@FelisCatusDomesticus @KarlHeinzHasliP @cwebber it's almost entirely parental responsibility and social influence, that's my point. Kids are kids.

@neatchee @KarlHeinzHasliP @cwebber
and dumb parents usually produce children who are equally dumb.

@FelisCatusDomesticus @neatchee @cwebber Got a source link?
-
@cwebber young generations today are too stupid, too brainwashed, too self absorbed, to care
@FelisCatusDomesticus @cwebber they probably act like that toward you because you make this kind of comment that the generation before you was also making about you…

@FelisCatusDomesticus @cwebber they probably act like that toward you because you make this kind of comment that the generation before you was also making about you…
but what if the comment is true? both then and now..
then what?
should we offer 2 versions? truth and truth lite?
what do you suggest?
-
@fluffykittycat @freya @cwebber Because otherwise their kid might end up becoming one of those got dang "home of sexuals" and that's literally the worst thing to ever possibly happen to anyone ever
-
@FelisCatusDomesticus @cwebber you can't exactly do that individually on a dime like that
the FOMO is too strong in the young generation..
they haven't figured it out yet..
if this were not true, then they would not need anything more than email and 1980's style BBS to communicate online.
-
@FelisCatusDomesticus @cwebber then curl in a corner and ponder the slow decay of humanity and leave the kids be !
-
@fluffykittycat @gorlak @cwebber indeed, and what about content regarding Wicca, or Islam? Where's the line and who decides it?

Red alert! If this sounds like bad shit that's because IT IS
There was a time when the whole internet would be rallied against this stuff.....
@cwebber how does this affect Linux distributions? What if a distro is too small and doesn’t have the means?
-
@FelisCatusDomesticus @cwebber then you could stop lecturing people on social media. Also, most of what you said about kids under this post applies to addults as well. If kids are “like this” today, maybe it's the grown ups that are to blame. Sorry if I’m being harsh but this comment isn’t helping anyone get anything done
-
@cwebber How in the absolute shit are they expecting to enforce such a ridiculous regulation? Or is that not something politicians care about?

@cwebber there was a time when the entire Internet was rabidly against ads too. Good times.

“No personal information is communicated that you could use to identify somebody; it’s just an age bracket signal”
Does anyone believe that?
-
@FelisCatusDomesticus They're too disempowered to feel like they can do something about it, which is a different thing
@cwebber @FelisCatusDomesticus The youth never had an internet that wasn't corporate oligarch-owned extremist scam garbage. So I totally get it if they don't care. A lot of us olds are nostalgic for an Internet that hasn't existed for a long time.

@FelisCatusDomesticus @cwebber And how should they without adults im their lifes teaching them. The Art of Introducing Kids to Networked Turing Machines...
@KarlHeinzHasliP @FelisCatusDomesticus @cwebber Not just that - computer design today emphasizes hiding how things work. Which gets annoying real fast but also doesn't lend itself to encouraging people to look deeper.
-
@fluffykittycat @gorlak @cwebber so true. There used to be a great Wiccan search engine avatarsearch.com, it was killed like 15 years ago with the usual reasons for censorship (something is probably squating in its place now). The world is a worse place without it.

This younger generation will definitely find a way to communicate online - WAY smarter than the politicians
