Technology@lemmy.world•Australia’s teen social media ban is a flop. But there’s no joy in ‘I told you so’English
2·9 days agoA blind spot i know i have is that i grew up without social media and the internet as it exists now, when i was a teen the internet was a place to spend some time playing goofy games on newgrounds or neopets, maybe downloading some movies or music from Limewire or Kazaaar.
I have no idea how i would have gone growing up with this insidiously tailored and hyper addictive environment, honestly it feels like giving every kid their first hit of heroin in high school and sending them on their way.So i get why kids might be both ‘thank you’ and ‘fuck you’ in equal measure, but just like heroin there will be plenty that never recover, and it all could just be resolved by reigning in the social media companies.
I have so many questions…
What happens when they get waterlogged from rain, mouldy and warped?
Did they ever have issues with termites?
What is the black abyss below him, is he on a stack of wood that is casting a shadow or has the ground texture.png not loaded in correctly?
Being the early 1900’s, did workers smoking while stacking wood regularly cause fires?

0·10 days agoI think you may be gettting US information interference, our 240VAC grid is well enough to charge even from a standard 10A GPO (standard socket outlet in your house).
Things are a little different in the USA where the grid is 120VAC and they would be getting literally half the speed we do, and then they would want a larger outlet connection or hardwired dedicated charger which can deliver T2 charging speeds.

I hate to be the person thats is all like “as a parent…”, however - to me having to leave early, come in late or take a day off to deal with kids being sick, appointments or just daycare/school drop off/pickup is worse.
The premise of this feels like “smokers get a break so why shouldnt we?”. But realistically my work is still there, i am stressed about the thing i havent done that should/needed to be done that day, the amount of work i now have to catch up on and the extra stress of trying to get the ‘non-work’ things done as quickly as possible so i can be back at work to get through my workload.
And ontop of that, you likely had to cut your work time short because your kid is sick or hurt and you are also stressed about that, its not like you jump in your car and start whistling to the radio heading home early.So yes, i think a non-parent should have just as much flexibility as a parent, but thats a conversation to have with your boss and not some guilt you try saddle on parents when they cant be at their workplace for their full X-hours per day. I would never make a coworker feel guilty because they left half an hour early a couple days per week to go like practice for their sport or hobby or something, so afford the same respect for someone who has ‘child commitments’ instead of your ‘leisure commitments’ because they arent the ones saying you cant take time off too.
