For example, tablets have apps and computers have apps (sometimes called programs). When you open an app it usually takes up the whole screen, but on computers you can window them to see more at the same time, and move them around as you need to. Doing things like that could help make a computer seem less foreign, and then you can highlight the differences to show how a computer can do more than what a table or phone can do. I figure the last part is outside of the scope of your course, but something to think about.

• Techlore Forum is a forum for the Techlore YouTube channel, focusing on digital privacy and security. He's fostered a great community that's been around since like 2022!
• Privacy Guides Community is the forum for the Privacy Guides website. They're also focused on privacy and security, but the forum also collaborates on decisions to the website as well. They work together to develop the Privacy Guides as a resource.
• Ars Technica's forum is one I'm new to, but it's based because this place is ancient. Like, if you're interested old school forums, this place is literally old school. They have users who have been around for over 20 years! If you know Ars Technica you know this is a tech news website, so the forum is tech focused but not privacy focused.

I currently have multiple hot corners as well as per-monitor hot corner settings working on a feature branch. I also have an experimental branch where I'm working on adding customizable shell commands to hot corners so you can make them do whatever you want. Here's my PR though if anyone is curious! https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/pull/2108

While I haven't used the Hot Corner in the slights except when accidentally hitting it, this looks awesome. I would love to be able to set a custom command to my Hot corner.

I worked in a school district for a majority of my career in IT, and if I learned anything, it's that kids will always find a way around these systems. Always. Even in the cases of these recent events with apps asking for scans of faces, kids found a way around it one day one using video games. We really need to keep that in mind when approaching this, as maybe talking to kids will help a lot. If you put a big sticker on the cookie jar saying "no kids allowed" and put it on the top shelf, that's an invite for them to find a chair. We can certainly try to play the cat and mouse game, but I can see how it would hit the same privacy concerns of point 1 rather quickly. I don't have a clear solution here, I mean I don't have kids. I just know that making a tool to prevent them from accessing things they're not supposed to is not going to stop them. I don't care how advanced and secure we think it is. They're very good at getting around that.

1. Will this be an open protocol? Today, you can set up any authenticator to keep your codes. You don't have to use Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. In the case of Microsoft I know for a fact that you can use a third party authenticator even for a Microsoft account.
2. Will we have access to open source apps that do this? Any app that comes out will be audited, but making sure we have an open source option makes it so that we can fully understand what data is or is not being stored in the app, and whay information is actually sent to a website that is asking for age verification.

Crazyroostereye wrote: Mon Aug 11, 2025 7:32 am Oh I remember Doing that, as a kid I used to only have a CD/Kaset Radio on my Bed side table, so the only way I listend to stuff was via CD or Kasets. So the thing I used to do was download my Music from the Internet and then Burn it on a Disc. creating my Mixtapes.

1. ff00ff - no droids on the beach (I actually pre-ordered it the day before it released in July because I really liked their other tracks)
2. ari melody - free2play (I had listened to it on YouTube Music when it released last year and I saw her posting about it on the fediverse or bluesky. Very happy to have finally gotten the full thing to download myself!)
3. disphing - href (there's a cool site with different pages matching each track! pretty nifty)
4. vimae - watercolor (also saw mae posting about this on social media a while back so now I got it. It's fun recognizing the avatars of others who supported the album)

rejectconvenience wrote: Sat Jul 19, 2025 5:09 pm It's a very fair question!

While I personally am an advocate of piracy, because of the nature of this forum being public facing (and because of the rules of my hosting provider), I do have to draw a line on sharing that kind of stuff.

Interestingly, this is a discussion for a future video, but I don't want to reveal too much on that front while it's still in the early phases of "idea". But yeah, thanks for asking, I think it's important to challenge these ideas and get clarification where needed!
