We have cars, and kids are not allowed to drive them. Yet we do not have mechanisms in place to ensure kids aren't driving cars because the responsibility falls on the parents, and it works. By and large, parents…
> No. You're still not quite internalizing that the California regulation does not mandate any verification or enforcement or protection of the accuracy of the age bracket data. It mandates that the question be asked,…
I guess I am kind of describing Discord in some sense, I personally discounted Discord as I've only ever used it as a free voice chat for small groups. But to be fair, I would rather leverage basic HTTP websites for…
Yeah, you are right! I have started going down that road the last year or so, but mostly in the IRC sphere. I started hanging out libera.chat, but found a smaller community on irc.inthemansion.com which I really enjoy.…
I think that supporting a wide spread of newspaper on the local level will alleviate all these issues in aggregate. This is what we do in Norway and I think it works quite well to be honest. My municipality of around…
I think the "surveilance capitalism" and centralization of companies like Meta, Google etc has made many of us very sensitive to any systems that will leave traces of us against our will, be it porn, flock cameras or…
You are correct. I was still basing my post of the assumption that the AI scanning was still in the bill and that the proposed two strikes then chats would disclosed was there as well, which they is not. This provision…
I think 'restoring the ability to wiretap' is misleading as this is not 'restoring the ability', its more akin to 'wiretapping everyone all the time'. Wiretapping requires probable cause and a court order in order to be…
I had the same experience with matrix.org, then I set up my own homeserver and it it became a LOT more snappy. Its not perfect, but its been an adequate replacement for me and my few friends who are interested in…
It's not about being defeatist, atleast not for me. It's about what is considered good enough. Sure, locking down the OS in this way is more secure, but it's also very restrictive and personally I don't think the added…
I still prefer tranditional search engines over LLMs but I admit, its results feels worse than it has traditionally. I don't like LLMs for two reasons: * I can't really get a feel for the veracity of the information…
Isn't the Xbox just running a modified version of windows?
You're right, but as one who thinks we've kinda optimized the fun out of the internet over the last years I can't really fault it for being suboptimal. While I don't want all webpages to be like this, I like that this…
I'm a non native English speaker with a name that is written exactly like a very common English name. In my native tongue the pronunciation is different from English by quite a bit. There is no way anyone could…
I find blocking ads online to be as immoral as changing the channel for a few minutes or getting snacks during the ad break on tv. The ads are part of the their monetization, By this logic I'm not fulfilling my social…
Speaking from personal experience I found the process of using dart to be VERY painless. I'm mostly a web developer, but have taken some Java courses in college and have dabbled in a bit of C# outside of my normal…
I don't think this is true for a large majority of us. Use cases and therefore priorities differ, its not that we just haven't "seen the light". My laptop lasts a good 6-7 hours doing normal tasks, but I hardly ever use…
Uniformity perhaps? I for one help manage several workloads that has become quite a lot easier to manage through containers and I'dd rather deal with that than having a few workloads being deployed differently from…
I have a few of those projects as well. MongoDB because mongo is a derogartory word in my language. It is an abbreviation of Mongoloid, was (apparently) used to describe people with Down syndrome, thought I've never…
I've been involved with MPSYT a while back and has been given admin rights to the mps-youtube repository under the mps-youtube organization, but not to pyfa which mps uses. At some point after the owner stopped actively…
Devices being easy or difficult to repair is not really the crux of right to repair. It's more about people being empowered to be able to fix them should they have the skill to do so. I'm only following the subject…
I guess you can add dart and maybe ruby and elixir if you accept that they treated as a map/keyword list on the receiving end of the function. Edit: Ruby apparently made them first class citizens back in 2014. Ive been…
I realize that this comes down to preferences but here are some of the things I can come up with of the top of my head. Again, most of these changes are in the comfortable category. To be very brief * PHP. This comes up…
Guess its a matter of perspective. As an Android user having to help family members with their i devices from time to time, iOS devices frustrate me to no end. iOS might have a good user experience if you're already…
There are at least ways to get the ads down to a manageable level in the mobile app. If i notice a 15 sec ad before the video starts I just restart it and hope for a shorter one. If there is two ads at the start of the…
