If you trust the government that controls a TLD, then use the site. If not, proceed with caution.

Good to know. Thanks!
It would also be nice if there were a way to use them anonymously. ChatGPT seems to allow this, but I’m not entirely comfortable with OpenAI.
I mean, some game studios consult child psychologists and lawyers to better implement addictive gambling-like mechanics without being liable for that.
For example? They couldn’t consult child psychologists for this purpose. It would be an ethics violation of the highest order and would get any license revoked.
Media does impact the consumer…
What kind of media? Evidence?
But violent games that do reach the market and aren’t dead on arrival are mild in that and can only supplement other, more real problems like mental health issues, trauma, neglect, bullying. And in 99.9% cases it’s just an excuse to push them under the carpet. Like, from drawing a line to what makes older demographics cause daily mass shootings. Not videogames, not even guns mostly, but the environment and culture as a whole.
Again, videogames simply do not influence social behavior. It’s difficult to find credible non-biased research, but here are a couple of relatively recent articles:
What “older demographics”? “Daily mass shootings”? Where do you live?
All that said, environment does seem to impact social behavior. It’s likely a much stronger influence than a recreational activity.
What evidence links video games to violent thinking? I’m unaware of any.
That question aside, there’s simply no evidence that gaming impacts behavior, which as you suggest is the major interest here.
One thing I wish we could ban are opportunistic suits from hungry law firms that are just hoping that these companies will settle rather than fight an obviously frivolous suit. This is an insult to the civil legal system
Agreed on all points.

For example?
Video games do not promote violence according to any modern ethical research on the question.
I can’t imagine the pain of these families, and I’d want to lash out at any available target, too. They might even get lucky and have a settlement offer from Activision rather dragging everyone through a trial. But if this even makes it into a courtroom, I would bet that it will ultimately go nowhere. There’s just no credible evidence to support the claim.
Google are trying their best to make YouTube unusable. They’re about to succeed.

Ummm, have these numbnuts never heard of a VPN?

Could Zenkit work for you?
It’s been requested repeatedly. Glad to see it’s on the roadmap.
I’m interested in this as well. Not for keeping up with an office but for keeping up with which family members are out of the house.
Someone else already mentioned dbzer0. With a bit of searching, you may find another that fits the parameters. Good luck!
No, too compact and hermetically sealed precisely to prevent the owner working on them is exactly the main reason I avoid any Apple “Air” product. I’ve lost my fanboy membership card since they started “iOS-ifying” their full computers, removing ports and optical drives, and breaking the right to repair.
Honestly, I don’t know. The last Mac I bought was for my kid’s high school graduation about ten years ago. I only know that I’d steer clear of anything with “Air” in the name.
Sounds like a good idea. I own a couple of Dells, but I don’t work on them very much (although that may change since my laptop keyboard seems to be dying). Someone around here surely knows about reinforcement brackets and docking ports.
If you’re considering docking your laptop anyway, have you thought about getting a desktop case and fan so that you can repurpose your existing motherboard into a tower?
Indeed 😜
I’m not suggesting that you should. But if the government that controls a TLD is not trusted, then no site under that TLD should be trusted either.
