I would be fairly surprised if they actually did this for tracking purposes. This sounds like nonsense to me. They already have plenty of information about you and they literally sent the notification.

The majority of children in the 6–12 age group are highly unlikely to download, configure, or subscribe to VPNs without adult help.
The naivety! It's like 5 clicks to download and use Proton VPN. You don't even need to register!
Even if it were more difficult, children have friends. They talk to each other.
Also grouping 6 and 12 year olds together is an interesting choice. Sure, a 6 year old is unlikely to do this, but why would a 6 year old even try?
Cool. I feel like semihosting is almost cheating though.
Of all the things to buy from AliExpress, this is definitely not one of them.
Yeah it was inspired by Powershell. But it also has syntax that isn't completely awful.
Yeah but often their trick is to push through the idea. It's easier if people are just like "eh fine, I can just lie".
Then later they say "it turns out lots of people have been lying! Lying is bad, so we need to stop them." - then they don't need to debate the idea of age verification because everyone has "agreed" to it already. They only need to argue that people must be honest, which is way easier.
Not currently, but in theory that is better, true.
Most reasonable countries have capitalism and regulations to prevent unbounded exploitation of workers and the environment. Moderation, imagine that. Something a centrist might believe in...
No. Closest is probably Zed but it's still way way off from being a serious VSCode competitor. For example it has no settings GUI at all; just a JSON file. It can't edit large files. Font rendering is still hit and miss.
Ask again in 5 years...
How "production" are we talking? Pretty bad idea if it's an important work server. "Sorry boss, nobody could connect today because VSCode's mojam.service hit one of its many many 100% CPU bugs".
I think in theory there's no reason it isn't technically possible, but I doubt it's set up to allow it because that's a pretty odd thing to want to do.
Edit: oh you want to access it via Android. That makes vaguely more sense.
Yeah it's obviously an improvement but I guess you can't really sell a distro on "it has a more logical filesystem layout which may cause some issues, and it's super super niche which will definitely cause some issues".
Probably a lost cause. I imagine Flatpak will actually work properly before the Unix filesystem hierarchy is made sane.
