How about monitoring your kids internet use instead of delegating the task to some shit software?

>>56543063
Oh shit I didn't even think of that

>>56543068
shit man, K9 was gold and did the job. I actually liked the interface where you can block individual websites, keywords as well as categories

I would be worried about the battery life desu. The phone already had a reputation for poor battery life when it was new, and by now any used one would probably have been through countless charges.

I bought one last November. I'm not a heavy phone use guy, but I like it. The battery lasts days when I don't use it to much. Can typically get away with one charge a week, though if I use it pretty heavily I can drain the battery in several hours.

Stickerbombing is for children.

stickerbombing is not for everyone. It can be done well, it can also be done impressively badly

I think some stickerbomb laptops have a certain horseshoe effect appeal, where they go so far in being disgustingly over the top they actually generate some spark of ironic interest in me, pic related

>Jobs would not have it

Hilarious. Thanks for that op.

Why would a legitimate poor college student buy an apple laptop when he could have bought a used thinkpad that satisfied all his needs for a mere $100?

>>56543386
because it doesn't signal the college student lifestyle hard enough

does /g/ not like using the terminal?

>>56542903
I won't lie, those are some sexy aliases.

>>56543871
T-thanks

we have lots of threads. i think your complaint is just that you don't have a thread of your own about it.

here's your thread! we're paying attention to you. finally, people acknowledging you in some way. congrats!

>>56542822
Took a lot of courage for OP to post this thread, you know.

>>56542814
because you're a retard that doesn't know how to use the catalogue

It doesn't have a marketing machine or interest in having one.
It's always had a very "We're doing this for ourselves, but you're welcome to come along" ethos.
Whereas Canonical, RedHat, Novell, et al are trying to make a buck and therefore have a financial incentive to make it easy and advertise how easy it is.
Mint is kind of the exception, being a blend of the two, but seemingly without a financial incentive.

As someone who is fucking around with a raspberry pi after doing pretty much nothing but Windows, if debian is indicative of how Linux normally is year of the Linux desktop is most assuredly never

Shit's annoying as hell

that's not accurate

see annoying "search enhancement" addon built into the Firefox install

even after being disabled it will re-enable itself after update

Doh

Doh

What browser are you using?

what?

You should totally get Tim Cook on the phone. That's a rad idea for an epically awesome killer app bro.

>>56542710
I think op means something along the lines of the "fast charging in the microwave" or "waterproof" features we've made viral in the past.

Already done.

This only started happening when I chose a font in OpenBox. Reverting back to the old font doesn't fix it either.

>>56542763
if you share that file ill give you the solution

Well for one it's obvious that you just downloaded it from somewhere, otherwise you wouldn't even consider it

>>56542659
If you're not actually running services? None.

What was the interface like? From what I hear it's pretty simplistic.

If you don't understand computers, neither will your audience.
Just make it up as you go along.
TV and movie hacker scenes literally write themselves.

If you want to go through the normal coming-of-age-into-hero's-journey kind of story you could start him off just dealing with life, "training" for his future by contributing to open source projects, eventually getting exposed to cryptography by a shady mentor, and then creating an algorithm capable of brute forcing blockchain currency and distributed ledgers into giving him lots of money. Then he gets caught and goes to prison. No access to technology, but he's able to use his understanding of dynamical systems to plan and make an escape.

I do understand computers to quite a decent extent, and that's exactly why I don't want my protagonist to be that retarded hollywood meme hacker which "hacks" the world by randomly typing shit on his keyboard with a bunch of terminals open on his monitor with scrolling matrices of ones and zeroes.
I want it to be realistic, and I do have a bunch of ideas, but there's always people who know can come up with more interesting stuff that I can add in between.
The book is to be targeted at a specific audience.

Enlightenment always looked good.

That looks just like Linux looked 15 fucking years ago.

So no, Linux can't look good, it's a simple fact of life that you'll come to appreciate someday if you're lucky.

Hello there 1998.
