  In most countries by the age of 6 or 7 most kids would be in school and sat in a chair for most of their waking hours. What sort of Captain Fantastic utopia with with sunshine, rainbows and developing muscles do you imagine contemporary childhood to be?

  If by the age of 15, as the original comment suggested, a kid has never touched a screen they would be ostracised by their classmates and most likely have lasting trauma.

  Of course it’s nice to spend weekends and holidays outside, but a blanket ban on screentime is something else completely.

  Then again, parents are entitled to their own opinions and as I’ve said, it’s none of my business what these opinions are.

  It’s none of my business how you decide to raise your children but I firmly believe screentime is not such a big deal. Engaging with corporate apps designed to be both addictive and extremely easy to use is.

  I think giving a kid their own beater laptop with some linux distro to tinker with, break, learn how to type, play a few games, draw or whatever else interests them especially at an early age would help the child to engage with tech in a creative and productive way and not be afraid of messing with it.

  My bet is that the most tech illiterate people that view LLMs and computers in general as some sort of magic are the most severely affected ones.

  Nice to see nim mentioned. Quite like it as in principle but I thought it was on life support.

  Afaik Stotify normalizes the tracks by default and from what I gather that means it boosts the volume across the track and applies a limiter to roll off the loudest parts, which I guess should name them sound much flatter.

  You’re not alone though, my gf reported the same thing so we’ve spent an afternoon comparing the same albums on Spotify and my Jellyfin collection. Same phone, same headphones, the differences listening to some albums were huge.
