As part of the GNOME Foundation funded Digital Wellbeing project, the GNOME Shell for GNOME 50 has merged options to prevent unlocking the desktop session past their bed time. The intent here is on rounding out GNOME's parental controls functionality.

As highlighted in This Week in GNOME, the GNOME Shell has landed the functionality to prevent unlocking your desktop when it's past your scheduled bedtime. Plus parents or others with control can extend their screen time via new options added.

Alrighty, what the flip made them do this?

What do you mean? This option for parental control is pretty great.

I don't get most commentors on that board though that think that this feature is a bad thing.

Phoronix forums are full of some of the most miserable human beings around.

People don't affectionately call it Moronix for no reason.
