I have a small group of PawPaw trees in my yard, but I haven't gotten them to fruit in the three years I've lived here.

The big issue is they're pollinated by flies, and it's a bit of a pain putting the labor in to attract the flies and help them out.

The pleasure...

> How easily will a motivated 10 year old work around them?

Not very easily if they're implemented across their networks and devices.

> Fairly sure there aren't any of these where I live. People cannot and will not move for a different ISP (WTF :-) ).

For ISP you can use your own firewall, install the millions of filters etc.

> It's killed newspapers, so it should replace them. Social media should be legally liable for everything ANY user posts

You're absolutely of base, every media source I'm aware of leverages social media to continue driving traffic to their own sites. Do you have any idea how insane this is when you're dealing with a world of jurisdictions and different definitions of "truth"? You'd rather regulate the platform then the people who abuse it because... i'm assuming you just hate the platform is successful and doesn't behave how you think they should.

Is your argument the entire world should make your parenting easier or they should be punished?

Parent your kids.

There are countless services to block content you don't want.

There are dedicated ISPs and cell phone providers that block content you don't want.

Quit thinking that government regulation & registration are the only ways to prevent children from accessing objectionable content.

Removing internet anonymity as a rule will do far more harm than good. Just because the people you agree with are driving the boat right now, there is no guarantee they will be in charge for long.

Edit: once again the government nanny staters get upset when someone brings up personal responsibilities. Just because it's hard doesn't mean you have to have a government (under the threat of violence) make it easier for you. Has everyone forgotten that social media isn't a right or a requirement for existence? You and your family can just not engage with it.

1. I don't want to use Jira. I don't think this is complecated enough to justify it.

2. That might not have been a bad idea. There is a registration link and the app is fully functional. If you don't trust that though you can spin up a local with docker in 3 minutes. (check the readme)
