The actual one, yeah.

Imagine not showing up to your job for 43 days and even the governor is demanding that you do something, but you’re just like “nah” and nothing happens to you and you keep your job.

#nokings?

“Asking nicely” vs violence is a false dilemma.

There was a point to be made here but if you’re not going to treat the material seriously and just make a straw man out of your opposing view, don’t bother.

Just the essentials…

If anything, Biden Derangement Syndrome was absolutely a thing. MAGAts were so incredibly panicked about Biden when he was an entirely milquetoast, middle-of-the road Democrat. Do even they argue that Trump is just another Republican? I can’t see how anyone could.

I don’t - totally out of the loop here. Is there a way for me to catch up?

LOL and just like that we’re back in the 80s with you calling me a fucking nerd. Some of us never grew up.

Some of us also don’t read and think well. GenX grew up and spawned the whole tech industry with nothing but the sparse, shitty computer education you speak of. Therefore, exactly like I said: we clearly didn’t need school to teach us how to use technology. I never said we were all amazing at it in the 80s. Now fuck off.

I am a developer and I agree with you.

A blacklist isn’t a good approach on its own - you could never predict all the possible apps you might need to block. But it is a perfectly reasonable failsafe for “content rating” and would probably even provide some valuable app-level feedback for the platform to use to check up on apps that are gaming their rating.

A whitelist approach is a reasonable overall approach and to some extent I guess you can implement this by allowing any content rating but requiring approval to install an app. At least I think you could do it this way. Like I said the settings are a bloody mess and hard to use so I’m only ever 80% sure of what’s actually happening.

“Ya salam, fine umma. Want to kick it down at the Islamist scene? The Imam be spinnin mad Quran verses and the arabesque light show is sick af. They burn Israeli flags when the beat drops.”

Yeah, but can we just real quick murder the fuck who did this first.

Even as an individual parent I can’t stand the iOS parental controls. They are a mess and awful to deal with. I don’t think they even offer enterprise-type management that teachers can handle on behalf of 100 kids at once. Apple products are a terrible choice for kids and/or the classroom IMO.

I knew the school laptops were fucked up when my kids started choosing to spend their limited screentime on them instead of iPads or the Switch or the TV.
