  • Yeah, I’m honestly scared for the next generation.

    Everything thier peers are doing is cooking thier mental health and cognitive skills. Smart Phones, Social Media, Chatbots, and short form videos. I have banned my kid from those things, and it’s made me the kill joy. To my kid, their peers, to most other parents, the only people who seem to appreciate it as a whole are the teachers.

    But if you wouldn’t give your kid a substance with those outcomes, then why are you letting them use a technology with them?

    But the parents are also on those technologies and its hidden those realities from them. I’ve quit all ad supported social media because it actively manipulates you. And its very good at it, and it gives zero shits how that affects you. Its doubly destructive on teens without fully formed frontal lobes.

    And I don’t think the solution is banning kids from the internet. I think the solution is regulation of the practices, just because they’re extra destructive for kids doesn’t mean its okay for adults.









  • Theres so many ways to check for that that don’t require decompiling the app.

    You can straight compare the downloaded binary with a locally compiled binary to see if they match.

    You can check the hash of app. Changing some lines of code and getting the same hash is so unlikely to be effectively impossible.

    If for some reason Signal decided to do what you claim, it’d destroy thier credibility, be caught almost immediately, and only work once before the whole project gets forked, and would be true of any alternative.
