Mind you, I wish we were that level of strict when it came to our data privacy laws.

I dunno, why don’t you ask, eg: Russia?
Because by law in certain countries, homosexuality is persona non grata, and a filter needs to be there to legally operate in such countries.
Until they make the wrong call and it bites them on the ass.
Yeah but they’re called talent for a reason. The senior talent are generally better than the juniors at what they do.
This company wasn’t exactly targeted. It could have happened to literally anyone.
Yep! Such container breakouts exist even today in Citrix !
Shit like this was what got me into cybersecurity
I learned to program when I was 10 on a Commodore 64. And we would wear an onion on our belt which was the style at the time… Sorry, where was I?
Totally get that, but we live in a much more dangerous and predatory computer landscape these days. It would be foolish not to take some precautions.
Standard Ubuntu should have you covered.
One word of warning though, don’t be too egregious with the parental controls. If your kids are motivated enough, they will find a way around it.
Education really is your best weapon here. Tell them about the dangers of the modern web and computing.

Imagine your computer is a big block of flats and your applications are all people who live in the building.
Mail sent to the building address alone isn’t going to reach the intended recipient, because the postman doesn’t know what flat to post it to. So they need additional information such as ‘Flat 2C’
That’s the basic concept of ports. It’s basically additional addressing information to allow your computer to direct internet traffic to the correct applications.
When an application is actively listening on a port, it means that they are keeping an eye out for messages addressed to them, as designated by the port number. While an application is sending or receiving messages using a given port number, that port number is considered ‘open’.
Now, all sorts of applications do all sorts of things. Some are for the public to use and there are some that are useful within trusted circles, but can be abused by malicious people if anyone in the world can send messages to it. Thus, we have a firewall, which acts as a gatekeeper. A firewall can ‘block’ a port, denying access to a given group of people, or ‘unblock’ it, allowing access.
VPNs are a totally different thing. They are literally middlemen for your internet traffic. Instead of directly posting a message to somewhere and receiving a direct reply back, imagine you flew out to Italy to use a post box there and receive replies from there.
What they mean is if you are a affiliated with a national government. You might also be a target if you are very very rich.
If you’re an average Joe, they probably won’t burn it on you.
I mean personally I think it’s closer to those point and click adventure games, just shrunk down to be appropriate for a handheld of the day
Android’s Do Not Disturb feature is also like this. You only get notifications from calls, alarms and apps you specifically allow.
“oh damn, you guys didn’t know? I feel bad for you but it’s probably too late for you now. Guess you’ll find out soon enough.”
Then: complete radio silence.
Then give them a URL link to a good instance.
Do you really expect Threads to provide a fair, uncompromised experience of the Fediverse when it’s actively against their interests to do so?
Right now, sure. Will that always be the case?
It ain’t about people they don’t like, it’s about a powerful corporation known to be abusive, psychologically manipulative and unafraid to break laws so long as it benefits them.
You wouldn’t want such an entity under your roof either
They wouldn’t explain shit. This is an authoritarian government we’re talking about; they have near total control of what information gets to their populace.
More likely they’d just accuse Google of supporting terrorism, and make a show of raiding their offices and jailing their local executives.
This is China we’re talking about. Chinese equivalents to nearly every big tech service are more than present and accounted for, even often preferred by the local populace. Hong Kong is a little different, but the CCP still exerts near total control there.
