Reminds me of Thunderbirds GO!

Super weird, just bought a Nord Grand and this pops up in a feed that rarely posts music tech stuff

On first viewing it was awesome, then the reality set it after awhile

Ugh that scene TFA derailed it in microseconds. So much stupid hand waving by JJ. That movie started on such a high note, then every minute following the opening act was like watching a bouncy house slowly deflate.

Anyone remember OnLive?

I have perfect pitch meaning I can hear a note and be able to tell you witch note it is and at which octave

There’s got to be a more scholarly name for that trend which has existed long before the invention of the word “enshitification”. What is it?

Except for all the stupid MLP shit, I agree

Southwest is entirely fucked CMV

Open, to let my stupid cat out otherwise he cries.

(I love him)

I would fuck both cars

Also the amount of work that it puts on IT, implementing new tech and not providing/approving the training (which only goes so far)

In some ways yes but it can have the opposite effect too. I know lots of left leaning people who grew up in super religious/conservative families and hate everything about their beliefs.

The super rich are usually highly educated but they live in such a homogenous bubble that they’re opinions on the majority of society should be entirely discounted. They usually have a total lack of empathy for people and vote for politicians with the same attitude. I have met some super rich people who try very hard to go against the grain and not fall into that mindset, but something about the need for protecting your money and lifestyle usually promotes an untrustworthy and skeptical view of everyone in their lives including their own family.

Hmmm

I use it so much for work that I just can’t rely on a typical ad blocker and I can’t justify not paying for it at this point.

This was proven with Covid

This is the kind of headline that editors love to come up with:

“From Bateman to Batman: Christian Bale’s Amazing Journey from childhood star to emotional powerhouse.”

Addiction is defined by repeated behavior despite repeated consequences.

My little cousins stole my aunt’s credit card and spent $10k on digital goods. This wasn’t the first time this happened.

There are legitimate concerns about how these services are shaping the minds of children, constantly poking the reward center of their malleable brains and wiring them a specific way to open pathways to addictive behavior. YouTube channels promoting desperate consumerism by featuring kids opening endless “presents” for an hour as an example.

I will admit that as someone who is a bit more tech savvy than the average person this stuff is pretty alarming. I’m planning to become a parent soon and it seems like keeping their usage in check will be an endless game of whack a mole, and that screen/game/content addiction is now the default outcome because they’re all built to be so predatory and addictive by nature.

As someone who is contemplating becoming a parent soon, what’s a good solution to managing screen time? I’m an IT guy so managing their devices will be standardized, but ethically I’m a bit worried about going too far with it. I really want my kids to grow up being creative and a bit bored sometimes so they have to make their own fun, but I also want them to game a bit like when I was a kid. It’s going to take quite a bit of work to restrict access to certain services at certain times of day, plus I’m considering absolutely no social media until they’re in high school but I’m worried that it’ll make them rebel and get desperate
