Thanks for your work man. Bento is great.

I mostly use it to unlock PDFs that really shouldn’t be locked in the first place. I’ve been meaning to try out some of the other features but hadn’t gotten around to it yet.

Keep it up!

I think it’s @cartumante I just can’t find the original

Yeah way ahead of you man. Already have. Been through this many many many time. Just over it.

You know what’s wild? Dumb phones have no way to block that crappy old browser. Also being able to see where they are is useful. And dude smart/dumb phones are expensive.

Yeah man, we’ve had many long talks about it. Doesn’t seem to get through. He says he understands, but then this shit happens. It’s just an ongoing thing

Nah. Look, see, I put blocks on a lot of shit. Screentime to limit how much time he gets, no safari access or other browser, contact limits, etc. won’t go into the whole background of why, but look.

First it was Spotify. Kid was dead tired mid day and come to find out when I check Screentime it’s cause he was up till like 3 or 4 am on Spotify and finally figured out it’s not cause he was falling asleep to it, no he found out there’s videos on it and watching them all hours. This was a while back.

The. recently I find he’s constantly asking for access to this fucking TCG app, and he’s obsessed with Pokémon and all about selling cards and shit. Turns out that because the apps just a shitty wrapper he’s using it to get on Reddit and DM’ing rando’s and shit because he is the kind of kid to text a number he found on the floor, no joke.

Then removing that he figures he can just use fucking maps to open a safari sub window and have free web access.

Fuck sakes like kinda impressed at the finding holes, but also he’s a god damn drug addict after anything he can get his hands on. Hence the reason I’m ready to hand him two tin cans with string.

Good lord. That is insane. Glad you’re still around!

Dude you have no clue how fucking hard it is to keep kids away from this shit.

“Well just parent better”

Man you can try but kids just love making bad decisions and finding ways around blocks and filters left and right. Like I’m over letting my kid have anything more technical than two tin cups with some string.

What the fuck is Omarchy Linux?

Going by context I’m gonna ask, did someone vibe code an operating system?

I guess it depends on the apartments? I’ve got a friend who grows lots of veggies on their small patio

You can have a garden on a small patio. Get wire shelves and put planters on them. Kinda like this:

They sell a “greenhouse” at Home Depot that’s basically a wire shelf with plastic thrown over it.

Or you can get a planter like this that sits on the patio or one that hangs on your fence

Well, the thing is like say you see someone share something outrageous that makes you ask “wait is this real? Did they really say that?” Being able to check veracity is important in the age of disinformation.

Also since I post a lot of comics I typically try to share the source. Now most artists have moved to other platforms, but their backlog might still be on that shithole. I don’t want to provide a link to that place, so being able to link to a proxy is preferred

Well, that also means you can’t verify if a post was actually made or not there. I stay the fuck away from twitter except through nitter if I’m checking a “source”. So now that’s gone I guess

Do you have a garden?

Pretty much just a Pokémon

Probably falls under 3, but more clothes.

Of course there was always that Robbin Hood movie, but also like did anyone else feel really sad for the red squirrel in Sword and the Stone? Like dude coulda just lived his happy little life out as a squirrel.

Man I retain knowledge better if I write it down. Post-its, notebooks and whiteboards. If it isn’t in front of me, I forget it.

When Trump says that it’s because he’s referring to a black man with a foreign name. How do you not get that?

Corporations are not people. Corporations don’t have color. Corporations don’t have religion.

You are equating irrelevancies.

I missed where race or religion were being highlighted in this meme. Can you point to the black or Muslim company in this picture please?

You realize my last comment was on how MAGA sounds dog whistles over anyone with a foreign sounding name yeah? No shit. We’re on the same page regarding that bit.

This meme isn’t doing the same thing because this has nothing to do with Islam, foreign companies, or anything of the sort.

This joke is over giving these companies an undesirable acronym related to a guy who bombed the WTC. These companies lack a race or religion to tie to the moniker.

Do you think jokes about Trump hiding in a food cart depicted like Sadam in a cave are racist as well in this regard?
