Where I live they are dismissed on their own as young as 8, and so long as they have a safe way home then a couple hours alone isn't going to hurt. There are enough electronic distractions at home now that they won't turn to delinquency.

15 is bonkers. There should be no need to keep your teenager on-leash for that long.

It's counter-culture and I'm here for it. I had a fun convo with my daughter about why rail cars are so frequently tagged. More fascinating are the hidden pieces in tunnels and the like, where only few people will ever see it.

Are you trying to conflate wildlife tracking and monitoring with this police state dragnet? If so that's a wild take. I'm pretty sure modern wildlife tracking practices are not what's at stake here.

All that karma farmed with paywall bypass posts. Kinda greasy.

Unless I'm missing something, that photo is of the new hoist installation.

It used to be out-of-work firefighters doing it for a paycheque. Now I guess they can collect without leaving the couch.

The idea is you shouldn't have to have any sort of computer on your person to participate in public life. If a proper eat-in restaurant can't maintain a paper menu then it's an indication of the level of service that's sure to follow.

I have a feeling we're already there.

You're reading into it too much. It's more likely they needed a comical backstory, and Flagpole Sitta was playing on the radio.

So, Pied Piper?

It's the normies that are missing out.

Don't forget the guy they hired to rappel off the tower while demonstrating it on a laptop. Why not, right?

Considering Meta lives and dies by the White House, where abuse and manipulation have become SOP, I'm not sure the CCP stacks up as the boogeyman anymore.

I have 256GB of FLAC in my car, and it's great.

They could have it taken out of print if it was as fictional and damaging as some say. I see new copies are still for sale so it can't be that.

Have you read Sarah Wynn-Williams' book? The whole org is rotten.

But you'll still need to pull out your phone to figure out what it's trying to tell you when it morphs into a pair of lips.

I didn't say all platforms.

Yet apple has been trying to tell us all along that it's not just a consumption device, that you can achieve real work with one.

And of course, android studio is available on three platforms. Apple could choose to do the same.

It's very comforting when your cabbie knows exactly where you want to go with one prompt, versus being with some uber droid who can't look past their phone.

Less clear? Check your tariffs.

The world can't support the number of bodies on it already, and you're proposing adding mindless meatbags that still need feeding and their waste managed? Are you going to accept an amazon package that's had giraffe poop sprayed on it while picking, or change your meat-robot's diaper? I didn't think so.

The average person not interested in space won't know the difference between leo and geo in the first place.

Unless it's from the library. I've had to keep an eraser handy to undo some rando's bizarre markups.

> real, normal big global company.

Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net?

This person seems to be intentionally making themselves dumb by choosing not to think.

Predators have been using roblox since its inception, but I don't think they are doing age verification because of that. They're looking to expand into more adult experiences and, of all horrible ideas, dating.

If you're living the passphrase life then spaces make them easier to type.

Not having the space looks and feels wrong, and I think the post office would agree. I have a feeling the trend toward space omission was due to fields formatted for US zips.

Maybe it should've been an app after all.
