Fucking hell. Where's the incentive for responsible disclosure, if that's the sort of (non) response you get?

My own belief is that all social media is a cancer, and to be avoided entirely. I'm able to do that for myself, but I'm also realistic about the chances of keeping my kids away from it. So, I focus my energy on trying to equip them with the mental skills to neutralise the toxic aspects of social media.
For my 9yo, that means teaching her to employ natural skepticism and critical thinking. I'm also trying to drum into her the understanding that social media is inherently untrustworthy and unreliable, and exists solely for the benefit of the corporations that run it.
That said, I've blocked Tik Tok on my home network, much to the older kids' chagrin. They have to use mobile data if they want to access that shit on their phones.
The casting bit is the missing piece for me.
I've built a RasPi with Kodi for our caravan, to use Plex and stream our free-to-air TV here in Australia (using Musk's space innernets). I just miss being able to cast from my phone, for the occasional thing I can't do with a Kodi add-on.
Shit like this is why I intend to keep my (currently) 9yo as far away from social media as I can, for as long as I can. This fucking terrifies me, as it should any parent.
In my mind, rich means not having to work again. A couple million doesn’t even get close, sadly.
Well, at least where I live, phones are banned in schools. So that’s a good start.
This is odd advice, when you consider many kids in the same age group probably have access to (or own) a tablet device of some sort. The only difference with a smartphone is the ability to call and text, and portability while staying connected (assuming many tablets aren't 4G/5G capable).
Or am I missing something here?
Nearly 30 years ago, I worked for a tiny li'l anti-virus software company that got acquired by one of the big boys, and everyone's performance-based options they were holding were suddenly worth a lot. Being hungry for career growth at the time, I'd left the company and forfeited those options. Less than 6 months later, they announced the sale of the company.
My options woulda been worth a few million at the time, maybe double that in today's money. Importantly, it would've set me up with a nice house, car, etc, without any debt, in my early 20s.
Not rich, but certainly comfortable.
I paid a subscription fee for the option
I'm starting to really hate this timeline. Might be time to pick another door.
RAID5 and unlimited downloads on my 1Gbps fibre. All I backup is my library metadata itself, using a 2N+C strategy.
Honestly, this headline is outrage reporting at its finest.
It sounds to me like this guy was simply paraphrasing (in an earnings call) his desire to encourage people to stay in the office for a more complete day. He's backing that up by alleviating a lot of the reasons for people to spend time away from the office: restaurant, gym, and even a childcare centre with doctors and nurses.
It's not like he's locking the doors until 5pm each day.
