- Comment on Denmark's government aims to ban access to social media for children under 15 2 days ago:
And this is yet another cycle of censorship and bans which all they do is undermine the rights of teens and children along with other issues.
Like all other countries pushing it, they choose an arbitrary number - persuading the majority into false belief that this was the best option. Infantilising & essentially barring all rights which a teen holds is not justice - it’s indoctrination, setting a narrative that their independent thinking is flawed.
Unlike the other mandates, this one has the capability to reduce it to 13 year olds. This is the age where such ban should essentially stop. Of course, this comes to question if we need age bans at all. It is known that children (<13 years) are not fully developed, their critical thinking and independent thinking is virtually non-existent. Bans in this case might do some good, but even then effects are not clearly known.
Censorship, that is discriminatory; infantilises young people; and is fuelled by control over the young independent thinking people, shouldn’t exist. It’s been proven that the design is destined to fail, skills for circumventing censorship for an average teen is essentially a necessity.
In essence, teenagers will be the most impacted by this, trust being an important thing will be seen as single sided.
- Comment on Microsoft Can't Keep EU Data Safe From US Authorities 4 days ago:
it’s illegal to collect on children
The only reason this exists is to shut up the majority of people, so it seems that they actually care. They aren’t trying to save the children, they are trying to save their own asses.
Protecting the children should come in part with protection of everyone.

I agree, it’s not a trick however. It’s a deliberate and strategic method of persuasion - a type of call-to-action; or manipulation.
The case of autonomous driving should technically result in safer and more efficient road environment. That is the result of a fully automated system - a user will not be able to misuse or excessively degrade the machine. The same comparison can be applied to manual vs auto transmission where the advantages are quite clear.
Such situation is attributed to the fact that most of it is exacerbated and facts are manipulated. Statistical evidence and comparison of pets killed per 100 vehicles is also missing - because emotions is all it takes for masses to listen.

They just can’t admit that they’re using ai for the server side scripting, seeing how it doesn’t work out.

So is z ai an ai which uses more critical thinking patterns to make it better?

It’s not a dead set value. The word you can do is keep charging it way past 100%
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 2 weeks ago:
99% of the smart stuff that exist in the market don’t fundamentally need internet connectivity. A smart bed (lol) is one of them. If the corporate cared about the good, they would’ve went with locally managed devices.

They? We treat it as a toy. All of us. And it’s all because the system is designed that way. Don’t go blaming the young adults, the teens; and the children for something you might also be doing.
Narcissism won’t get you anywhere - our internet is capitalised by corporations and you’re blaming that are trying to do something about it. To raise some awareness.

- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 4 weeks ago:
There always seems to be some kind of corruption amongst the governing class. And even if the government is technically guided by the people, this dynamic gets ultimately manipulated to further their authoritarian tyranny.

Agreed, it is tiring to type about:profiles each time, and then it auto corrects it to about:profiling instead.
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 4 weeks ago:
Big gov and big corp are essentially the same thing. And while the people jump ship to be at the mercy of the “better side”, the elites are sharing a cocktail in secret.
The scale still remains, however one side tilted more so than the other.
- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 5 weeks ago:
There is a good video that explains this kind of phenomenon. First it starts with a political 1D left-right line then ends with a political tesseract.
Important thing is, it is better off to treat it as a spectrum rather than a graph. Because, as implied - complexity.

before they’re able to think for themselves.
Kind of naive to think they don’t think for themselves. Why do you think governments want to ban minors from using most common services, to restrict them and banish all their rights?
All it matters is that the bourgeois can more easily craft a perfect populace using “official” channels.
- Comment on Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs 5 weeks ago:
At this point it’s stupid to make sense of how this shit law does good to children and society. All the government is doing is disrespecting children and teens into absolute control - minors are essentially a tool, nothing more.

Once I was doubting the need for higher levels of mathematics. Now as an engineer I realize the utility of this knowledge.
What made my change my mind? Well it’s definitely not my intelligence nor my age, it’s the practical application of that theory which got me here. Reading in between the lines can only happen if you like what you’re doing.

It is a solution specifically designed for music. Library representation is much more predictable and it’s interface feels very efficient and clean.
It essentially does what you expect from a music streaming service.

Agreed, putting something repulsive is the key here. This kind of strategy is used for nail biters as well.
- Comment on Australia’s under 16s social media ban could extend to Reddit, Twitch, Kick, Roblox, Steam, GitHub, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Discord and even dating apps 1 month ago:
And there we have it, a manipulative government that grins at the fact that we all let this oppression to go through.
This is all a result of our naivety, we let our age discrimination to prosper, and now we’re going to be left with big brother watching our every move.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Bans of any sort will and always will be acts of censorship and oppression no matter what age a participant is. It is purely discriminatory and inconsiderate with no actual effort given on the well-being or safety of targeted individuals.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Agreed, we are basically being played by the elites to agree to their authoritarian control.
It always starts with discrimination. In this case it is age that is weaponised against us, with no respect to anyone.
Society is already deep in ageism so no wonder they are using that as a pivoting point - infantilizing our people and ultimately stripping all their rights. Ageism cannot continue.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
For an ageist egocentric asshole you sure are acting worse than those under 16s you’re describing.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 1 month ago:
so what you’re saying is that this is ageism. And we are infantilizing individuals irrespective of their experience and actual understanding.

Also the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 1 month ago:
Ageism, it is always implied that adults are the ones right - because what adult would accept a child to disprove their logic?
It’s also one of those myths which people forget after a year; and even if its encountered again, it is treated as insignificant.

For a fact, until it isn’t for a fact. Unfortunately things may change like how majority of physics was disproven in the early 1900
