Parent Full thread

dijit·

"is this device for you, or a child" is one of the first options when setting up an iphone.

I haven't set up an Android in a while, but, I doubt it's massively different.

Yeah but most parents devices are for them, they just let their kid use it too.

Ah, I guess it's impossible to have a quick enable kids mode then.

We should just give up and give random individuals access to everyone's camera roll.. no other way.

Is there a term for agreeing with someone's stance but disagreeing with the person because they're so insufferable and sarcastic in the way they present the argument?

“I don’t want to be seen agreeing with someone who combats obvious bad faith arguments with sarcasm - please think of me as being better than that, even though we would end up in a pissing contest about nuance or a digression away from the main point”.

Bit of a mouthful though.

Yes, it is called tone policing.

I was under the impression that tone policing was using to attack the tone because you disagreed with the argument

It is probably technically possible, but as almost twenty years hasn't been enough to implement this feature in either of the big mobile systems, it's obviously a huge practical challenge for Apple and Google.

Yeah, obviously.

Greatest minds of our generation couldn’t possibly invent fast profile switching.

Lost technology.

Windows phone had this exact feature. Obviously it didn't survive the duopoly of iOS and Android, but the feature was alive and well for many years before the whole OS was killed.

it's very simpler, i recently got an android tablet for my child and it would take a lot of effort to miss all the stuff about setting it up for a child
