I’m liking this!

pretty sure my son with an android tablet and my daughter with a iPad can both still make phone calls lol. They are literally megaphones.

I’m sure this is a joke but Ubuntu is Debian at the core.

Found the eastern European! /s

Oh god I’m glad those are erased from my brain after 30 years lol

I will continue to argue that GenX is the only true technology literate generation because we grew up with the technology as it evolved. Future generations are more consumers not partners in the technology they own.

Yea it’s a vast generalization but Apple is a good analogy of this. Most people now just want “a technology that works” without any understanding or control over how it works. That’s a recipe for technological serfdom under the new generation of technocratic companies designed to own us.

Am I ever going to own a free phone? Probably not, but that doesn’t excuse me from at least understanding from a high level all the players involved in my phone and where they’re generating value from me.

Then get him pistachios?

It amazes me how salty people are about this. I switched over to Bluetooth headphones. Battery life is amazing. No issues syncing. Quality is great. No 3rd party app needed. It’s a nothing-burger.

Imagine something as stupid as this living rent free in someone’s brain

Shake it off and grab them women by the pussy. You can do that because you’re rich

So true?

Best is when you’re at the end and you bring out the spatula. It’s like a mini Christmas.

Seriously. In Canada too. Our countries are huge but even in populated areas like LA there are well documented food deserts.

There’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time

Maybe if Norway had more brown people to go with the oil America might have more interest in it lol

And for the most part it’s still powered by underpaid South Asian manpower lol.

Ah yes. A phone is a car. Got it.

Also, who tf is exploiting kids because they have a phone? Do you also remove all TVs from your house? What about the radio? Can’t have Lady Gaga singing about “poke her face” to my kids! Lol

Ugh just looked. It’s still chromium

I haven’t checked out Vivaldi in a long time due to the distaste of what happened to Opera and I did not see any of Opera in Vivaldi. Has Vivaldi captured the magic that was Opera 12.04 yet?

This is an extremely reactionary take. I hear what you are saying but I draw the line as delusional and irresponsible unless you apply that to pretty much all parents that don’t completely smother their children.

We make mistakes as we grow. We lie. We get hurt. Technology is always Pandora’s box. I’d argue we have better knowledge of our kids now than we ever used to and stats show the world is safer now than it has ever been.

If you live in fear you will form your decisions from a place of fear.

I will argue smartphones or any electronic is not the problem. The problem is lazy parents.

My kids all have had phones since before 10 and they’re all well adjusted but to be clear I monitor their usage and I check in with my kids regularly.

I cannot hold back society or technology at the fear of my kids being left behind. What I can do is help them navigate both as they grow.

I love how quick we are to lay the blame anywhere but parents.
