o2?

I had the opposite problem. I had very few friends IRL, and wasn’t happy. I made a lot more online. Had social media been banned for children, I’m not sure how my life would have gone.

I think the issue is not so much social media inasmuch it’s abilities for parental and user controls lacking (or being unbalanced), or algorithms promoting severe polarisation and radicalisation towards fascism.

That and the cost of living as well the ginormous malevolent oligarch class, which affect all the above. Those are the root issues.

It’d be better to addres those.

This is the internet, an international place. Everyone’s informed opinion is valuable here, regardless of country.

But Youtube Kids fucks over everyone, even those who are not a kid. Google’s Youtube for example automatically deletes the comment section if it even remotely thinks your video is aimed at children. So content creators instead have to get creative and insert unneccessary violence/gore (like Cas van de Pol does), to avoid this.

If your kids go to peers to have social media access, then why don’t you host gatherings for the kids and friends that are social media-free? You know, the ones that existed before internet?

It can also be enforced differently. On schools, there are social media bans that work without infringing privacy.

Guess how they figured it out? They simply confiscated mobile phones until school was over.

Fuck that shit. I’m not a kid and don’t want people spying on me.

Just make the parental controls much easier to set up, have media literacy lessons instead, and that would help far more.

You can quite literally set up screentime for your children easily. So why not do that? Why not mandate that a children’s phone must have a limited amount of screentime?

People with absent parents still require a caretaker, so then those. And those that have toxic/abusive parents… well, how is it going to improve for them if they can’t find help online? If they’re prohibited from going outside?

No, I think we should address it by the root; the polarisation and fascist radicalisation, caused by algorithms promoting hateful content, caused by billionnaires’ growing exploitation of the proletariat, by which they steer social media to their own whims.

That needs to be kicked out.

Why not explain to them how to safely navigate the internet, and tell them that if they ever encounter something strange, they can speak to you? Why not put up blockers yourself? Or not give them access to social media in the first place?

Just a heads up, the other one ( teyrnon from shitjustworks) who commented to you, promoted strongmans and such authoritarian measures, to fight authoritarianism.

I also used to have that impostor syndrome experience. For me, it mostly stopped half a dozen months in, once I started passing enough to be androgynous-ish.

afaik euro-office is a fork of libreoffice that is redesigned to look more like onlyoffice

that or it’s a fork from onlyoffice

Interesting, thanks! Does the type of launcher affect the privacy/security negatively for the user in any way? Is the Bliss launcher for example, less secure/private/anonymous than the ‘default’ GOS one, and if so, in what ways?

sidelemmies, bylemmies, is what i usually call them instead. officially they’re called communities.

no, iirc that site just doesn’t have https . which is baffling, most modern sites do

is it this one? site sadly doesn’t work with https

there’s also a github demo

this one explains some possibilities with it, but sadly it’s an advertisement instead of being available for free…:

This is the only real factor I’d say should be important. Heritable physical and mental diseases should be factored.

(Well, to you donating, that is. To people who want to use the donated, appearance like hair type/colour, eyes, height, or other stuff might be a thing).

Without force, no. Luigi made most healthcare insurers suddenly reimburse a lot more quickier for a while…

Yeah yeah, idc. I’m not gonna invest in a fucking Nazi company.

At the end of the day, Elon will ask his Trumpy Wumpy to pump and dump and the corruption will enrich them even more.

I’ll invest in Starlink when:

A) the multimillionnaires and billionnaires are all dead or eliminated
B) Starlink is owned for and by the worldwide community, not by a private individual in a state

corruption, coups, and cronyism*

I’d prefer option C: eliminate the ruling class and save the planet.

Likewise. I hate getting up early.

If it were me, I’d work 10-18, 4x a week instead.
