Why link the fork of a fork in your original response?

Why NPMplus and not the default NPM?

There is a new story every week in Steve Gibson’s “Security Now” podcast about why you should virtually never open ports. And if you do, you’d better IP restrict. Even, or especially, in commercial products. Cisco has a new CVSS 10.0 every other week just about

Depends on the country. .tv and .io don’t, though I know .io is shifting to disallow it

RIP T Swift

He admits to the affairs, but denies they had any relation to Epstein. He also denies having any relation or awareness to any of Epstein’s sex crimes. Idk if he’s telling the truth, or if he is doing a partial admission to make it seem as though he is not lying

Doing all the coding for you is not one of them.

yet. If AI can do anything well, I think it should be writing code, given the formulaic nature of code. We are NOT there yet. But it will one day, no doubt.

That’s why zero trust itself is so important. The only way it can be guaranteed is to have an open standard that is zero trust, so nobody is able to abuse it and the lay person doesn’t have to trust anyone. Not to mention if it is implemented correctly, there is no data to even trust them with, given there was zero knowledge of the end user. It would require a governing body to be competent enough to implement it, but I like to dream big

It seems like totally valid news to me. It’s a form of investigative journalism on the reality of being online as a teenage girl. While some of us know how bad it is, plenty of people don’t.

Banning social media for under 16 is not equal to uploading IDs. Social media is literally proven to be harmful for developing brains. The same reason we banned cigarettes and alcohol. There are privacy friendly solutions to banning minors from social media

The disparities existed before social media, social media is just magnifying them. So it is more than just social media as an issue

I was a teen with social media. Not using it is totally valid advice. But simply saying “don’t use it” is like telling a smoker “don’t smoke”

The financial incentive would be open and standard document format to ease development and provide reliability

It seems like the ideal solution that can be implemented if we take the time to do it right.

I’m also young. I had smart phones ans social media in highschool. The “disadvantage” no longer exists if parents make a coordonated effort to get their kids off smart phones. You don’t need everyone, just a large enough group. I highly recommend The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt

So, he just needs a cell phone? Seems like they don’t need a smart phone. Regular cell phones are still an option

How many generations grew up without smart phones? Basically all of them. Why did it suddenly change that they are now “socially isolated” because they don’t have smart phones?

It’s actually proven that children and teens benefit from quality over quantity of their friendships. They don’t need to have surface level relationships with everyone they meet. They just need a few really good friends they interact with in real life.

Couldn’t that be said about any law that only applies to children? Under age drinking, smoking, etc. Why have laws when the parents should just stop them from doing it in the first place

It is by nature very different from television. Television is purely entertainment, and is one sided. It’s also only available when you are at home in front of a TV.

Social media is two way, you engage with it directly. You are now comparing yourself to the perceived lives of those around you. For most adults, this is fine. It had proven to have a very negative impact on developing children/teens, especially young girls. Not to mention it is now always with you, always in your pocket. You have access to it 24/7, which is nothing like TV.

TV has been around for a century and has not shown massive negative consequences on mental health. Social media and smart phones has been around for ~15 years and has ruined a generation. It is definitely not just the television replacement

I think it’s unrealistic also. I think a better solution is simply to ban endless scrolling. Require them to use pages is enforceable, and remove a proven addicting aspect to social media.
