Can you give some examples of things rapidly disappearing?

Migrated my website away from 11ty to my own code today, after reading this. Took me about 45 minutes writing a program generating the exact same result. Honestly, I don't think software should be perpetually maintained. The problem with all these things is people want to much.

Poor sould -- they should have googled `wlroots` before their commenting.

> Defeats the point of sandboxing

Sandboxing defeats the point of said applications. If you want your computer to have no functionality, check out Figma. A clickable prototype sounds like precisely the security the world needs right now.

They probably don't even expect 4chan to pay up - they just want them gone.

The GDPR is about your data being handled overseas.

OFCOM&co is about overseas data going to you.

You're so right... Some of these patterns are, to their very core, parts of what make these social media bad.

I'm not really sure if the author (i.e. generative language model) is being serious or being sarcastic...

That is authoritarianism. Indeed, you have a valid point, except that communism in fact only is an economic theory and does not implicate anything on other areas of government. There is no difference between a capitalist authoritarian and a communist authoritarian except that a communist actually has a story (i.e. a fairy-tale) to sell to their people.

How can a child get any experience, if they are only ever exposed to perfect make-believe fairyland?

What I believe the author did was instead of teaching their child that they may not talk to strangers, they believed there just is a magic button to have these strangers not exist.

Shouldn't you trust your children, to come to you in that 20%?

I am opposed to the whole concept of these "parental controls". Instead of a bond of trust, between a parent and their child, the surveillance economy has gave us the ability to experience the top of the surveillance pyramid ourselves. As Google and Meta spy on the world, we spy on little Timmy. In fact, you are a bad parent if you don't spy on little Timmy. I really can't wrap my head around how asking "how was your day" has evolved into "I saw on your GPS tracker you walked a different route to school today... Do you have something to tell me?" If you look at everyone who is now joining the work force and all, the coming generations, you'll see the thing they lack most is independence.
