I am a living breathing example of a kid who got a phone at 17, I had a bit of a honeymoon period with it, had lots of fun and distraction, but eventually got used to it and actually use it for organising my schoolwork to do list, check the weather and my daily schedule.
I do tend to use social media on it, but only on the bus, since that’s usually when I don’t have anything else to do. I self limit my screen time pretty well, usually only 30 mins to an hour total per day, and I’ve always had all my devices without parental control systems, since my parents never knew how to set them up.
Also, you saying it’s never about algorithms designed to siphon your attention is inherently incorrect of a statement. They literally have hundreds of data metrics to effectively lock you into staring at the screen mindlessly, although parenting also has a part to play, since you also should teach your child on how to control their attention and harness it to actually do something fulfilling, though many parents don’t know how to.
Yeah, their “innovative AI operating system architecture” doesn’t seem very innovative now.
I would wager that turning it into a clock that uses text to speech to tell the time when you tap the touchpad and the laser projector to see it visually, would be the only solution where it doesn’t overheat instantly.
Australia already has this, but it is extremely easy to circumvent, just use a different VPN.
I wonder if you get banned if you use the TOR Reddit page
If I recall correctly, wasn’t this already one of Microsoft’s ideas?
For me it corrects ‘that’ to ‘thst’ all the time, I wish the was some way to whitelist and blacklist words

I’ve got pretty small hands but I am really comfortable with my 6.4 inch Oppo Reno Z, it has all the reachability I need, it isn’t too heavy or too light and it’s got a large enough display for me.
I used to use a galaxy S4, which has a 5 inch display. I find the galaxy quite cramped and not very usable, but the AMOLED was just as good as the Reno Z, and even had better PPI.
Something that would be pretty frustrating would be if phones get any larger, because I find that the sizes currently are pretty much perfect for everyone, although there should be more options when it comes to smaller phones.
It also showed up on my android 11 Reno z
If I had a nickel for every time I reported a pervy corporation to the ACCC, I’d have two nickels– which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
I tried to add tons more spacing and say ftfy but it didn’t let me so I said fuck it, let’s just delete it lol
Is this a wholly unnecessary amount of blackspace around my mediocre meme?
yes.
am I complaining?
yes.
is the complaint necessary?
yEs!
FTFY
I’m only 17, why do I feel like an unc now 😭

Seeming that I’m getting increasingly pissed off by Spotify giving 5 or more ads without 30 minute adless times and for every 5th song rather than every 8th or 10th, I’m gonna have even more stress from the doubling of all google ads.
At least ublock origin lite does its job pretty well on YouTube, so I won’t need to worry until google eventually kills that too.
