Ya this has been my sentiment. If i need to one-off a quick script that does some processing on data, it’s nice to offload that so i can focus on pieces of my code that are more important and interesting to me. The context switching cost is still there tho…

Ya i thought this as well… seems like a bad idea. I get that most ppl keep their phone number. Maybe better to let ppl just use their number than everyone creating an account? Idk..

But now i think of it… how does Visa and MC do it? Cuz i dont have a username or phone nber with them (i know they have my number). But i havent switched my number, so maybe if i did, i would have an issue?

It makes me really happy when companies continue to fuck up and enshitify their software because it adds more ppl to the Linux/FOSS evosystem. I have a MBP and I love it dearly (the hardware, macOS is fine), but Apple has been disappointing me with each software update on macOS and iOS. The quality of their software is degrading so badly. I know Asahi linux is around, but Im at the point ill just go full Framework and make my ecosystem Linux based (with GrapheneOS on my nee pixel). Just so tired of companies doing such a bad job with billions and billions of dollars. It’s truly unbelievable.

Maybe. Do you forget that people use to not have phones or social media and they still had independent thought? Just because kids aren’t introduced to videos and comments about politics at a young age, doesn’t mean they’re going to be brainwashed by the ruling government. Societies operated just the same before social media.

Edit: Dont get me wrong, there could be ulterior motives, but kids will have other ways to educate themselves on the happenings of the world beside social media
