Or if they were intelligent at all.

Is this legally enforceable or is it nonsense via the White House site instead of Truth Social?

And having the state do it is better?

The state mandates laws that say we cannot sell guns to kids. Is that a bad idea? Would you rather let the parents deal with that?

I'd like parents to parent and develop a relationship with their kids. Comparing the internet to guns is a stretch.

My point was that having the state regulate stuff is not always a bad idea.

The problem for many parents is that all the other kids have it. It's not always easy to develop a relationship with your kid to convince them that they don't need to conform and have friends.

So I can imagine that many parent would be relieved if access to social media was slightly more complicated, such that maybe it would be more normal to not have access to social media.

We've encountered this with things like Minecraft and Roblox and had conversations and suggested alternatives to it. It hasn't proven to be an issue, but I'm holding out hope that these platforms continue to collapse as our kids get older.

Yes, because children deserve to simultaneously not be under constant surveillance by their parents but still be protected from bad actors. Hence we should collectively, as a society, protect them.

We should always talk to humans.

I don't think we should consider gross incompetence on the part of the US to be posturing.

I'm only giving a neutral perspective. The moment the world stops relying on oil, Iran will lose its biggest leverage in this situation. Other sources of energy are going to be pushed even more.

There is more that goes through Hormuz than just oil- like fertilizer for example. Just been able to charge a fee for crossing the Hormuz is a strategic goal for Iran. This is an outcome of the war. Previously Iran did not know how weak US is - but now they figured out.

It would be interesting to see if this war will be a net negative for Israel. If Iran emerges with more financial resources out of the war you can bet they will fund Hamas and Hezbollah more than before the war.

Fertilizer exports are a problem but trucks are keeping it moving at a somewhat higher cost.

I was wondering what the solution to this was.

From a distance, a railroad here would be great. Pay Ukraine to keep the drones away from it. I've been to the region, I understand that a sandy desert is a tough place to keep a rail line open though.

This isn't happening anytime soon.

Millions of tons of chemicals, fertilizer, and metals used to pass through the strait, not just oil.

There's still a ton of value in the historical recommendations on last.fm's site. What its future looks like, I'm not sure. I'd love to know who is going to operate it now that it is independent.

I'd recommend ListenBrainz for folks interested in similar tracking and some recommendations with clearer ownership.

For my own historical interests, I have a Navidrome plugin writing to my own API and surface charts across time periods by querying the postgres database it writes to.

But it is safe to trust MechaHitler?

Probably about as safe as trusting the people editing Wikipedia that also are attending Wikipedia Zionist editing conferences I imagine.

This doesn't account for the fact that review is still a bottleneck, engineers understand much less of the code they're shipping and there'll likely be tech debt they'll have to unwind in the future.

The Republican Party is a big proponent of the freedom to force their speech on everyone — willing audience or not.
