Hallo ad4m
That sounds really good.
I’m not sure if people realise just how important it is to have Nanny or a fork of Nanny available to parents.
Some people have said/do say that linux is all about freedom. Freedom always comes with a price - responsibility. Until young children learn/are tought how to use a computer/the internet in a safe and responsible way their parents carry this responsibility for them. They can’t be standing behind their sons and daughters all the time. They need a tool to help.
One of the arguments for giving a child a computer/access to a computer with a proprietary OS is the availability of a “parental control” feature.
If we want to make “moving to linux” a viable option for parents of young children a tool such as “Nanny” is one of the “must have” criteria.
Please believe that what you are contributing here is very important. And will remain important.
It is true that a lot of young children, at least in “rich” societies, are given mobile 'phones at increasingly young ages. Having “Nanny” on Ubuntu-Mate won’t help them directly. But even these younsters could benefit from having first learned how to interact with the seductive/addictive nature of computer games/internet content via a linux computer running a “Nanny” -like tool that helped their parents teach them how to cope.
@Wimpy Hallo Mr. Wimpress. Sorry for posting a direct link to you twice in two days. But you are a busy chap, with a life, and all sorts of things to do. I just wanted to make sure that this revived thread and the good work of ad4m appears on your “radar”.
A wonderful linux day to you both.
