A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm torn on this topic because on the one hand there's enough evidence for the harm it does, but one thing these finger wagging experts seem to ignore is that if you keep kids isolated from the tools then you're leaving them behind.

I was probably an Internet addict as a kid with dial up and a CRT monitor, but I don't regret it given how well it prepared me for the tech-dominated present.

I think (as with everything) not doing any of the extremes is the way to go.

Nice. Hi! And you seem interested in some of the same stuff. selfhosted, linux, random stuff... not that that's extraordinary here on Lemmy. But maybe you're me from the future... Or I'm your evil twin with a mustache...

What, you completely ignore the possibility you're talking to you in another reality?

I don’t have a mustache, so maybe?
