For every distro that’s immutable and using flat packs you’ve got 2 distros that rail against this. There’s plenty of Linux people who can’t do with immutability so there’ll be plenty of distributions that don’t use these concepts.
Personally, for a computer for your non-techie family member I think these concepts rock.
Screen Time on iOS is proper road kill. It’s not clear, it’s slow to update and it does not obey screen time restrictions.
And Apple know, of course they do. But there isn’t any profit in letting anyone use your phone less.
Our experience was that iPhone parental controls are broken beyond belief. They basically don’t work. Searching online I’m not the only one with that problem. Maybe it’s better on Android.
I’ve put through kids through secondary and have two more to go. I universally regret giving them a smartphone at year 7. For the first one we fought valiantly - we said no; she and one other girl in her whole year didn’t have a smart phone. Within 6 months it became clear that she was missing out on a lot of events by not having a phone. We caved in and bought one of those neutered android phones meant for younger people - it sucked and basically didn’t work. After 9 months we got her a used iPhone.
It was also the wrong thing to do. Social media immediately starts shaping them and we still have restrictions on which networks they can go on. She can pry Instagram out of my cold dead hands; that site is liquid poison for a young girl.
Ok, can you help me understand what you don’t understand in the sentence I wrote then?
Insulation helps maintain a difference in temperature between outside and inside. Right?
It doesn’t matter whether than temperature differential is “warmer inside” or “colder inside”. Right?
If you let infrared light into a house it will heat up. Right?
If you aim to keep the inside cool, letting light into the house works against you. Right?
Given that the planet is warming up, many well-insulated houses get too hot in the summer. Right?
I don’t understand how we can both understand how insulation works, yet you can’t understand the sentence I wrote. Maybe you missed my sarcasm, that’s the only thing I can imagine could have gone wrong.
But the content has already been absorbed. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have all of it sucked up (many would argue illegally) and stored as a corpus for them to iterate onto. It’s not like they go out to touch all the web every time they train a new version of their model.
I’ve found OpenAI’s result-quality significantly better than anything I find on page 1 of search results, whether Google or DuckDuckGo.
For anything other than a very specific, singular term, I use ChatGPT almost exclusively.
PayPal’s passkey implementation really is the worst of all worlds.
It’s dieselgate for processors.
