  • Your entire take is idiotic as best.

    As a society we should strive for making life easier for everyone, but especially those who are having trouble with technology due to lack of time or resources.

    The solution isn't to go online and start spouting off about "how you should've considered that you'll need to learn a dozen new technologies just to raise your kid", but to provide actually actionable, simplified enough solutions that people can utilise.

    Your take is especially idiotic when you put it in perspective of ALL OUR FUCKING PRIVACY RIGHTS BEING VIOLATED because parents are already struggling to keep their kids safe. And you just shrug your shoulders and tell others to parent better? What kind of a fuckwit are you?

  • The fact that you think this shows that you've never even attempted to set up parental control...

    And sure, let's have parents who work 10-12 hours just so the family survives, do YET ANOTHER chore, which they need to constantly manage.

    How about instead of that, big tech can get their shit together and provide proper parental controls? Including router manufacturers. It's minimal effort from them, makes life easier for millions of parents.

  • Hard disagree. Politicians represent the people, their finances - including investments - should be transparent and immediately available.

    That is the only way to ensure corruption is reduced.

  • Dude, pick a lane.

    On one hand you're claiming RISC is bad because performance. On the other hand you're saying the difference is important due to cybersecurity.

    On the first point I've already proven you wrong. And the second point.... RISC is actually safer for a number of reasons than CISC.

    So are you for, or against RISC? Because both topics you picked support RISC pretty much unilaterally.

    Also might I add that right now the only truly viable open future architecture is RISC-V, which is getting to a point where we can blend together MCUs and CPUs based purely on available extra hardware on silicon. Meaning same tooling will be able to compile the same code regardless if you want to run it on a sensor array that lasts a year on a single coin cell, or a powerful processing node (okay okay arguably RISC-V isn't completely there for truly high performance computing, but there's already cheap SoCs with Pi3 comparable performance, and the market is just gearing up for better ones. Oh and if your goal is AI, pretty solid 16TOPS in a low power package).

  • The issue is that unfiltered access to the internet is dangerous to kids - and at a certain age, kids do want to discover that side without any parental interference.

    Limiting what they can access is not an unhealthy approach. It's protective, especially nowadays when certain companies (looking at you, Roblox and Meta) will shelter paedos because it's a financially viable thing to do, repercussions and hurt children be damned.

    And there HAS to be a balance between adults having unfettered access to the entirety of the internet, without having to take a selfie every time they want to have a wank or approach any remotely adult topic. It literally takes a single penstroke from the government to categorise a mundane topic "adult" and start listing people - because ID-ing yourself in a "trust us, your data is safe" (except ignore all the data breaches that have already happened!) environment will TOTALLY not lead to issues. I mean what could go wrong when you start collecting the IDs of trans kids reaching out for help because of abuse, gay/bi/lesbian/etc. kids similarly seeking help, suicidal people seeking help, and the list goes on? What problem could there be from that data leaking, right?

    This bullshit WILL get reversed the moment a prominent politician's weird porn browsing habits leak, and I do hope that happens sooner than later. But even when that happens, we need a SANE option to protect children - and that's by giving the tools to parents, parents whom are mostly overloaded with work, and can't afford to spend hours a day not interacting with their children but reviewing what they do on the internet.

    Yes, being a better parent to your child IS part of that, but so is setting up virtual boundaries.

  • I mean, I'm all for forcing big tech to provide better parental control tools. Because right now they provide the bare minimum that often locks you out of control... and it's a hassle to set up, maintain and manage.

    Take e.g. Apple. To do any parental control you need an Apple account. Reasonable, to this point. But! To actually have any control, you need Apple devices. It isn't enough to log in through a browser, because you can't properly set rules, limits, block sites or apps, monitor communications, no, you need an iPhone or iPad or a Mac. You can't approve access requests if your child wants to go to a non-allowlisted website for e.g. school work.

    Oh and if we're at allowlists and blocklists... no platform at the moment offers ANY kind of automated lists the parents can enable. They need to manually hunt things down and add them. So you either have your kid constantly pinging you to access resources, or you're constantly reviewing what they're visiting, searching for, etc., to block inappropriate content. And with how many porn websites there are out there that are specifically CLANDESTINE porn sites that at first appear generic kids games but if you go the right way, you find porn, is staggering.

    Oh and one more thing. When are we punishing Google, Meta, etc., for allowing intentionally child-targeted adult themed ads and recommendations? Or did we forget how YouTube allowed incredibly disturbing content in ads and recommendations FOR KIDS (as in, literally injected into playlists meant for kids)?

    TIL: There are about 4 to 30 million porn sites on the net at any given time. Adult websites generally make up 4 to 12% of all existing websites.

  • You most likely do not want to learn about these.

    Back in the late 90s, early 2000s, with the spread of the internet and cheap digital camcorders, a lot of amateurs started doing their own niche porn. These were content that most porn studios (who, up to this point, dominated the market, as they were the only ones able to front the cost of equipment, editing, and physical media creation) simply wouldn't take on, because the content was illegal in certain countries - not talking about truly illegal shit like bestiality or CSAM, but many countries, including e.g. the UK, where anything that is, and I quote verbatim, "is grossly offensive, disgusting, or otherwise of an obscene character". Now, you can see how such laws can be applied subjectively, and how one could argue that, say, gay porn, or anal, or gangbangs, fall under the umbrella of this terminology.

    Anyway, the point is, most studios stuck to their core content of generic porn, while thousands of websites popped up focusing on a niche, or ran by the actor/actress themselves.

    Then around 2012-2014, payment card processors began cracking down on porn, due to pressure from certain religious groups... And of course they targeted the small fish, these independent creators, not the big ones like PornHub etc. (btw neato little fact: the top, what, 7-10 porn sites today are all owned by the same company, just like how most dating apps are all owned by a single company too), where a lot of creators went, as they provided the entire hosting, marketing and payment processing service stack, so people just needed to upload the videos and watch the money roll in.

    Then we had a slew of services trying to cash in on the adult content creation craze triggered by the pandemic - that's where OnlyFans, JustForFans and the other similar sites became super popular - and now there's a constant ebb and flow from and to these platforms. Many are joining to try and find stardom, many are leaving due to the abusive practices and are running their own website, some are spinning up services like these but with lower fees, the list goes on.

    However one thing most of these sites don't take on, is what one would consider "extreme" porn. Let that be fringe fetishes, niche specifics, or truly extreme BDSM. And even with said ebb and flow of users from the hub style sites, the majority of independent porn sites aims to cater for these niche tastes. So unless you wish for a list of sites where people are drinking piss, playing with shit, or where guys are getting their balls, or girls are getting their nipples nailed to boards... No, you probably don't want to hear about them.

  • You can't have discourse when one of the parties is dead set on the "my way or the highway" kind of approach to it.

    Try to talk to a tankie and you'll soon run into the wall of dismissal and ultimately blocking. To them, everything that doesn't line up with their ass-backwards, illogical idea of the world is Western propaganda, and western propaganda "cannot be allowed to fester" therefore your argument is invalid and your presence is unwanted.

  • That's... precisely how the brain works.

    We're not talking language specifics here. We're talking about core principles of software engineering - principles that can be applied easily to other aspects of life. We're talking about patterns, concepts, best practices.

    Things that one needs to utilise daily even with AI generated code - that is, unless you're checking in whatever the AI writes with zero review.

  • Not remembering an interface is easily alleviated.

    Forgetting core architectural principles - which are the cornerstone of good architecture - cannot be fixed that easily.

    Micro details, specifics, are what the docs are for. You don't need to remember the specifics as long as you have the understanding of what the thing does.

    Macro details - appropriate information and event pipelines, SOLID, KISS, etc., are what architecture is about. You can write the best micro-scope code if the end result on a macro level is spaghetti that would feed Rome for a year.

  • Not remembering specifics of a technology, and completely forgetting the base building blocks - the same blocks that you should be using for AI generated code too, BECAUSE YOU NEED TO FUCKING REVIEW IT - is not the same.

    I'm an Android engineer by trade. I might not be able to give you the exact interface definition of a BroadcastReceiver, or explain in technical terms the core differences between a TextureView and a SurfaceView (that's what the documentation is for!), but for sure as hell can tell you if your architecture is good or not, or if the quality of the code you wrote is shite.
