EE warns parents against giving children under 11 a smartphone
  • Agree with your points on having a pocked PC to hack with, the issue here is then with mobile and their OS makers which mindbogglingly have omitted to design a working and hardly hackable "children account mode", since what is damaging here is not what they can fiddle within their devices, nor certainly what they can read from wikipedia, but rather the unfiltered and unaccountable exposure to a profiling oriented social media storm which even adults fatigue to cope with.

    I'm sure it isn't unheard of OSes having a hardware locked managed kiosk mode, because that is what smartphones basically need.

  • A 12-year-old girl is accused of smothering her 8-year-old cousin over an iPhone
  • 12 yrs old? over an iphone?

    I get the enshitted society weight in all that, but what the actual fuck her parents raised her to?
    I'm so sad for her, and for her cousin too of course, but she's going to die a thousand times in her life trying to cope with what she has done

  • Why in 2024 do people still believe in religion? (serious)
  • Humans psyche is a meaning inference recursive engine, semiotically I mean, following Charles Sanders Peirce's Theory of Signs, it generates meaning and thus needs a story to explain it, or simply to tell itself.

    The story doesn't need to hold sound logic or any objectivity true to reality, it only needs to convey the meaning that it generated so that the mind can believe it more than questioning its validity.

    Long story short, humans really likes being told and believing stories, and often they are the ones telling the story right to themselves.

  • Let me pull this out of my ass
  • A girl I've dated for a while worked as photographer for live events reportage, clocking even thousand shots for event and saving at least a hundred of them for the job, and she told me rather often she was being later contacted by the client, or someone of his entourage, or even some other person from the public, months past the event and asking if she could send them e.g. "that picture where I'm standing with that friend of mine wearing a white shirt...", and all that of course without even being able to tell her the actual date of the event.

  • EU chat control law proposes scanning your messages — even encrypted ones
  • Fucking ridiculous. If you want to prevent CSAM spreading across Europe do this instead:

    • Ban churches, cults and other forms of self indulgent mass-schizophenia which promote the letargy of the mind and the seclusion, especially when it comes with the baggage of a self-validating autonomus and indipendent legal sysyem (yes I'm winking at you vatican), as a moral virtues.

  • Yeah but doesn't hubzilla (https://hubzilla.org/page/info/discover) applies a privacy layer to how its content it is distributed? The issue then lies also in how the social network gets implemented in function of its purpose, in hubzilla vs lemmy case for instance is a public board vs a social network

  • Neutrinos: The inscrutable “ghost particles” driving scientists crazy
  • Scientist: Made up a particle

    Technically all particles are "made up", since the effects of the energy they carry can also be expressed as a waves too and altogether, indeed their nature in our current model is dual, see the utterly interesting double slit experiment.
