I know personally my enjoyment of reading dropped like a rock in my tweens & teens. Too much schoolwork and over analyzing of books in school got me burned out. I made up for it in my late 20s-30s though.
My daughter has been better so far in this regard, but now that she’s in high school I can tell she’s getting closer to mirroring my feelings. She’s switched to Manga/graphic novels instead of long form novels and that’s helped a bit, but we’ll see if that keeps up in the years to come.
The last time Biden even tried to delay sending weapons to Bibi, the republicans threatened to impeach and pass laws to go around him just to get it out there. You’re targeting the wrong group.
Once you set it up, it’s fairly low maintenance. I’ve got one setup at my parents house with a cron job set to auto update blocking lists and software. The hardest part is finding the right combo of lists that block everything you don’t want but allow what you do.
The Pi it’s on also has plenty of power for a vpn server as well so I can hop into their network when they have issues or to do data syncing.
And yeah, I’ve brought it up with security and they’re thinking about network level blocking. They don’t like browser plugins that basically need access to inspect content on every single web page you crawl. Who knows what data might leak.
It’s on YouTube, broadcast tv, and I unfortunately can’t run adblockers at my job. At home I’ve got a pihole that works wonders. It’s amazing how horrible things are when I’m not behind it.
I still don’t know how people manage to fray those things. I used my 2013 for 10 yrs and the cable is still like new. They’re built pretty well. However, I do appreciate that the new ones are just usbc cables that plug into the brick so you can swap the cable if it does start to wear. Or so you can use MagSafe cables on non-apple power supplies.
Why does NK hate the ocean so much? They keep launching rockets at it like it killed their dog or something. I can’t wait for the day the ocean retaliates against them.
By “screen time” the article seems to assume the only thing they’re doing on their screens is social media. I had to check as if it was really just screens for more than 4hrs, that’s an interesting stat I hadn’t heard, but could make some sense. However, that’s not it. So doing things like content creation (drawing, writing, photography) reading or learning, aren’t counted in this study.
It’s a support question. It may cost $2k more for a Mac, but if it’s officially supported, auto patched, remote managed and they can prove it with security tools, force patching and restrict users, use standard well known tools for compliance and security monitoring/administration/etc, they will easily save thousands in corp licensing, training costs and legal costs. That $2k+ really becomes negligible.
MacOS. Systems doesn’t want to support Linux, and the only other option is windows 11. A few of my coworkers have Win11 with WSL and fight it every single day. They’re diehard windows people who have been seriously considering moving to MacOS for their next round of upgrades.
Please let them be directional, pointed down, lower output and on light waves easily filtered out for night sky viewing. Light pollution is getting worse and worse for no real benefit.
Ergonomically, I’m not sure that’s better. Sure they don’t have weight on them that the headset would add, but being able to freely move your head without holding it against a stationary headset would be quite an improvement.
The overwhelming feeling of disappointment and melancholy as you realize you have a finite amount of time left on earth and it’s insufficient for the things you want or need to do.
