They'll have to pay for the cellular connection themselves because I'm not gonna enter my wifi password into the tv lol. Been using a pc hooked up to the screen for ages. Screw "smart tv" features, slow and inconvenient as hell.

This is not the tally that the article is talking about though
Maybe it also counts transactions from the Steam Market? I also found my TotalSpend hard to believe, but it's also not like I've traded hundreds of dollars worth of items in the market.
The description of the support page notes that these values are used to determine some sort of limited user account status. It might not be intended to keep an accurate tally. I wouldn't be surprised if these values are only available due to gdpr and accuracy of the description was not a priority when they set it up. I'm implying that the employee who wrote the description might not have understood the value precisely enough.
But who knows. I could just be huffing copium about my game expenses 😅
I run CalyxOS on my FP4 which also works great.
Wow that defamation lawsuit against Karl Jobst is spicy. I'm pretty sure I saw that video a long long time ago. 350k is a giant fine, I wonder if YouTube pays that well. This is what you get for purposely misrepresenting something for a better story I guess.
I'm not against patents in general but looking at the list of specific insanity-induced hallucinations being patented this whole thing is ridiculous. This is on the level of being able to patent giving your restaurant guests cutlery. How is any designer supposed to keep track of which specific micro events are patented like this.
The article is about protecting the integrity of Wikipedia from admins with ulterior motives. Regardless of the correctness of the article, "going after Wikipedia to take it down" does not describe the topic in the slightest. Why does this have so many upvotes? Are any of you even reading the linked article?
If Mario is 100x more expensive than it needs to be, and there are millions of games that are just as good for a dime, you don't buy Mario.
Facebook and YouTube weren't as good at recommending things back then. It's not the internet as a whole that's the problem, it's what social media has become. Addiction skinner boxes. It's not ok for kids to grow up using that.
This is solving a systematic problem. The problem of social media companies having free reign to make kids addicted. This will give french kids more freedom to think and do actual things with their life.
A good reason for banning smartphones is social media addiction. Not internet searching. Its currently normal for 12 year olds to be on their phone 6-12 hours a day. And because of peer pressure parents can't do anything about it. A kid without a phone is isolated because everything happens in chat and social media.
There are more thorough solutions like age gating social media but a blanket school ban is a good start. If you still don't believe me you should really read up on what smartphones do to a kid. Addiction, lack of self control, no attention span, nearsightedness, the list goes on. Based on leaked research by TikTok itself btw.
In China they don't destroy their own kids because they already know the effects. TikTok shows different stuff there (educational content and propaganda), and kids are limited to 40m(!!!) per day. Everyone is going to deal with scores of fucked up kids while they don't.

By all means, use the block feature to remove stressors if it helps.
For me personally, unless someone is actively haranguing me in DMs I'd rather not block them. Sure people can place comments that get me riled up. Or sometimes they seem downright hostile. Maybe they're having a bad day, you can't say. But it goes both ways, if I'm tired or having a bad day I could be misinterpreting people's comments and blocking them for no reason.
If a comment is so bad/rude it becomes rule-breaking I'd rather report it and have a moderator tell them off, it might be a valuable lesson for them or if they are repeat offenders the mods can dish out appropriate punishment. This keeps the instance and community in question healthy.
