Is it the phone that is the problem, or more generally impulse control etc? If the former, 'blaming' and fixating on the phone may be avoiding whatever changes are really needed, elsewhere. IANAP...

Fully agree. I won't buy from a site if the only way to do so is via a forced account creation. I won't touch anything from Meta so cannot even see FB-only businesses! I won't install native apps on my phone: please just m

Was there anyone else there that knew and worked with you both? If so, talk to them about it. Do you want to commemorate Fred in some way? Hold a Zoom wake? Or just let it all go. Or actively blame all bugs on Fred for a while... B^&g

Not quite the same, but I went back to do a theoretical comp sci MSc though I was running my own business, and now, ~30Y later, I'm back doing a PhD in a different field. The MSc was worthwhile, and the PhD seems to be so far.

It's always easy to be doom and gloom, and the press loves to push that fear and dread end-of-the-world line too for their sales. But having been through several rounds of crashes and recessions and lived other places around the UK an

London (and nearby) seems fairly good right now if you can squint past some of the politics and media culture war fixations... As good as ~Y2K I'd say. Indeed I may be having more fun now!

I contributed to NTP. The manufacturers of the cheap device I cajoled within ntpd into generating more than an order of magnitude more precision than they expected offered me decent money to write them a commercial driver. But I pointed ou

If you want search engines (or other automatic systems) to grok your metadata then you have to be organised. And it is easy to validate (or not), both the HTML and the metadata.

Follow an organised system such as schema.org if you want your metadata to be widely understood. And it need not all be in meta tags in that case. Try this tool against pages such as YouTube or www.earth.org.uk: https://validato

Mastodon seems generally to be ND-friendly, according to ND people that I interact with on it, though maybe spend some effort to find the right instance and/or be prepared to move (there's a mechanism for it) in due course.

Which is not quite the same! "Why don't you just do X?" assumes that the people being spoken to are stupid in some way, overlooking the obvious. "When you tried X, why didn't it do the job?" is a whole lot kind

I'm sorry that your experience is bad. I have two teens. While it has not all been perfect I have been able to do start-ups, make new friends, revive old friendships, and get some excellent personal support that way. And indeed that
