Is it really worth the tradeoffs of having significantly smaller storage space, reduced screen size, and clicking through way more often, just to not have to move your eyes as much horizontally?

Why is the government making efforts to increase technological literacy not an option?

Huh, that's what Kiwi Farms says about the people that they talk about online too. And Cloudflare famously retaliated against them, but are retaliating against the victim in this case because Archive.today responded to the doxing in the wrong way apparently

Parents already have full control over this because they make the choice to give their kids a device in the first place

Analog formats are clearly inferior to digital ones, but analog speakers are superior to digital ones?

Krazam is legendary. This first Public Memories episode feels like a cross between Portlandia and Silicon Valley. Looking forward to seeing more!

Right. It's not "guilty" at all

This reminds me of a similar project called Hypertext.tv, but instead of YouTube videos, it shows websites. It's an interesting take on channel surfing since each airing is interactive

This is pretty cool. I like the look and the gameplay. Though playing on mobile, some of the roatation gestures caused the page to refesh on me a couple of times since they triggered the browser's "drag down to refresh" interaction
