we could also say: username checks out!

Why? What does ChatGPT add to the conversation here? Asking the question directly in the subreddit would have encouraged the same discussion.

I guess it has some tabloid-like value. which if counts as value, tells a lot about the other party.

same. but that ship has sailed, forever.

thanks, I can laugh at it shamelessly

I need that nothing to PDF converter! oh, it's just grok? nevermind..

Here in Germany parties actively ran on the promise of raising and fixing the pension levels in an already unsustainable system. Alongside other gifts to certain voter bases. The one left out (I assume partially because they are not able to vote): The youth.

so they were lying, except to the youth, because to them they didn't have a message. that's a positive thing to me.

But you are right that they might influence smaller changes.

part of my worries is this, but rather how will this affect all of them, when sociopathic people will start targeting them with even more brainwashing/reeducation content.

To take one of your examples i could see that for something like the smartphone ban. But would that be so bad?

what do you mean? the banning the school-level banning of it? the problem is not smartphones themselves, but what they can do.
playing games and scrolling social media on lessons. taking pictures of your peers against their will, like when they get humiliated. using the infra blaster to fuck with classroom equipment. all of these were happening in my class, just a few years ago. unless your solution is mandating school-issued spyware on every phone, which I don't support, the only solution is to ban them in one way or another. possibly only on lessons. and then somehow solve the problem of stolen phones, when someone knowingly took away a different phone at the end of lesson.

I don't think it needs a tutorial, it's automatic. but some advice:

• don't delete any partitions, shrink them if you need space. who knows if windows needs it to boot
• either have 2 ESP partitions (requires motherboard support), or use a different disk for linux. if windows and linux share an ESP, windows updates can somehow fuck up the linux boot chain, which is wonderful because everything is placed in per-OS directories. you don't have to order from amazon
• disable fast startup in windows (control panel, energy settings, what does the power button do menu), because it's hibernation every time
• disable hibernation, or handle with care. you shouldn't boot linux while windows is hibernated: changes the ESP and windows filesystems might haven't been written completely, also windows will do unpredictable things if these get changed while it's hibernated. linux kernel updates and efibootmgr changes could also make windows to drop its hibernated state and not load it
• if you use multiple disks, consider creating a linux filesystem there. ext4, btrfs, whatever, former is fine if you don't know the difference. ntfs filesystems can be accessed well (except symbolic links?), but it's slow, cpu-heavy because of an implementation detail that makes it maintainable

I think android would be a better base to build on. don't look at their messy kernel, but the userspace. rip out the brainded, user-hostile limitations that google added in recent years, or reimplement them better, and it's pretty good.

sure continue pmos development, and plasma mobile and other components, but don't just ditch out a system that has worked well for so many time and been developed by lots of people by a company who has poured in lots of money

please label it NSFL, or NSFW, or whatever, next time. thanks!

isn't facebook in its entirety also enshittified?

sharing the twitter post on bluesky

brainrot people have been skipping past such prompts since long before tiktok, and complaining loudly if they can't

especially that there's been easy set and forget filters for that kind of games for ages

What I would add that got pointed out to me today is, that if we have a general election every 5 years, someone who turns 18 just after an election potentially may not be able to vote for the first time untill they almost 23.

I agree that's unfortunate, the first vote I was eligible for was at 21. It's not ideal. I think a better solution would be to have more (meaningful) votes (not necessarily with shorther terms)

Again, my opinion is that being able to vote for the first time between 16-20 sounds a lot better than voting for the first time between 18-22.

I'm not sure. I would rather just increase the age limit to 20, and implement a fix to have more times you can vote.

When i voted my first time at 18 i wasn't engaged in either the process or the candidates, it took another couple years, so maybe by the time they're 18-20 they will take it seriously and be more engaged rather then by the time i was 22-24.

I had the same experience at 18, and it wasn't even a decade ago. this is a reason I think we should increase the age limit, if we touch it at all.

I don't agree. I think it's a pretty glaring large difference that we don't ban anyone from voting for life, but until they at least start to get mature, with an age limit that is the same across white young man, white young woman and black young people.

Honestly I have no idea whatsoever how did you conclude that I'm racist. I really can't help but think that you have already decided that I and everything I think is bad.

Yes, this is indeed an argument that shouldn't just be ignored. And honestly this should simply never be the case, regardless of age.

when will we ban personalized advertising?

or any kinds of advertising that is more than just showing that your product/service is there.

but unfortunately, with deceptive videos all over the internet, that wouldn't help at all.

However I'd argue that even children are already to some degree getting confronted with what's going on in the world.

that's right, but I think because of a lack of substantial amount of experiences (before being exposed to media), they have much less of a chance at figuring out what's real and what isn't.
heck I only started using facebook near the end of elementary school. and then when I got to be voting age, I had almost no clue about the running political parties, how truthful they are and what is their past. I just slightly missed being able to vote the time before that, and I know that I would have voted for a liar with a corrupt past, because of facebook ads of their party I assume. "oh look, they are apologizing and they regret it! they look so honest!"

nowadays? they just post a tiktok video that they'll give money to all below 20 if they are elected, and they get a bunch of votes. and the election office will do nothing. or they promise to lower the graduation requirements. or to make it unlawul to ban smartphone usage at school lessons. or anything that sounds good to them but everybody else knows is a bad idea.
they could have even cooperated with another party to make sure this one doesn't get elected, but takes votes away from another one.
all because they promised something on tiktok, or really any platform that auto plays videos when scrolling by.

deceptive social (and traditional) media is exactly why we can't allow this. and if you allow them to vote, you just made it so that now we can't even keep them away legally from that social media, because if you do that they won't vote for you anymore, and the next party will just undo your laws.

And you are right that even 30 and 40 year olds are affected by these issues, but i don't see how that would be an argument against it.

I think those adults had decades of life experiences that could have helped them recognize that they are being deceived and used. childrens won't have any of that. They'll have no chance of recognizing that, unless someone they trust tells them and they want to believe it.

it would also be interesting to read a study that compares the effects of video effects, animations and vibrant nice colors in videos on different age groups.

I mean....the youth in general don't usually come out for elections,

its just a tiktok short away. it'll also be much more efficient in telling them who to vote for than government tv channels were at any point

Plus...you're talking about 9 year olds? Really? It's absurd to make the argument that the group of youths a mere 1-2 years before the 18 year old adulthood designation gaining voting rights would be the same as 9 year old children gaining the right to vote.

obviously not. they were talking about taxpayers. everyone is a taxpayer when buying something in the shop. yes I see their edit now.

They just have to ask Google and Meta to do it for them.

I would say you can protect yourself against that too. no need to store sensitive info on those silos. google is more complicated with how deep access those fuckers have to virtually all phones, but if you are slightly determined that can be solved too.

I agree on all other points
