You’re the one reducing human beings to their diseases. That’s beyond just being a dick. It’s dehumanizing. But apparently that’s a-okay on this supposed leftist platform.

a bunch of strangers that are essentially walking disease vectors

What came first? Anxiety or this totally healthy attitude?

I don’t know about addictiveness but sugar isn’t as harmful as alcohol, for example. Don’t get me wrong - in my opinion the negative effects of sugar aren’t taken seriously enough but they are far less pronounced and further down the road, while you can easily destroy your whole life in a year of alcoholism.

Good default, I’m of the same opinion, in general. We should only restrict entry age if simple education isn’t enough - as can be seen by teen suicide rates rising in parallel with the spread of social media.

Sugar isn’t restricted but alcohol and tobacco are. Why is that? Because there’s a difference in addictiveness and possible harm done.

No, bullying isn’t the only danger. Addiction is another and that’s just as bad here as for any other feed-based system. Legal addictive substances also have an entry age of at least 16, usually higher.

Traditional media aren’t associated with bullying and suicide risk. Social media are.

Teens have always bullied, so it’s hardly a surprise or preventable on social media. It implies that the victim cannot escape from it though and at least leave it at school. So moving entry age to a level, bullying isn’t as bad is a good idea in my book.

Ha, sure sounds like it. But you had to wait also before there were only answering machines. Hotlines have always been awful.

It’s so stupid too. All they offer to help with can be easily looked up online. I never waste my time calling some dreaded hotline unless it’s a special case.

I wouldn’t push it. Wait for half an hour if you’re still hungry.

Sounds like affectionate ruffling of hair to me. Nothing too uncommon?

I just want to turn the thing on and play Factorio or Minecraft, not figure out if my 4080 will run on it etc.

Funny that you chose two games that run natively on Linux.

Filming, duh.

the fact that they’re microscopic might be an issue

Why? All that means is you may already have one without knowing it.

Standby pointlessly draws power. I switch off all devices that don’t run on battery for that reason. But I’m not exactly Apple’s target audience anyway since I also consider the price before buying stuff.

This article focuses to much on the glasses/face recognition tech while the actual problem is the database with of personal information and its public accessibility.

whatever overpriced gaming laptop comes working out of the box.

Not an Apple one, for sure.

They also know their target audience has plenty of people who gobble up every bad design decision and even defend it online years later.
