my dad set up parental controls on the family computer that made it harder for me to play play-by-post dnd games on forums, so an older kid in the dnd group walked me through making and using an ubuntu live CD to get around them. today I work in IT. thanks Justin, whenever you are

Probably not the same Justin, but i handed out live cds and Linux advice like candy in a looooot of 200xs forums. On the other Justin’s behalf, you’re welcome.

Not computer related, but my parents took away my DND books until I was 18 to protect me from them. Now I teach adolescent development, play ttrpgs as my primary hobby, and make content about ttrpgs as a secondary hobby. So, talk about your all-time backfires...

...so you're saying that if I want my kids to have a lucrative job in IT, I should block just enough of the internet for them to get annoyed enough to learn to code, but not so much that they can't get the resources for coding.
