It is very uncharitable, because you are cherry-picking things, I cant not write the complexity of life in a post. Your making up stuff that I havent stated.

And poeple who shouldn't have kids do have kids, that is reality. And even if you ave parents that are not the ideal parent, do you think kids should suffer for that. Because in the real world we do laws that are only ment to protect people from stuff that is harmful.

So you are advokating that alcohol should not have legal age limit, because parents are responsible for their kids? Seatbelts why have laws for that, drugs, hey because you as a person and kid, parent should know it's bad.

Why even have school be mandatory, parents are responsible to teach their kids how to read and write (because that has worked great right).

this is how you argue.

The solution is simple but there's not enough political motivation to do anything, there is more incentive to do bare minimum. regulate marketing on the internet, enact laws that prohibits intrusive marketing ad platforms.

And of they can't, because they can't. Every parent is not the ideal parent and will never be, heck there's parents who are retarded (in the literal sense).

But lets say it's the average tech illiterate parent, who thinks computers are a gaming machine for kids. Imagine the amount of social engineering and how the marketing departments of companies trying to make kids addicted to their platform. The industries are pouring trillions of dollars in marketing, are you confident that regular parents have a chance of competing with them?

i'm in no way of supporting this because it's done for other nefarious reason, just commenting on the troupe that parents is responsible for their own kids. We can say that all day, but the reality is that they don't know what impact it has on their kids mental health and how damaging short term dopamine addiction is for their children. Society is still responsible to help parents navigate healthy behavior for their children.

Tbh if children was the concern of this law, then you would allow parents to sue tiktok and other platforms that have made their children addicted to the platform. You should also be able to sue influencers for promoting stuff to children (they know the age of their userbase).

Still parenting is hard, especially when you are competing with phds in behavioral science or psychologists that help these platforms design their addiction mechanism.

What is considered not cheaping out on psu? because the price range can be 50-100 euro more depending on the model for the same effect. I usually buy the bronze standard and that the components are made in japan or korea.

Their job is to sell tools to fix stuff, did you even read the ars article, it's just clickbait. Lenovo failed because they didn't provide repairability score for their laptop models. nothing to do with if it's actual repairable or not.

I've repaired Lenovo before, aftermarket items all available, change screens, keyboard, battery, simple stuff only though, no issues, everything is designed so it's easy to change.

I would not say the same about HP or DELL, shit enterprise laptops, and the consumer ones are worse.

No but why should I, why is this the most important problem that should consume my time and energy, while there are 1000 of other global problems. Mass starvation, war, poverty, racism, anti trans, Eco terrorism, getting fucked by politicians. What is so bad in new York for trans people, is it forbidden to be trans, I actually don't know because I don't live there, but it seems like it has a healthy community?

What the fuck is a trans person and a cis person?

[–] slowcakes@programming.dev 0 points 5 months ago

Okej but why do you want to define a human person or whatever, in this scenario? I don't care about cis/trans or anything, I don't identify as cis or man or woman. But grouping people based on things they have no choice in and then telling them because you are born like this, it's your responsibility to do whatever I ask of you, sounds weird to me. People are dealing with their own issues as people who identify as trans are.
