Sure, a lot of school devices don’t have great controls though. I played Minecraft on the school computers. A good chunk of the devices that kids are using to comment on podcasts or whatever, a user will be able to run their own executables on. Some school computers explicitly allow this so they can teach kids to code.

I mean, you can host servers on a laptop. I ran my Minecraft server and a few web apps off my laptop when I was a kid. Had to get my parents to do the port forwarding as I didn’t have access to the router login, but otherwise was quite straightforward. And before someone says “so you needed your parents”, I’m sure some kids can figure out the login/their parents may be using the default login and would not be savvy enough to figure out their kid had set up a port forward.

When was Ubuntu “lightweight”? I’m not saying it was always bloated, but it was never supposed to be minimalist either. It was just an easy works-out-of-the-box Linux experience.

Dude donated a shit ton of money to slop Linux (omarchy). What did he expect?

That’s cool, but this would end up blocking Palestinians who live in “Israel” as well. I imagine it might also capture the West Bank too, but even aside from that, there’s a lot of Palestinians living in '48 Palestine too. A good Palestinian friend of mine has an “Israeli” phone number for instance, and if she was connecting from back home it would appear as an “Israeli” IP address.
