Yep, it really seems that all that money goes into coehersion so everyone uses their proprietary format. It is hard to actually come across high quality video releases that are in AV1 - even if you prefer the loyalty free nature of AV1.
But in terms of hardware, AV1 is getting more popular. For one, it is a relatively new format.
Thats what ambiguity enables, a logical fallacy that allows evil corpos to do as they please. And thats basically capitalism, or even feudalism at this point.
To be fair, having experience in OSes from childhood is certainly a life lesson to the upcoming years within teenhood and adulthood. I’m not undermining this attribute, as within a world of complexity, having any experience already puts you further than most.
Please stop trying to justify fascist laws. Ageism is still discrimination. And like people, without prior experience it is quite logical they will be susceptible. This of course applies to anyone any age.
The only problem here is the predatory system that is designed to exploit people. The victims are not the predators so justifying how their rights should be stripped based on an arbitrary number makes this whole argument insignificant.
Like other types of discrimination: racism, sexism, there are other ways than to introduce more social segmentation which always leads to fascism.
Actual studies say
The general consensus is the studies say that usage of devices impacts everyone. Let’s not cherry pick a particular minority here, just to explain that stripping their already insignificant rights is a good thing. In addition teenagers, which are not children, are dismissed here. According to studies they are more similar to adults in therms of decision making capabilities - dismissing that is ageism.
I think no phones until 18 would be doable
This is essentially the same speak as the laws trying to ban privacy for all. First of all where is the consent? Also, what is the sense of punishing the minority for being who they are, stripping their rights, if the perpetrators are still unharmed? In essence, phone and laptop usage wouldn’t be so bad for anyone (not just kids or teenagers), if we focused on the actual problems not turn to discrimination.
as a child
So you where under 12, when you learned how to use Linux?
In general, I do agree with controls set on children, locally by the parents that is - excluding teenagers.
Rhetorical questions aside. Let’s not counteract a dystopia with another dystopa here.
Wow, discrimination really makes this place that much similar to reddit. I’d really consider who really is the one trashing the place.
Exactly, children and teenagers are meere tools.
I agree, he is a type of person to anchor on to anything that can sustain his own egocentric power. In fact, the time ticks till he decides that releasing another batch of Epstein files would prove advantageous to distract people from the genocide and war crimes he is commiting.
Like all the previous fascist waves, they all centre around discrimination. It is about taking advantage of the societies inherent discriminatory behavior, in the past this was mainly racism - in this case however, its ageism.
It is the fact that anyone young is treated as a subclass citizen or in fact not even a person. ID laws are examples of fascist unjust laws which consequently invalidate the freedom and speech of young people. Our society rewards infantilization of others, and it shows how truly ignorant and adulcentrist we all are.
Finally, I don’t believe all of mankind will look back, as all the cases with fascism is “ignorance is strength”, so tracing the problem back to our societal ageism and discrimination will only be done by a select bunch.
They only seem to care when it benefits them directly. Punishment is collective, enhanced by the poisoned individualism destined to segment and distrust the other people we should be seeing as friendly. The fact is, anything other than life or death is essentially lies and deceiving, this is evident with the “protect the kids” and the like - using a particular minority as tools of discrimination.
Like you said, from the moment of birth, we are destined to keep the bone crushing machine running. Manipulated and exploited is one way to describe this
Unlike the state mandated garbage, this OS is more realistic with the capabilities and expectations of its users.
Fighting against pedophilia
How exactly is fighting against a mental illness going to solve anything? The majority of cases right now, Epstein, et all, are rapists not pedophiles in that context.
Pedophilia isn’t going to magically dissapear, alas it should be less scrutinised such that those who are I’ll are helped. Rape is a crime which should be fighted against, an illness is not a crime.
Marriage on its own is a problematic concept. The problems with child and essentially teen marriage are the tip of the iceberg.
It is the case where thousands of people past the common age are still being abused. And even within countries where the children’s rights have been ratified, those individuals are yet again prone to abuse when they reach the arbitrary number which is the common age.
That’s because only the rich are allowed to innovate, and even if their innovation fails spectacularly, they have enough power to blindfold the public essentially making it appear as a success (e.g: AI).
child driver’s license Well, teenager, but that’s still a child
Not to be pedantic, but make up your mind here. A child is physically unable to drive nor do anything that requires complex thought. A teenager is not a child, both by definition and by physical aspect. This is essentially ageism, by infantilizing teenagers, including your past self. Especially, since you’re correlating adulthood to that particular time period later on.
I agree, we shouldn’t be painting false pictures like this. The hard truth is that being an adult is objectively better, no matter what experiences you had during childhood or teenhood.
The thing is, romanticizing lack of rights is what truly is the problem here, this isn’t focused on the age - but the lack of control. Its usually this aspect which is included in these “childhood romanticism” posts. Age relation is just the consequence for this lack of rights.
Ultimately, autonomy should exist for all people - no matter the age. This is particularly important for teenagers which seem to be constantly ignored within society. Failing to understand this is what will lead to another “Australia style” blanket ban.
The thing about these comparisons is they are usually one-way, disregarding some of the more important aspects within the current situations.
I’m just going to leave it at that. Glorifying capitalism is onething but adding discrimination to the mix, and the insifignificance of experience, and the apparent need for fascism to protect the kids and eliminate the need for parenting is absurd to say the least.
The fact that predators are enabled to flourish within the system, while minorities are suppressed and their rights stripped is exactly why that statement is invalid.
