How can children be introduced to digital technology and the internet in a playful way? At what age is this appropriate? And how can this be done without exposing children to all the negative aspects?

  • I agree. Kids love to solve problems. I remember trying to fix problems on my computer before even having an internet connection. That's how I became a programmer.

  • Me too. I had the internet at 9. You can't even imagine the things I've searched for. Also, being 9 I was interested in girls of my age, so I probably put my family on some police list.

    I turned out well anyway, I use Arch Linux.

    • Denmark to raise retirement age to highest in Europe

  • Yes, they're going to die sooner anyway. Forced retirement at 60 for politicians would be perfect.

  • Well if we want to get technical its roots are in the Indo-European which comes from the Iranian plateau

    • French police dismantle widespread paedophilia network hidden on Telegram

  • I think being a priest lets you be among children for a long time, without their parents present. So I think it's very tempting for a pedophile to go down that career.

    • Pocket shutting down

    Jump

  • Good news. I couldn't stand that feature baked in Firefox.

    Jump

  • Finally! Good news. One less thing to remove every time I install Firefox.

  • You don't talk to enough 40+ years old hahah

    • Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.

    Jump

  • Finally! I couldn't wait for Pocket to shut down. One useless icon less in my Firefox.

    Jump

  • Yeah, me too. I hate that useless Pocket icon in the toolbar. It's the first thing I disable on every Firefox installation.

    Glad it's gone for good.

    • Celsius and Metric users of Lemmy, is there any cute tips or sayings that help generalize a measurement?

  • Your temperature scale is clearly from a northern country :P

    • 22-26 is pleasant in Italy
    • 26-30 is warmish
    • 30-35 is warm
    • 36+ sweating just waking around

    Jump

  • In Italy people loves start up companies because they think they all make apps. And they write is as "Start apps"

    • Google's WebP

    Jump

  • lol there's a specific AVI format based on JPEG, but other file formats use different algorithms

    Jump

  • I'm not sure that's a JPEG artifact. It looks more like a video compression artifact (since the image is probably taken from a video).

  • Or even the Canadian flag, to make it even more fun for the US people lol

    • Speak American

    Jump

  • That's for another reason we clearly know

  • It makes a bit of sense because Duolingo teaches you the American variety of English and Brazilian.

    But still... why?!

    • Speak American

    Jump

  • I usually use UK English to have a sane date formatting (the US format is completely retarded), but you have a good idea. I'll use Ireland from now on.

    • Speak American

    Jump

  • See? This is why we shouldn't use flags to represent languages.

    Go to Brazil, and I bet they use the Brazilian flag to represent the language they speak, not the Portuguese one.

    Go to Ireland, and you'll see they use the Irish flag to represent the English language.

    In Switzerland, what flag should they use to represent Ladin?

    And what about Canada? They speak two official languages.

    The correct way to display languages is just their name or they ISO code. Using flags for languages is fundamentally wrong.

  • British English is the OG English. They should always use that flag.
