  • I disagree that him owning Twitter causes Trump to win. I have not heard any credible source make this claim. This sounds like 4D chess nonsense. He clearly did not want to own Twitter and didn’t know what to do with it either once he did and still had no clue how to use it.

    Whatever responsibility can be placed on Twitter it would be them deplatforming him, allowing voters to forget how insane he is. This occurred prior to his purchase.

    Rather than attempting to lay the blame for trumps second election on platforms, we need to come to terms with accepting that this is the direction that the majority of American’s wanted. This includes those who did not vote, since their apathy allowed Trump to win.

    A plurality of Americans are very very dumb. The entire world knows this. We pretend they just don’t get us, know us, etc but we cannot ignore the reality exposed by these election outcomes.



  • Did a quick check of this in the iOS beta and there is no indication of additional enshitification as everyone fears.

    The first tab is the home tab and the first few rows are from my library. I don’t see any option to hide the random noise that comes after it.

    The second tab is the library itself which has the normal rows of various groups, continue watching, recently released, etc.

    There is also a tab for live tv, on demand and discover.

    I’ll probably only use discover because I use the watch list as one of many ways to feed my wanted lists.

    Currently, mainly just cooking.

    In the future, I’m hoping to leverage it to create video content. I’ve actually been disappointed in its usefulness for writing sci-fi, it tends to want to argue. But based on the surreal images that it can created I am hoping that can be translated into creating 3D scenes that can be used to extract video.










  • I haven’t had a problem.

    iPhone with Screen time and communication limits means I can control how much time they spend in the device and in which apps and I control who they can contact.

    Don’t approve any apps that allow social features.

    Talk to them about the realities of the internet and the wider world.

    All of this has to happen at some point. If you just hand off a phone to an 11 year old or even a 14 year old workout doing any of the above, you’re still going to have issues.

    Much of what is being said about tech is the same as was said about tv and video games. The only studies you’re going to hear about this are the ones that confirm the societal biases.

    If you don’t seek counter opinions of this topic you’re playing into the same fear mongering every generation of parents has had about the new thing.

    Dancing, rock and roll, tv, video games, and now phones. Every time, everyone thinks this time is different and every time it hasn’t been.
