My mouse’s middle click is easy to hit accidentally, and so I often paste stuff on accident, I just wish I could disable it. The “select to copy” doesn’t work for me either, since I often absentmindedly select things while I’m reading.
The reaction that I see here explains why, I guess.
It’s cool, but I cannot count the amount of times I was confused by that and accidentally pasted after switching, I would be glad if it became configurable.
It’s a tad slower than a desktop rx 480
If you don’t understand that the motivation is to target kids with ads and influencer content designed to push products, you’re not going to solve anything.
I 100% agree that social media companies are incentivized to make their platforms toxic to children, and that people on those platforms are motivated to exploit them, but immoral people existing is not the problem here.
Kids have to have spaces to communicate with each other in order to develop healthy socialization skills.
They don’t have to use social media for that though, not only are third spaces alive and well in many places including much of France (and where I live), chat apps are 100% enough for kids to socialize.
I know that every teen where I live uses instagram to communicate with friends, but only the group/1to1 chats and stories, which are available in chat apps. The main feed(s) never show you things from your friends anyways.
I feel like you are envisioning “chat apps” to mean “text-only”
No, when I think of chat apps I think of signal and discord. Both have a ton of social features, the difference is that there isn’t an algorithm that acts as a vector for harmful bullshit or public profiles. Public rooms are still an issue, but from experience being a tween/teen on those platforms, it’s not even close to being as bad. Said bad actors do not exist in anywhere near the same capacity. Imo the harm of public chat rooms falls under the “parents can handle this” umbrella.
If it was the case that it was just individual actors on the platform causing the harm and not the structure of the platforms incentivizing said harm, then we would see more of this type of thing in real life as well.
I struggle to think of a more complete solution to the harm caused by social media to children than just banning them.
I may have misunderstood your thesis though, and in that case please correct me.
Which part do you think I’m lying about?
Most parents either don’t know how to do that, or don’t care enough to stop their kids from using social media, despite how harmful it is for society as a whole, and especially children, and since all their friends are on social media, a child can credibly argue that they need to use it to maintain their social life. If social media is banned for under 16’s, then children would have to communicate with normal chat apps. Also I know from experience that parental controls can easily be bypassed by a dedicated child.
A propely implemented (as in ZKP verification that gives no information to the service other than the age category) age gate is a good thing in my opinion, because at some point some systemic problems are better served by systemic solutions. We don’t let parents decide if their kids should smoke or drink alchohol either.
Odds are someone would make an open source service that does the age verification that server owners could setup easily, that is, if the verification is done using franceconnect or some Zero Knowledge Proof service.
If it’s ID verfication then it would be awful.
said older shooters are things like doom and quake, if you played those in your early twenties when they released you’d be nearing retirement, I think it’s a fair descriptor.
I mean, it refers to the games that are like those older shooters that old people used to play, I think it works well as a term to distinguish those games from more standard shooters. Also it’s catchy, which really helps
Can confirm, satisfactory works great for me on (fedora) linux aswell
Kind of seems like reinventing the wheel to me, given that I, at least, can maintain like 50wpm on my phone. I have a hard time imagining another design that could let me type faster.
uuuuuuuuh

did I get it right?
I was really confused before reading the title lmao
pixi is super underrated in my opinion
Claiming we now speak in a chatbot-influenced dialect disregards the beauty of human expression. Language evolves with technology, but that doesn’t mean we’re losing our voice. Instead, we’re blending styles, adapting to new contexts while holding on to our rich heritage. Let’s celebrate this evolution rather than fear it; it reflects our creativity in an ever-changing world!

yay! I made that icon :D
Ironically something like zoom might be right.
I can’t say for sure they have persistent chat, but maybe something like bigbluebutton could work?
Thing is modern clipboard managers like the one on kde server and equivalent purpose.
