    Do it like anything movie, a voluntary rating system for anyone who posts a video, and a moderation system based on strength of numbers.

    Dont get me started on ads. I already pretty much filter them quite well with osx, and given current PHB and repressive changes in law that seriously affect my right to privacy. I might as well go full tor and try to get around ads at router/firewall level, including youtube. About the contents, I make an effort to turn it to more sane, but it is not easy.

  8. Does it solve my main problems? on YouTube Kids Launches On Android and iOS · · Score: 1

    My profile is already quite "poluted" with kids stuff...my main gripe about youtube are the ads, my kid already knows how to bypass them. My kindgmon for a youtube app that does not show ads!... In my Macs filters cut them out, however not as pratical for the kid as the iPad.

    Well me, too, but once again you are distorting the core of the discussion. Comparing rich doctors doing work pro bono and poor people being exploited is competing apples to oranges. And I won't say more, you are here for trolling than having a racional discussion.

    Why do I have to do your work? Use google and you will find out Debian committee is nowadays heavily infiltrated by ex-RedHat people.

    I realize it is hard to realize medical people eking out a life of 200-400 dollars/month in a mission in algeria and mozambique, while expats are doing qualified jobs earning between 10 to 50 times more, does not defect out of fear of not seeing the family back home anywhere, or worse, they being harmed. And if you think Cuba does not profit with their exploitation, you are very naive. We are not talking about rich people doing a sting out of their own good will. And I am not American, btw.

  14. Re:Helping Castro on Cubans Allowed To Export Software and Software Services To the US · · Score: 2

    Thanks for the comments. It remembered me of the pyramid of the needs of maslow that I first heard about in faculty. I have lived in Africa 6 years, and the scenario is exactly the same, the elites oppress the people for their own profit, and 50 years down the road, the fault is still on the former settlers. Or "settlers" on the case of South Africa (you will have to have an idea of SA history to understand why I choose to use ").

    Sorry by the mistake, how it made so fast to *Debian stable*.

  16. Re:Why are distros moving to systemd? on Removing Libsystemd0 From a Live-running Debian System · · Score: 1

    No need to do it quickly. For now, in Debian 8, in a server environment without graphical interfaces, it is perfectly feasible to avoid systemd using package pinning when upgrading or preseeding when installing. Future will tell where we are headed. I have already starting launching FreeBSD boxen in my test systems.

    Do you know the concept of an example or figure of speech? I do not like some evil corp, like sony or MS, or whatever it is, and I walk with my feet [and wallet]. You are reading more on my post than I intended to.

    rot13, so many others... but why not boycott steam in the first place? Thats what I do not get. Mind you I am not a steam user, but I never liked Microsoft, so I simply do not use any of their products. Not at all. nada. Zero. Is that so difficult to understand?

    Did they? Some were in foreign missions doing highly qualified medical field work for peanuts in nasty and/or poor countries, and did not leave/defect out of the fear of having family back home.

    As far as I noticed, the embargo is making the people of Cuba even poorer. I doubt Castro family and cronies are much affected by it, money buys everything.

    It is quite well known systemd was a political backed decision and not a technical one. Plus I will never understand how it made so fast to stable.

    Will it work? Even at faculty, only a few of "us" actually knew how to program. The rest was there, just because. Some were completely lost as coming from humanistics and nurse school.
