Pretty sure when corn memes were popular, I blocked a few accounts that were posting low-effort corn memes every hour or something ridiculous.
I should probably unblock them, but I have no idea who they are anymore. Now they’re mixed in a list of people I don’t want to unblock.

Ahh I’m so close, would you mind adding an improperly formatted spoiler?

It’s a mix, and not necessarily limited to older laptops.
You want to stay up to date with security updates as much as possible. Feature updates are not as important, especially if you want the least bugs.
On windows you can defer security and feature updates separately, I typically set 1 week for security and 1 year for feature updates (Assuming they haven’t changed that option again). That’s been enough for me to dodge the data-deleting updates.
For Linux, I don’t think it’s separated as a quick user option so cleanly. You can install the LTS (Long Term Support) version of your distro. The maintainers of that will do security/bug fixes as needed and slowly push feature updates when they are very well tested.
Set your child to highly destructive mode to wreck those signs.
Likes other says it’s a spectrum.
Think about how a leg issue can be different;
No matter what it is, it’s still a disability, just are some are more of a struggle than others.
Autism has a spectrum too, the problem is somewhere in the brain so we can’t see it like we can see a cane or missing leg. Things like asthma or color blindness are disabilities too, but we can’t see those either.
I’ll assume you brush your teeth at night, that helps a lot. If you also brush your teeth first thing in the morning, the taste will be gone. A mouthwash might also do the trick if you don’t want to brush immediately.
Or eat a fruit or something.
There’s all kind of dev work that needs to be done in industries that aren’t “tech first”, for example a industrial machine manufacture needs someone to program the robot arms and gui - ai doesn’t know how the brand new machine works.
Commercial buildings have all kinds of systems; lighting controllers, audio systems, HVAC, networks, security systems and so on. All of that needs both someone to program the device (and firmware support) and someone to physically deploy and integrate those systems.
It’s pretty hard to avoid corporate hell. Some people find success in smaller, well established, private companies. Less corporate nonsense, or at least HR knows your name and there’s no investors demanding a mass-layoff.
My suggestion is to find something where you’re on-staff for a company that exists outside of the “digital” realm.

Not mentioned is 911, if you’re actively considering something call them too.
Well that script was ran on enough other computers, so the magic algorithm decided if everyone else ran it, it must be fine.
There’s a specific type of person that makes quick, unilateral decisions that effect entire communities, with out allowing time for community members or other admins to participate in a discussion.
They’re called hoa presidents, and I think I can speak for everyone here; we do not want this community ran like a shitty hoa.
Give the mods time to decide how they want to deal with the artist’s we don’t want shared here. I don’t want the moderators to curate it, nor do I think they should have the added workload of digging through an artist’s history to verify they are an issue - which they have to do thoroughly because of how easy it is to edit a comic to be something its not.
I still think the easiest is to just have everyone put the artist name in the title. If the singular post isn’t a problem, it can stay. If people want to block the entire artist, they can make a filter. Perhaps a bot could also be made to pick up on the artist’s name and put an informative “BTW, this guy stinks” in the comments. If a user is repeatedly posting hateful content, then they should get banned.
I think if we require artist name in the title, people can easily filter it out.
Do not remove artist credit, people have the right to know who made the art. For the question of “can you separate art from the artist”, everyone is going to have a different stance on it, and even then it may vary depending on the severity of the artist’s action. Removing the artist credit removes people’s autonomy in that regard.
It also opens the door for people to claim “Billy made one off hand joke 17 years ago, so now we must crop out all their credit because it’s an advertisement”.
Consistent rules will be best. Making exceptions and attempting to maintain a blacklist gets messy to manage and can get out of hand.

Personally I think it should be tagged nsfw.
I like the metric I came up with the other day.
If you’d get arrested for showing it to a 16yr old, tag it. If you’d shoot your “creepy uncle” for showing it to your 16yr old kid, tag it.
It’s not that I think a 16yr old isn’t mature enough for this type of material, but it’s a lot different if a much older person shares it with them. When in doubt - tag it.
