The linked comment seems to imply that you have no kids of your own, and generally identify with a child still. That's fine, but not a good look for this kind of conversation.

Children should not have easy access to addictive drugs, digital or pharmaceutical. That exposure does not build agency, it does the opposite. You cannot expect a child to be able to resist the combined effort of a multi-trillion dollar industry toward building maximally addictive things.

Your kid has that private device because you gave it to them.

Or just enforce United States v. Paramount Pictures.

Have real ad blocking in the browser.

(which would mitigate a lot of security risks by itself. I also note that people seem to do fine with desktop OSes, despite their outdated security models)

Also, a working foss ecosystem.

Indents align perfectly in any font. Alignment in columns (like what go fmt likes) is problematic.

I have a 9-yo. We experimented with time limits &c, but that just leads to endless discussions on the size and applicability if thise limits.

Now he has a mostly-airgapped Thinkpad (with music, kiwix, music-experimantation stuff, programming things, and onlyoffice), and doesn't know the ipad's passcode.

The laptop has nftables set up so that only an ssh connection to my laptop works, which I use to update it, add content, and occasionally unblock it, when necessary.

if only the other side did not have their own trajectory

The issues people cite all primarily affect consumer desktops. I don't think they see decades of lifetime there; it's a dying market, so they milk it.

html5 does not even allow any other values in <meta charset=>. I think you need to use a different doctype to get what the screenshot shows.

Which happens to fall on November 28th, yes.

Yes, and I would be glad to see such a shift.

Shakespeare is still being read, I think.

That's why I say it would've worked better for me, yes.

Twelve nights of Christmas. Would also work better for me, calendar-wise :)

> massive difference in deaths per capita to just about every other large developed country [1]

The US is mid-way down that list, below most of Eastern Europe. Sweden, with notably lax mask/distancing approach, is better than EU average.

> That's a lie.

None of your links address the OP's claim. You'd need to consider < 60 mortality, not total. Replies like yours are not trust-building.

This was strictly in reply to the direct parent commenter, who mentioned fish_history and extolled fzf's shell integrations. I often use fzf for mini-TUIs, or pipe to it.

The OP list is significantly cheapened by the various ls alternatives.

fish fuzzy matches on Ctrl+R, and on Tab, without fzf.

The list includes jq. I’d frankly love to never have a problem that jq solves, but, well, here we are.

ripgrep is something I have installed, but use only via text editor integrations. fzf is nice for building ad-hoc TUIs. fd may make sense (I’m told it’s faster than find), but I already know enough find.

The “next gen ls” family of tools in the article is baffling.

How do you price this? How many flops per watt for freedom?

These are completely different, unrelated concerns.

Traditional print syndication provides articles to smaller publications, who re-contextualize them in other material. Like your RSS reader does.

I note that you haven’t addressed your weirdest claim — that the default presentation of most feed readers isn’t.

I've patched miniflux with a different sorting algorithm that is less preferential to frequent posters. It did change my experience for the better (though my particular patch is likely not to everyone's taste).

It is a bit strange that RSS readers do not compete on that, and are, generally, not flexible in that respect.

Social media targets engagement, which is not a good target. Even a pure chronological sort is better.

> I never encountered it in Google Reader

It was the default view in Google Reader, the "All Items" view.

A mix of all feeds, ordered chronologically, is the default view in tt-rss, miniflux, inoreader, feedly, netnewswire, and all RSS readers I've ever seen.

It's also what "syndication" means.

There’s also https://gitlab.com/simple-nixos-mailserver/nixos-mailserver , if you prefer to write not quite as much Nix yourself.

MS365 (outlook, hotmail) bounced my emails for a while. Not “classified as spam”, but outright rejected, so you can’t even ask the person to un-spam you, add to contact list, &c.

Luckily, very few people I know use those, and Gmail worked fine. MS365 also works now; I’m not sure what changed.

> How’s it frustrating?

I was saying that this part of your previous comment:

> just powerful enough I wouldn’t worry about general tasks being frustrating.

is not true. From experience with pi 5. It was not powerful enough to avoid frustrating an 8-yo. Too many educational resources use the web, and modern browsers are what they are. Maybe this 500+, with an nvme drive, is better, but I wouldn't bet on it.

> how’s it stopping people who prefer the n100 route?

It isn't stopping anyone from anything. This was my advice in case you somehow acquire "a kid between 10-18ish". Don't use overpriced ultra-niche devices unless you have a very clear scenario.

The Pi x00s are targeted at a certain nostalgic parent demographic, but do not, in my limited experience, impress, excite, or interest actual kids. The magic in c64 or apple ii was not in its form factor.

> The negativity about a $200 Linux computer just baffles me. Nobody’s forcing it on you.

You were saying that it's not overpriced for what it is. I said that you can get more performant devices cheaper. That's not negativity, that's conversation. You can say you still like this device for other reasons. Or say "hmm, maybe". Or not say anything at all.

Also, I'm very positive on sub-200 Linux computers, and own many. Including multiple Pis (main series boards and 400 are gathering dust, Zeros are cool as an airplay receiver and laser cutter operator), and several n100 boxes.

It is frustrating though. And more expensive than an n100 box + keyboard, which is both more powerful, and has better software support.

Your picture of a ebook is perfectly clear.

It works fine. You click a link, and the file downloads. I have no idea what you mean. Discord?..

They also have a youtube in there.

> Now imagine trying to start a software business in Iran, the stifling effect is way higher than a measly percentage point.

Depriving Iranians of legal access to Western tools opens the market to locals. I suspect that the market is big enough to build a business.

It'difficult to assess gdp impact in this particular area. It's not really dependent on blockable imports.
