Completely agree with you. I'm definitely underqualified to speak of this, as I have no children, but I have a masters degree in pedagogy, started a PhD in pedagogy years ago that I never finished and briefly worked as a teacher, but I've never once in my life saw as little as a proper article with any proof that belief in Santa is in any way beneficial to a child's developement.

Moreover I honestly believe it's detrimental. Such belief often leaves children in poor families disappointed and resentful when they see their friends get much more impressive gifts. On top of that such belief leads to ungrateful and entitled behavior in children as they believe they are owed a present, without understanding the sacrifices their parents have to make to buy this present.

Tldr: Please don't make your kids worship capitalist mascots, if you want them to have a magical childhood just read them a book or spend quality time with them.

I would love to have an open, hackable, linux-based eBook reader.

Just gave it a try, and it seems to work just fine like that. Thank you.

Just with different environment variables?

Is it ok to just run a few instances with just different port numbers and environment variables? Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I thought some isolation was needed, even planned on running the instances as different users. Also, thank you for the detailed explanation.

It may be a bit minimal for your taste, but I wholeheartedly recommend Alpine. I'm currently running AdGuard and opentracker on a RaspberryPi 1B with Alpine edge, and the experience has been rock solid.

I have the exact same model sending me birthday reminders daily. Scraped all my facebook friends’ birthdays years ago and made a very basic telegram bot. Saved me more than one embarrassing moments, including today, as I completely forgot about my brother’s birthday.

That's so cool. What was you playthrough like? I believe the first time I got to the border I only had a dog with a shotgun left.

Then beauty standards would be based on AI generated images. Full circle of simulacra.

Even their old flagships are still quite good. I'm currently daily driving two 7 years old Mi6 phones with Lineage, because you just can't find a small phone nowadays.

Do you know if there is a EU-wide place to report such behavior?

The biggest privately owned TV channel in my country not only does that, but actually just redirects you to a pdf file if you want to "manage cookies". And it's not like I can submit a complaint on a national level, as the ruling party's website uses google analytics without a cookie notice at all.
