Nothing. What people think and say is jail breaking is actually side loading custom android apps, which is actually already part of android. Amazon IMO made it more difficult than it's supposed to be. I installed vlc and stremio and use it alongside all the other apps. Nothing groundbreaking nor illegal. That's not jailbreaking, it's using Android the way it's designed to be used.

Now, why would you make it personal. Why my kids? I wouldn't want my kids to hang near a person like you (I actually don't care, but just so you know that it hurts when people say it like that). My point is, this is not a simple question to discuss and the least it needs is dragging it to a personal level. A more important question is should this even be regulated? And where do you draw the line? Like, I don't think it's a good idea to allow children in unsafe places and in places that exposes them to nudity or explicit content, but I would also very much object if I wasn't allowed to a certain restaurant with a kid, but the pets are allowed. Where is the line? Certain age? Certain gender? Skin color? Pet? At which point is it discrimination? In the end, this comes out as a sort of positive discrimination to make people with children feel less alienated and unwelcome. As a guy with kids, I can tell you I've felt that way too many times. I would certainly not want to ruin anyone's good time and in fact - my kids behave in that way. I don't like being disallowed to take my kids anywhere, though I'm certainly not going to take them to places I don't feel they belong. Children should be allowed in more places, but children should not be allowed to behave any different than any normal adult - if you make noise, you're out, just like a drunk obnoxious guest, for example. Unfortunately, it's a similar situation like with people with pets. People who are the least responsible are the first to take their pets/children where they should not go. It's the parents who are a problem, not children. Not pets.

The wording is bad. But here, we're talking about banning the ban, ie. it's the children who are banned. In principle, I don't mind banning the ban, this feels like discrimination against the children and people with children. But I have children, so I'm biased that way. Of course, uncivilized behavior should not be tolerated, be it children or adults.

This article is about last year's performance, not this year's. Just FYI.

I've never tried it, but there appear to be some rsync apps on f-droid, you could try.

Wow, what a short-sighted view. Android, despite its many shortcomings, gives you orders of magnitude more freedom in almost every way imaginable. And none of its shortcomings are blocking you from using it, rather more or less annoy you.
