About to become a father in Jan.

Nonsense, that's a good age.

A lot of people in my hometown have their first children at ~18 to 19 and things often don't go well because the parents aren't ready.

That is pretty young.

I'll be 35 at the end of September. I know that's kind of old to be having a child.

thats great.  i am 35, and i wished i married and had kids earlier.   right now, i would like to have kids, but with my career taking a crazy setback, and having no wife or a woman i want to have kids with, i might have to wait a few more years to settle down.

my brother is having his 3rd kid (and finally a boy) in december. so i will be an unkle for the 3rd person, with no kids of my own.   all my friends already have 2 kids each.

hope all goes well for you and get ready for the nightmare of the first year.   though, ideally, the hard time will be more for the wife then yourself :shifty:

it'll come my friend. I've heard all about the first year and it sounds a little rough haha. And after all these years I've finally made it to 1,500 posts haha.

Congratulations! Girls are tough, I have two, however, there are truly a blessing. You will shape their future relationships, and it is you who will define what a man is to them. Hold this obligation dear to heart.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
