yeah, i get that worry. there’s a lot of great stuff for all ages on youtube but lately the ads feel increasingly active and punishing.

hot damn!
ah amazing - good on you and well done!
much respect - that’s the deal. treat them no less than you would treat royalty 😂
I used to be anti-paw patrol but I’ve softened on that over time. It’s a bit soulless, but it’s not too bad. my daughter loves the catchphrases and frankly, the repetitiveness is part of the fun for her.
Show that I have loved:
super simple songs - aimed at cocomelon-age but it’s got a very high quality production, really lovely varying different video styles, much better music and songs, and in general much better everything. would recommend it over cocomelon any day.
mr men - there’s a ‘newer’ version of the show which is really quite good
pink panther - the old shows hold up surprisingly well but there’s a set of newer cartoons that are great fun too
spidey and amazing friends - my daughter is now the biggest spiderman fan because of it and i’ve found she also enjoys watching clips from the MCU/spiderverse films with me because of it. 10/10 recommended.
om nom & stories - bit weird how i remember this as the ‘cut the rope game character’ but as far as animation goes it’s really high quality.
super wings - relaly high quality animated show. like absurdly well rendered and exciting.
airport diaries - as an adult, it’s a bit odd. the stories are like half-formed and the animation and everything a bit janky. but my daughter is obsessed by talking planes at an airport so she loves it and i guess that’s what matters.
i’m sure there’s more but that’s a solid list.
I’ve always wanted to carry around a spare change of clothes for myself just in case I get someone else’s pee on them :D
you make an interesting point and it reminds me of a counter point: that modern wars might have higher death tolls than historical wars, but modern wars - with modern weapons - end up costing less life overall compared to the populations of the time.
for tribal conflict of humans past, victory could mean wiping out the other tribe - 50% death toll or higher. as weapons advanced and more efficient and more destructive tactics emerged, wars can be more violent and more deadly but shorter and with fewer deaths compared to the overall population. wars became efficient.
all this is to say that if we didn’t have modern weapons there would be more killing - not less. “victory” would necessitate more deaths.
i personally see them as different tools of the same end goal - wealth generation in a checked and sustainable manner. capitalist environments inspire innovation, but require boundaries set (regulators) and a political environment which is alert and aware of exploitation and can make the calls about what is or is not acceptable.
software engineer in a medium-large public tech company, i agree. i can’t even imagine the amount of stress the legal team must be under to constantly be discovering what management and engineering have messed up this time…and discover the problem is 6 months old and if a regulator catches wind of it it’ll be painful.
reminds me of Seoraksan - was stunning
and don’t forget that this is “we’ll work with you” - i.e. you’d better build your own analytics into your game to prove your case otherwise unity can go “well assume 10% are bad installs - now pay for 90%”
absolutely yes 🤤
i’m thrilled to see that the donations are letting this be somewhat self sustaining. obviously a lot of unpaid volunteering going into this so not quite a self sustaining non profit, but it’s got all the promising signs
but….why? of all the things to care about with that dying husk of a platform, what could suddenly make biometric information such an interest to them?
there’s a lot of reddit posts (yes. i know, the heresy) and youtube videos on this. tldr: get good lawyers and financial advisors before you tell anyone, and let them help you work it out.
i don’t use twitter anyway, so my plan is to enjoy this virtual boxing match between musk and zuckerberg until they actually follow through on their real punchup.
no please, don’t
free money has dried up, now they need to monetise your habits.
lord almighty that’s insane. yeah i’m so glad i’ve never come across that before!
