  Note, you can still use the “Video Games, Consoles & Accessories” and “Online Games & Puzzles” general categories or their subcategories to block ads from video games, online games, and downloadable games if you believe these types of ads are unsuitable for your users.

  Literally no story here at all. They’re moving the block from one section to another. Google implements OpenRTB which has a field in requests for blocking arbitrary IAB categories

  They were copy pasting most of the boilerplate before

  The future is even more bleak. Touch screens only, no desktops. Only tablets everywhere. Everything on the cloud, everything locked down. Sideloading is banned, jailbreaking illegal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finland restricts use of mobile phones during school day⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, fix schools, too. But phones are their own specific problem and we should ban smartphones for kids under 16. They are bad for kids

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finland restricts use of mobile phones during school day⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not just give them feature phones? Things that you can communicate with but which don’t have social media on them? If you need to access a website, just do it at home on a laptop or something. It’s important for kids to be able to experience being a kid before we thrust a digital life on them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finland restricts use of mobile phones during school day⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finland restricts use of mobile phones during school day⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Good. Ban them for under 16s outside of school too

  Lol, obviously it’s terrible that business are pulling out of the US, and in the next few months we will begin to learn what the 1970s were like, but I’m just glad I already have mine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Good thing I got mine already!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OMG no please don’t call me.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Even with SMS, idk why people expect an immediate response. My dad texts me and if I don’t respond in an hour, he starts spamming me. I don’t think there is a single piece of technology out there where people should expect the recipient to be constantly reachable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OMG no please don’t call me.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know why people think this is true. Just because you message me on slack doesn’t mean I’m going to see or respond to it immediately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is Docker?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No because docker is not actually a VM

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is Docker?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Docker is not a virtual machine, it’s a fancy wrapper around chroot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To whom it may concern⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Postal Employee: “May I help you?”

  Kramer: “Yeah, I’d like to cancel my mail.”

  Postal Employee: “Certainly. How long would you like us to hold it?”

  Kramer: “Oh, no, no. I don’t think you get me. I want out, permanently.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Philosophy moment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We should ban phones for kids under 16 OUTSIDE of school

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You are wrong. North America is a continent, and South America is a continent. Of all the countries on these two continents, one is colloquially referred to as “America” by everyone who isn’t an internet weirdo. Absolutely nobody else in the western hemisphere refers to themselves as “America” or “Americans”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was a vim user for years and I disagree. At a certain point, vim with plugins cannot compare to visual studio or clion

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft’s development tools are first in class IMO, but not much else

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think Linux lacks a good Foss alternative to visual studio, unless you count vscode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use kodi as a DLNA server for my smart tv
