Facebook and YouTube weren’t as good at recommending things back then. It’s not the internet as a whole that’s the problem, it’s what social media has become. Addiction skinner boxes. It’s not ok for kids to grow up using that.

This is solving a systematic problem. The problem of social media companies having free reign to make kids addicted. This will give french kids more freedom to think and do actual things with their life.

A good reason for banning smartphones is social media addiction. Not internet searching. Its currently normal for 12 year olds to be on their phone 6-12 hours a day. And because of peer pressure parents can’t do anything about it. A kid without a phone is isolated because everything happens in chat and social media.

There are more thorough solutions like age gating social media but a blanket school ban is a good start. If you still don’t believe me you should really read up on what smartphones do to a kid. Addiction, lack of self control, no attention span, nearsightedness, the list goes on. Based on leaked research by TikTok itself btw.

In China they don’t destroy their own kids because they already know the effects. TikTok shows different stuff there (educational content and propaganda), and kids are limited to 40m(!!!) per day. Everyone is going to deal with scores of fucked up kids while they don’t.

Thanks for the headsup. That makes my notification icon feel a lot less risky to click 😅

That’s pretty rough. I hope Lemmy webclient and app developers will make some changes to the way images are handled in DMs based on these events. Just don’t load images in DMs until you click a button or something.

Ah yes more paperwork is certainly going to make your employees more productive. Why don’t you also require them to prototype if kicking a rock against the wall 10 times does the job, instead of actually letting them do the job?

So chain of thought is an awful experiment that doesn’t let you know how an AI reasons. Instead of admitting this, AI researchers anthropomorphize yet another test result and turn it into the model hiding their thought process from you. Whatever.

Cool I didn’t know peertube supports live streams. Tried it and it worked like a charm

Getting better at communication takes time and practice. Depending on where someone is in that journey, a post like this can make a big difference. And I think we can all use a reminder to be kind every so often. So, thanks for taking the time to write this out

Dunno maybe you can subscribe to more instances (sublemmies? I don’t know the lingo) and somehow filter out the ones that go bad quickly. My enjoyment of Lemmy went up by a lot once I started ignoring the front page and curating my subscribed instances. Just make sure you visit the list of communities every so often

For some reason listed all the way in the corner, I used to love Bandcamp but they are US based sadly. Always thought of them as the good guys but they are owned by Epic now so who cares. The French Qobuz should be a good alternative for buying DRM free albums, haven’t tried them yet though.

People give Spotify shit for paying artists awfully, does anyone know if this is better for Qobuz? I feel like revenue is always going to turn out bad when you’re not buying any albums. €15 per month for 2x access is just not that much over a few hundred listens.

Also like someone pointed out Soundcloud is German. Worth mentioning again. This doesn’t seem like a very carefully curated list, so I expect there to be a lot more options.

Yeah idk how someone can make that mistake. Its listed on their about page and Wikipedia.

Thanks for the guide on how to switch. I’ve been using a mail provider with my own domain for a while now. I’m not unhappy with their service but they only let me make a few inboxes. Good to know switching can be seamless.
