I have amd 9700 and it is not listed while it is great llm hardware because it has 32Gb for a reasonable price. I tried doing "custom" but it didn't seem to work.
Even if you design the perfect system, kids will just ask parents for an unlocked account, many parents will accept, myself included. My kids have full access to the internet and I never used parental control, I talk to them. Of course, I don't want to give parenting advice, that would be presumptuous. But, my point is that a motivated kid will find a way, you have to "work" on that motivation.
Many of the worst present on the internet is not age gated at all, you have millions of porn websites without even a "are you over 18" popup. There are plethora of toxic forums...
Of course it's a complex problem, but the current approach sacrifice a lot of what made the internet possible and I don't like it.

This is what I find most insane about the UK's age verification law. It's literally so easy to find adult content without proving your age... You can literally just type in "naked women" into a search engine and get porn...
To call it ineffective would be an understatement. Finding adult content on the web almost just as easy as it's always been. The only thing it's made harder is accessing adult content from the normie-web – you can't access porn on places like Reddit anymore, but you can access porn on 4chan and other dodgy adult sites.
If the argument is "think about the kids" there are more effective ways to do it... Requiring device-level filtering for example would likely be more effective because it could just blacklist domains with hosting adult content unless unrestricted. It would also put more power in the parents hands about what is and what isn't restrict.
The solution is education. The most well adjusted kids I've seen are told flat out about the risks they'll face and, in general, helped to understand there are break points where things get too serious for them to try to deal with on their own.
I think that if you block all porn, social media, etc. all that does is create an opportunity for kids to be shifted to platforms controlled by bad actors. Adults fall victim to pig butchering schemes where they're given 100% fake investment apps that look completely real and they don't realize they're getting scammed until they try to get their money out of the system. There was a story in Canada about a guy and his daughter that thought they had $1 million in savings and it was a pig butchering scam with a fake app.
Are kids today equipped to deal with that? What happens when someone tells a kid to get app XYZ because it's un-moderated, but that app is controlled by a bad actor? Imagine a Snapchat like platform promising ephemeral messaging with simple username / password on-boarding so parents don't see account creation emails, but the app is run by organized crime.
I don't even know how you handle it if they manage to normalize the idea of children sending ID to random platforms. In addition to getting platform shifted and exploited, kids will be vulnerable to sending their real ID to bad actors.
The whole thing seems insane to me. Spend some money on education. That's the only long-term option.
Web client, but I think movim has GIF picker and screensharing features. It even does multiparty video calls, compatible with dino. Since it's P2P, it does not scale well to a lot of users, but the developer is working on SFU support for larger video calls.
As a FOSS advocate, I am quite astonished that this space has no FOSS "product." I mean PBX has things like asterix. We have good servers like ejabberd and prosody for XMPP. There are excellent voice chats like mumble.
Basically, Discord, but based on an open protocol to enable better interoperability. With a meeting functionality where you can send links that works directly in browser with no account. Also the discord video chat UI is garbage.
I know there are things like revolt chat. But my point is, I'm surprised that this is not more "filled".
I doubt you break your leg every year though. The kind of companies that we're talking about (big tech that are national champions) offers health insurance (among other benefits) and 200-500k USD/year salaries.
I think culture and quality of life not withstanding, the raw numbers simply don't favor the EU becoming a tech leader with the current incentives.
The thing is that in Europe, you don't need your employer to have health insurance. It's more beneficial for everyone in the end (well, obviously not for the private health insurance companies who care more about their margins than public wellness).
I really don't see money as an incentive. Political and economic stability of the whole country is much more important. Of course you need enough to afford food and roof, but after that, I'm not chasing it.
I'm a freelance, and I take fun jobs, not jobs that pay well.
Quality of life in places like San Francisco and New York is very high, and you get the insane salaries, and your healthcare is oftentimes mostly if not completely covered by your employer (I pay literally $0 out of pocket for high quality healthcare here in San Francisco).
> Quality of life in places like San Francisco and New York is very high
Quality of life is also a cultural thing. I know it's hard to understand for US people (I truly believe it is the case for cultural reasons), but many people really don't want the lifestyle of the US for all sorts of reasons. For some people, quality of life means easy access to healthy food, or to nature, seeing trees instead of giant concrete parking lots or 6-lanes highways, etc.
Have you ever been to San Francisco? How many 6 lane highways do you think exist in the city of San Francisco?
I can tell you (I live here) -- there are none. SF is one of the most beautiful cities on Earth, and I'm trying my hardest to visit as many cities on earth as possible.
A analogy for major health events that demand a lot of money, to which I replied you don't have $major_health_event every year. Interesting that you didn't pick that up.
If its not just breaking a leg, than you can be sure that you'll have at least one or two in a 10 or 20 years, each one you'd have to pay more than 50kUSD or more for full treatment including pills. In most of Europe, you'll be paying close to 0.
