We can agree to disagree, thats fine. You give your kids mobiles and tablets from toddler age and I will bring mine up in the physical world and introduce them to tech gently over time, finally giving them full smart devices later in life w

The original reason apps were popular was because they provided access to device apis such as accelerometer and gps which websites didnt. Think the beer drinking app etc. Since web apis have caught up and allowed the same functionality, the

I very much hope we continue to bring our children up outside of a digital world, encouraging them to interact and learn physically before introducing them to digital devices later in life when they can treat them sensibly as a small part o

Phones and social media are a completely new type of pacifying and attention stealing threat which we have only just begun to discover the effects of. This is not your standard 'kids are doomed' rhetoric.

There is a lot more than that. Monitoring things like power generation, fuel, breaking ability, wheel heating sensors, managing door systems, human aspects like reading signals and lights and deciding what to do, all the way down to simple

Yep, and it is terrible for the planet. Avocados use disproportionate amount of water to grow, and the boom of their popularity n the west has caused massive water issues in already resource stretched parts of the world. https://

Yep, thats the attitude thats keeps pushing the machine forward. For example its the same as flying on planes. Number one worst offenders for C02 is frequent flyers, yet whenever you question anybody on it the argument is always "the p

Why not go down to your local independent pet store, keep your money local and support your neighbours instead of giving it to directors and shareholders sitting on beaches in French Polynesia?

Such a shame that easily broken and disposable pieces of plastic are shipped around the globe in huge numbers, all in the name of selfish first world comfort. How future generations will look back at our convenience online ordering practice

I have experienced and feel very much the same, and it is refreshing to see a realistic post about the success of agentic coding instead of the usual hype or doom.

No, you just have to host it there and use a VPN. Like all piracy sites are done right now.

It really should be as simple as that, which proves all these regulations are really there for something else.

Not sure why you are directing this at me personly, I dont pirate anything. However I have had experience with many people in the industry who would rather their media reached a wider audience, regardless of how much money it makes. If you

Fair enough, I'll trust your maths. Still if I was ceo I'd take a third hit for another year and grab that sweet market share.

95% of the worlds population don't care about those things at all. That's why apple devices are so popular.

Apple made $120 Billion in profit last year alone. They could easily keep swallowing this if they wanted to. But then they would only make $119 billion profit this year, and their reports would show negative growth. Cant have that now.
