While ads targeting teenagers are a problem, it’s not the biggest problem with social media.

The issue is that algorithms give users a distorted view of the world that isolates them from alternative viewpoints. Social networks breed all kinds of extremism from political to body image. Not to mention the potential bullying that can occur.

It’s not just dangerous teenagers. It’s dangerous for adults.


The “natural way” would be perfectly fine. But, almost all protein is created on factory farms that are unsustainable. Nothing about the way we consume meat is natural.


Sustainability is part of ecology, and it shares the fundamental aspect of all ecology: it is important, very important, priority 1.

But priority 0 remains quality of life. If fungi are not as liked as natural meat, what we need is sustainable meat, not sustainable other.

Quality of life now means beef. When beef will not be available, this crap will make sense.


I love this idea so much and this male dominant crowd is going to underestimate how much women will be into this. My girlfriend and I have tried to leave a phone call on all night just so that we could wake up together when we are apart. I’m looking forward to trying this app with her.


Thats the creepiest thing Ive heard in 2024.

whats wrong with a simple message or phone call in the morning ?


They are clearly extremely young and in new relationship.


That should only happen if those devices are all logged in to the same Apple ID. Do you all have separate Apple accounts?


Exactly. I came to the comments to figure out what this is. I was intrigued, though.


Yes. I completely turned around my life at 42. By being in touch with my true self, I’ve become more happy and successful than I’ve been in my life. Everything is so much better now.


This is a total long shot, but what you’re describing sounds like gender dyphoria.

I’m not saying you have it. But, you should be on the lookout for fundamental ways that you’re not being true to yourself. You may be living your life to meet the expectations of others instead of optimizing for your own happiness.


I’m not surprised that this isn’t supported in mobile Safari.


So, what is actually included? Isn’t everything electronic now?


It's "digital electronic product...found in medical settings", I'd imagine


So how many nurses need an iPhone to exempt Apple? Or would something like a COVID tracking app make it a digital electronic product found in a medical setting?


It's comma soup, there's no way to parse this reliably.


The sole "and" combined with the bill's use of "digital electronic product" outside of section four makes it fairly clear that it's only discussing medical devices. "You have the right to repair digital electronic product's except digital electronic products" doesn't make much sense.


Hard to parse all those commas and conjunctions. Are you sure "digital electronic product" isn't related to medical devices?


A lot of those design decisions can be explained by Apple’s push towards smaller, more waterproof and more durable devices. Like you mention, these choices do make Apple money. But, they also lead to a superior product.


>more durable I disagree. Lithium cells wear out over time, they're a component that needs to be regularly replaced to maintain peak performance much like the tires on a car. A lot of iPhone users put up with this for some reason, lugging around external batteries as their phone ages which defeat the point of the space savings anyways. With my LG V20, I just buy a replacement battery every year and never have anxiety over finding a charger since it lasts all day even with heavy use.

As for waterproofing, the Samsung Galaxy S5 proved that you can have both a removable battery/SD card and maintain waterproofing. Plenty of action cameras have removable batteries too that don't compromise waterproofing.
