Assistant companion app which I could only get matter registration to work with the version downloaded from the Play store.

Minecraft bedrock edition. There is a native project called mcpe loader but that does break occasionally because of the way it's done. The waydroid approach is pretty rock solid.

It sounds like Debian has enough of a community of users and developers who are motivated to keep accessibility alive. I'd rather build on Debian stable than try and build a franken machine. While the bookworm default version of Orca is as old as bookworm it does also have a back port of the latest version.

Trixie is in freeze now so it's a good time to test and report bugs so the final release can provide as smooth accessibility experience as the last release.

Is there anything based on open street map data? I've been updating my local trails and paths since I moved to South Wales and it's what I generally check when hiking.

I can second the alcohol free beers. The modern ones have excellent taste and hit the refreshing hoppy spot for me and are much better than juice or sodas when it comes to calories. I'm not totally dry, I drink 2-3 units a week, but I'm certainly feeling better for not having alcohol every day.

I'm forever telling my children to pay attention in car parks because they are full of moving cars.

That's certainly an assertion but even the MP who's comment they got didn't go that far. I'm not sure STW are the most neutral party to report this either.

Sure they can designate targets, it's one of its many roles which also include surveillance. If anywhere is deserving of keeping a close eye on its what's currently going on in Gaza.
