  • It would be interesting to see an FPS game with a "default cheat mode" that exposes all info about other players that it has by default. And then the devs work to minimize that... server-side occlusion, misdirection, reduced damage / bad aim when no direct line of sight, etc. Players can then learn to minimise their footprint despite the necessary leakage and how to take advantage of the info they get.

  • I'd argue that your average communist is moral and trustworthy right up until the moment they get any power, then they are just corrupt(able) politicians, ready and able to fuck over group A to benefit group B, who they happen to favor more this week (decisions must be made, after all!). No system is perfect, and definitely no individual.

    Big picture view: The scales will tip every now and then, but it's ultimately survival of the fittest system that wins, with none existing in isolation - there are always external forces at play.

    With that in mind, I'd put my money on more limited socialist-style-carve-outs like single payer healthcare in the US, more rent controls and housing subsidies, slightly better employee protections. Just enough to placate the masses, while the ruling class mostly continues as before. Even this will require a massive effort. Post-republicans, of course.

  • Great, finally they can include all the factual non-woke reporting about Donald Trump, Elon Musk and often underage hookers provided by the russian mafia and FSB, which mostly happened at Trump Tower as Trump's business empire was being rescued by russian money. Perhaps it can provide photos from the non-woke archives. It could even be turned into a series of children's stories to give them inspiration for their future careers of servitude and exploitation, which would be totally non-woke.

  • wg-quick takes a different approach, using an ip rule to send all traffic (except its own) to a different routing table with only the wireguard interface. I topped it up with iptables rules to block everything except DNS and the wireguard udp port on the main interface. I also disabled ipv6 on the main interface, to avoid any non-RFC1918 addresses appearing in the (in my case) container at all.

    edit: you can also do ip rule matching based on uid, such that you could force all non-root users to use your custom route table.

  • Congrats for waiting this long - many parents don't.

    Honestly, this will depend on your child. If they are prone to addictive or obsessive behaviour, a smart phone will only amplify the tendancy. We already know how hard it is for adults to put down their phones for any length of time, and kids typically have less will power.

    That said - digital communication is an important part of most people's lives now. If all her friends are using a particular app to communicate, they will "need" it too. Some parental controls would be good for the first phone -- which apps get installed, etc. Just be prepared to unlock most of them. ;-)

    You might want a phone "lockbox" at home to ensure they turn off. Hopefully the school is strict about phone usage and etiquette too - it can help.

  • What is the typing experience that you want, and for which language(s). It's not clear to me, sorry.

    It is possible to map keyboard input in various ways. For more complex use-cases, many programs support character substitution as you type (eg. gx could become ĝ automatically).

  • That's a minority. From what I've seen, the vast majority of Aussies are sheep, happy to be abused by their government and manipulated by corporations and propaganda (take your pick which). It's just another fractured society, with apathetic masses turning away from the real world and living in their own bubbles of discontent.
