Google's feature don't discourage people from using Reddit. Reddit's shitty UI keep me from using it. I WAS an OldReddit viewer but they did away with that option as well. News site like USA Today are such an ad laden crap fests that it is no wonder people use any option to NOT have to view it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Gurgle, they suck and we all know it, but they are a convenient scapegoat. I get 2 papers at my house, the local Yuma Sun which is like a High School paper, and the SF Chronicle. Reporting is not what it used to be, both are opinionated crap most of the time. The best stuff for facts is always AP.

Just wait a bit and there will be a glut of smart phones available as everyone under the age of 16 gets booted of social media and the net in general.

wow the world you live in seems sooo um exciting

The people that made things got tired of the BS and moved on. The people that TALK about making things are going as strong as ever...

I've been at fark since Drew was begging for beer. It's a hole these days sadly echoing echoing echoing...

"They were one of the early zealot converts and, well, it didn't work out very well for them long term." ---------This very much

Their cell phones will rot a generation, but they've got an AI horror bot to really screw up the kids. Will it help them with their suicide note ? or will it help plan the mostly justified revenge killings of the school council ? How about instead of the billion dollar AI bot we pay the teacher a few bucks and hire 2 of the mom's as class aids ? I liked Woz, mainly because he kept his fat ass out of the media and didn't make stupid grandstanding gestures.

In the so-called fire-storm(2017) in the California Bay Area, I was out of power for 8 days. Several houses on my street were on an isolated grid and it blew 3 times in a week. Once while the PG&E guy was still on the pole. It was kind of like camping for a couple of days then it began to suck. Luckily we didn't have medical machines or such. We had a huge BBQ the 2nd day because the freezers were thawing in the extreme heat. I live in Yuma Az now and looking back 104 wasn't that bad :)

Denied for not being human enough...Because those kids are way better in an institution than in a home with imperfect humans. I almost gave up once during the adoption process, but my wife held the line and I am so glad. Our daughter is the best thing in our lives.

THIS THIS THIS. Bands used to make money in several ways...That isn't so anymore. The record labels FSCK'd everyone when they signed blanket agreements with the online services. Amazon/Temu killed the merch marked with Chinese knockoffs. All there is left is the show and the stuff they sell there, and bands are getting squeezed out there by fee's and tax's from everywhere. Corporations will own everything eventually.

That's very funny in a sad way. I volunteer at the Humane Society and we have a long questionnaire and review before we allow someone to adopt a dog. I adopted a child myself and the process was long, detailed and painful. Yet somehow any breeding couple can have a kid.

As you obviously fall into the proactive responsible parent I can't do anything but respect the choices you make for your kids. If more parents were like that there would not be this issue. I genuinely wish you the best.

It is all or nothing. We can't seem to do middle ground, or reasonable. There is plenty of good to be had online and used in the correct manner, but that would require parents to be RESPONSIBLE rather than abdicate to TV or whatever else is handy.

Our AI which is nothing like a brain or neural network, but we're going to tell you they are even though no one knows how a brain functions. I begin to think these guys are drinking the kool-aid.

So if someone posts your image to an Instagram account without your permission Meta suddenly owns your likeness and the ability to derive images from it ?
What if you are in media and your image is your income ? Does Meta get to remake the images of "Models" for ads on their platform ?
Will you find your own image in some ad ?

I wonder if I could use on of my old Kindle displays ? Not that I have or am going to have a steam machine but the concept is really cool. I use my old Gal.Tab3 with their desktop emu now to handle messenger and email when I am gaming.
