South Australia is proposing a law to ban kids under 14 from social media. How would it work? in c/[email protected]

Yes. And SA is proposing a law against kids using online services.

Yet the conversion is about how the tech companies will handle it. Not about what society in general will do.

People only focus on the tech solution of this. We don't make ciggys or booze impossible for kids to injest.

Socialy its not responsible to let your kids drink or smoke. Even behind ose doors.

I think a large part of the tech change is society itself. It needs to become taboo to let kids use the devices and services. Along with understanding the risks (addiction to tech, isolation, depression, being influenced etc). Funily enough the risks aren't only for children it's for all of us.

Linux on iMac? (jlai.lu)
 

Question is title.

In the past I've installed many distros on many older PCs, but never used linux properly (although slowly moving over to avoid win11). I've also had a heap of history with windows installs.

A family member has been testing Mint on an old laptop and is going well. This is a trial run before I update their iMac laptop (not sure what one but no longer supposed by OS updates).

I've never booted to an iMac BIOS or installed over top of apple.

  • Is this going to be like installing over windows?
  • What issues can I expect?
  • Should I consider another distro?

Is plasma big screen really an option? Id like to install it on a desktop to act as a android tv. Launch Stremio, YT and maybe one or two other apps/websites. Easy big tile navigation with remote (flirc).

It's in dev since 2020. The images hosted on the site are bit for any of my hardware. It says theres a Debian package. Installed that though LMDE but it was horrible. Somone mentioned Kububtu can install it with apt, but its not listed. Think I'll give up.

It was night and day for me. I've found vivanvce better than ridalin. I'm technically only prescribed rodalin atm though. But keep forgetting to take the afternoon dose. Who could see that coming. 😅

Nothing is more frustrating than finding a note and wondering what it means or if you did it.

You have the right to disconnect from work after hours from today. But what does that mean in practice? in c/[email protected]

Just like "may be require to work outside of Ferguson hours". That employers have abused for ages.

Agree with other post re ugly jack. But why does SA have no stars? Better that they all have them or all don't, I vote don't.

This is what I've unknowingly been doing. All my open source apps are in Linux. The transition was pretty smooth.

Am I the only one that thinks we should have dedicated buttons for copy/paste on keyboards? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

Most people would use dedicated single copy/paste buttons more than page-up/down or home/end.

What YouTube channels post content similar to TV shows? (jlai.lu)
 

I'm sure there are channels that run similar to Public TV. They may post a regular show, or a variety of shows.

Maybe web-series is the word to use. They must be of decent quality and updated within the last 6 months.

I'm know not looking for documentaries, essay videos, pranks, reviews or vlogs.

And not 1-2 people going around doing whatever, or a group of people that sit with a static backdrop chatting or pulling up graphics.

I'm looking for funny game shows, dating shows, reality tv, sit coms, drama, variety shows, comedy or anything that would be similar to flicking through over the air TV (but not jsut shows copied from TV).

Outlook Calander Sync Issues (jlai.lu)
 

I've got a few accounts on my phone, and the calanders are set up to sync.

When I look in the outlook app I can see the outlook events as expected.

When I use the Samsung Calender app (preferred), the Google Calander app, or any other Calander apps the outlook Calander has issues.

Some events appear, others don't, some seem to disappear etc. I think it's to do with android and the syncing of the Calander, but I'm not sure what.

I've used the reset account button in the outlook app, and deleted and re-added the account.

Voyager seems to constantly use sensor (jlai.lu)
 

Not sure what's going on here. But it's the only app listed that is constantly using a sensor.

Change local instance (jlai.lu)
 

Is it possible to set the local button to show another instance?

Ideally when signed in but I'd also be happy to swap to a guest/anonymous account.

It saves having to make many instance logins. And I think it's voyager that allows this.

Good work and cheers
