> “Children will be given back their childhoods,”

Taking options away from children will not make their lives better just by itself

And this social media ban might only move the conversation to less transparent channels

WhatsApp and Telegram know more about children than their parents

And child can still spend all doing unhealthy stuff. YouTube kids is addictive enough, at home watching Netflix, playing video games, tablet/phone addictive games...

So the only real solution is force companies to provide better parental controls, maybe aided by AI

And force companies to add better controls/defaults for the population in general to reduce addictive features

> So the only real solution is force companies to provide better parental controls

Parental controls require parents. Many "parents" don't seem to be interested. So in my opinion the only real solution is to get parents to parent.

As an aside: > Taking options away from children will not make their lives better just by itself

As someone who grew up with fewer options, I disagree. It was precisely because I had so few options that I explored (both physically and mentally).

Parents parenting is good. But there are no easy tools for them toto limit apps and websites on the device. And these companies provide very little help

Probably making fund to provide an alternative social media with vetted content for children, without addictive features like feed scrolling, and requiring in person friendships or school partnership, would probably go further to help than bans

Can't see how having facebook banned but roblox, telegram groups, reddit, yt kids available will improve their mental health

But banning everything is also probably just as dumb

Me/Wife have read every single day before bed to our daughter, since before she could talk, and we still do. Books from the library. And some effort involved

Now she also reads a 150 page book every other day

At the age of 7 she has read more books than I did my whole life. Which I don't think I did much anyway

Such a serious effect I would expect tons of research on it. And being commonly known

But it is a seemingly new symptom being attributed to measles

Between that and doctors refusing to diagnose long covid or lyme disease. Which have a much bigger link to immune disorders

One would think someone is trying to muddy the waters. Or accidentally misattributing

Installed it recently for my mother

Seems quite good overall. One the most complete ROMs out of the box

The other day moved the Thunderbird folder profile to another PC, the password was not saved, and I ignored the password pop up a few times, then it started deleting the inbox emails

And it is not the first time it feels unreliable

I would like to think there is a good and reliable open source email client

What do you mean by that?

So today you open a savings account, put money there every month of your life, and in 50 years someone takes it away and gives you a more "reasonable option"?

As expected, someone working for 50 years, and saving some, having more money than someone who worked less

Same for power, for example in companies generally comes with seniority and career years of experience

Not sure what other distribution could anyone expect and which system rules would support it

Is email lack of encryption a feature or a careless bug due to lack of understanding it and it's potencial impact?

> Now if any of the people posting the rage stuff want to actually review any of the code I’ve published and make constructive criticisms then that would be great!

When you quickly churn more lines of code in a few days than you changed in months, and then release them as a normal, not sure you're expecting "constructive criticism"

Also if I suspect the project is just slopping high amount of code without proper thought, I probably won't invest my time into reading those changes

Rsync is a highly trusted software, included in many distros. To move important, and high quantity

If several or critical lines of code get changes quickly, and keeps breaking things, with or without llms, there will be backlash

Rsync should rightly loose reputation if the project allows the release breaking changes to follow the latest hype trend
