Couple of additions:
Also check the Fossify apps.
Of course it doesn't. It's just a convenient smoke screen. Education and parental oversight are the key.
desktop application created using Electron
🤢 . That's not an application. It's just a bloated way a displaying a webpage. If you truly want to make a desktop application use something like QT.
Some random scripts off the web is a big 🚩.
I'm using filen.io. E2ee and zero knowledge service from Germany. Their desktop client just works.
I only use LibreWolf on my pc's and IronFox or Vanadium on my phone. All except Vanadium have uBlock Origin with all social media blocked. I also use Mullvad vpn with social media blocking at dns level. In addition where vpn is not configured I use Mullvad's dns with all content blocking enabled. Of course no Meta or another social media apps on my Graphene OS phone (except Mastodon and Lemmy). As a cherry on top I use a Linux based OS (OpenSuse Tumbleweed) on my computers primarily (some Windows usage for some gaming).
Curious choice to write a c++ program for this instead of doing the same thing in a powershell script.
One feature it should have: delete itself after running to leave no traces of such a tool.
Another company wants to skip liability. https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/pixel-phones-come-w-forced-arbitration-a:9
Depends on the alternative. E.g. Fedora and OpenSuse have very active communities and lots of help available.
It's about data harvesting and selling not safety or any other mentioned.
In two of my previous jobs (I'm a software engineer) I could officially install any Linux distro to the company laptop (which I did of course) fully replacing the wintoys. Could use the machine as I liked, no corporate mandated BS spyware or anything. On of the provides a SaaS product and used Linux server/virtual machines. Otherwise it was mostly MS bits + sprinkle a little Atlanssian horrors to it.
Unfortunately in my current job I'm limited a VirtualBox Linux running a corporate restricted wintoys machine in a MS environment. A long for the days when I was more productive with my Linux installation.
It's just sad and funny how corporate world is that MS products it has to be (because reasons).
Most definitely applies here. Who determines what is not appropriate for children? Today it's sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. Tomorrow it could be helpful information related to LGBTQ+++ subjects. And so on.
Computer systems have had parental controls forever already. They are the once that should be used. Not to implement another expansion of surveillance.
About 20 years ago it was terrorism. Now it's "think of the children" as terrorism went out of fashion as a reason to implement fascist surveillance state.
