> The only reasonable solution I've heard to the phone problem is individual parents getting involved and active in monitoring and limiting their children screen time, and unfortunately, involved parenting is not something that can be legislated into existence.

This! You don’t need laws for this, the solution starts with you. Then more people like you, then you’re the majority and the schools ban phones just like they did in that one school in Ireland recently.

Parenting is hard, and just like in the 90s, it’s easier to blame the technology than assume responsibility.

The headline makes it seem like that, but here’s a taste from the article itself:

> Since 2010, rates of self-harm episodes have increased for adolescents in the Anglosphere countries, especially for girls

Also, I would not expect male and female rates to be the same if it were to do with phones. The two sexes have very different experiences online, just as they do in real life.

Anyone read Puzo's "The Last Don"? It's a very thinly veiled statement about his experience with the studio over this. Of course he doesn't say that's what it's about, but boy is it obvious.

I'm glad you asked :D

Having all notifications go through the Macs native Notifications is great, because now I have only a single place to ignore. I effectively set Notifications to "off" by setting a schedule of 4:00am until 3:59am. When I want to check notifications (which is almost never) I simply enable Notifications temporarily with a shortcut on the touchbar.

The only thing that remains is non-native notifications like Java's "Update now or the world ends!". Window focus stealing is completely unacceptable, and I suspect the reason Apple does nothing to fix it is to coerse you into using full screen, which I think is grooming you for their locked down iOS-like world for the Mac.

As a European, I have to ask the obvious question: What?

People are being charged for having solar panels? I understand there needs to be a fee for hooking up to the grid etc., but I think here you get that and more back by feeding excess energy to it.

Could residence of those states get off the grid and instead install many large batteries?

I don't know a lot about this stuff :)

Google actually did use to have this functionality. They almost certainly removed it because it hurts profits (an advertising company that allows it's targets to define content?).

I've been using this extension for a good while now, and it's probably saved me a stroke or two.

Yup, Inoreader.

I think so, yes.

There's no reason for him not to consider Firefox, since installing extensions reliably led him to become exasperated with Brave relying on backend servers, which then led himto the decision to stop using Brave. So since most if not all of the extensions he's looking for are very likely either ported to Firefox, or have (often better) equivalents, why not switch?

I'm not trying to be pedantic, just using the opportunity to promote switching to Firefox, because it's great :) and there are less bumps on the road than people make out.

When I switched back to Firefox after quantum hit, I actually discovered I didn't even need a few of the extensions I needed in Chrome.

Put Nginx in front.
