Its crucial for a nation to have. Its good for citizens to unify around goals and achievements but to much can lead to a big head and losing the ability to accurately self reflect and self asess.

Its fine you just hit your head so many times that you learn to avoid it and hopefully you aren't a slow learner.

Then you get to enjoy watching others hit their head.

Depressingly impressive sales.

Factorio, osrs, rimworld.

I tried playing games like Tony hawk pro skater or racing games, but every time I'd turn I'd lose my balance and almost fall off the treadmill. So anything i could play had to be slow placed or not have a 3d camera.

Reddit's search was google. Now google sucks and reddit thinks it can replace it. No way, reddits search sucks and its quality has significantly declined

Even Bernie parrots the anti immigrant talking points now.

Uh ok mate thanks for your life story. Did computers even exist when you were in the 12th grade?

I fail to see how this is at all relevant to kids in the modern age being kept away from technology. Not having technology access today is completely different to 30 years ago.

Even if we pretend your experience is related id say you were a statical outlier. Most people who are not shown how to use technology will not become adept at using it. Thats why we try and introduce kids to a wide range of things in schooling.

The kids with technology are creating things earlier and earlier, recently a 16 year old made a game that took the record from fortnite for most concurrent players 21million. Growing up with access to technology opens them to an entire world of inspiration and I think if its managed by parents its a powerful tool that I'd never want my kids missing.

Who is this person and why should we care about their opinions on this? Not intending this in a mean way, just if theyre like a behaviour scientist It would change how I read the article.

Artificially restricting your child from having a phone only makes them less prepared for the world. Think of all the kids who grew up without a computer and now they have no idea how they work and can't do basic tasks.

The middleground is a phone locked down with parental controls.

Even ignoring his spicy language, his entire point is completely wrong. The US has a ton of billionaires with assets and influence beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

 

I've been pretty interested lately in where New Zealanders are talking online. This survery has a lot of interesting data and seems to show that vast majority of New Zealanders are on facebook over other platforms. That sucks because I do not and will not ever use facebook and cant view any of the discussion because it requires an account.

The survey seemed to show that NZers are feeling less and less optimisic about the internet with the 2024 data showing only 74% think the positives outweight the negatives compared to 90% in 2019.

I was very relieved to see that the results show NZers really dont like AI and think its very concerning.

I was surprised at the amount of people who never use SMS and I am thinking of getting rid of SMS as well and seeing how that goes.

The trends that looked at what specifically people cared about showed people care about the right things but its super blackpilling to see these numbers show people care about these things but their behavior reflects the complete opposite. Like 60-70% of people putting data privacy as their #2 issue while facebook being the most used site.

 

Trump supporters have gone down the path that I and many others believe is irredeemable. I wanted to ask the Americans here what they think will happen to trump supporters in a post trump America. Do you think there will be an offramp for them if so what do they need to do to make amends?

 

Many times i've been blocked from downloading files from users and i assume they're either personally blocking me or using an auto leeching plugin. But im not sure why, if I had to guess it would be because my download to upload ratio is complete shit cause no one wants any of my files.

I've got 1tb+ of various content in my public files. Music, movies, tv shows, sports events and games.

 

We're bringing back the concord!

 

FTB Inf Evolved 1.7.10 is my favourite pack and I dont really want to go back and play it for the millionth time. So Instead im looking for a similar experience but with some mod updates.

 

Not sure how to take a good screenshot in this game. It always looks blurry even though its in 2k res with no upscaling.

 

Ive got a CSV of music from Spotify and would like an easy way to find and download these playlists. Is there a client that can do this?
