Yeh, no. Parents are doing what they can, but it inevitably comes down to “but my friend x has it so why can’t I have it” - so all and any help from government / schools is a good thing. This is so, so, so obviously a nasty, dangerous

I’m unclear how the new data helps anyone? If you identify you’ve been in a data breach with Adobe for instance, you change your Adobe password. But if you’re in this new dataset there’s no service being pointed at - just “you’ve been breac

It’s an addictive site, yes. But IMO it’s not social media. For me one of the primary factors in determining the social media that I really want to avoid / does the most harm - is the primacy of the individual profile. It’s always seem

The whole (original) premise of social media was "let's make a more human side of our business so that people can connect with us". Now we've come full circle where the robots are making all the social content and increa

Oh, I’ve got many, many hills to die on. But at some level this is to me symptomatic of two broad things - maybe these are bigger hills: 1) a business making (seemingly) huge profits from the fears of others; more specifically from the fear

I’m sufficiently old / sensible (you decide) to think that uploading video of your baby (to anywhere) is fucking weird and fucking spooky and not needed anyway. This is a solution that doesn’t have a problem. Worse: it prays on parenta

Not sure that benign or alignment is that easy. I mean, as frequent authors have pointed out - I have a very much benign attitude towards ants. I don’t step on them if I can help it and I don’t maliciously go out to pour boiling water on th

Same. My sons are 21 and 18, both are fairly typical of their peer group - they belong to and participate in Insta, Snapchat etc but it’s very much small private groups and not public posting.

Not using the hellscape of modern social media solves the problem, no?

Really great, very responsive, fun, like the fact you can download your work in lots of different formats. Ace!

I'm gonna guess that the OP (and many others) might use Git purely for the source file. I don't know about other DAWs but Ableton which is my DAW of choice has .als (which is usually pretty small) which contains references to the

Just use it how you want to use it. For me, a bit of structure is enough - too much and it becomes unwieldy. But don’t let anyone tell you it’ll either save your life or become your “second brain”, that’s all bullshit. Just stick with no pl

Agree. Recently I’ve noticed the complaints with paying for Kagi search [0]. HN loves to moan about how bad Google is but paying $10 ($5 if you want a tiny plan) is apparently too much for something as critical as search? As you say, those

I’m never clear why the solution I have - a kind of hybrid of cloud and local - isn’t more popular. I make use of google drive, apps and google photos and therefore suffer the knowledge that my stuff is probably being used to train AI (I’m

Dig deep enough (not even very deep at all, actually) and you’ll find evil. It’s not like the US is in any way squeaky clean.

100% this. I don’t know how long we have to go on pushing at the “wealth will trickle down” door to discover it’s utter bullshit and always has been. The answer isn’t private companies, because they’re continuing to take the piss and make a

Some comments here that IMO seem to miss the whole point of what art is about. Great art (putting aside - what can I call it - “entertainment art”) isn’t about “making you feel better” or “having a nice experience”, it’s about art as expres
