Any reason to use this over uBlock Origin Lite?

Do you really think a fresh steam account will have equal footing? I'd be surprised if that was the case.

Even Nintendo has been setting fairly strict requirements to pre-order some of their products, like requiring 50 hours of playtime on the original switch to pre-order the Switch 2

At what point should the responsibility fall on the parent to protect their children from harm?

Don’t get me wrong, if I had my way TikTok wouldn’t exist for anyone, adults included. It’s just so strange to me that so many parents hand their 7 year olds unrestricted access to TikTok and expect someone else to keep their kid safe.

Feels a bit rage-baity

Clicking on the example photo of a white family with 3 small children in a field.

Very cool stuff!

This did catch my eye, however: https://github.com/creationix/rx?tab=readme-ov-file#proxy-be...

While this is a neat feature, this means it is not in fact a drop in replacement for JSON.parse, as you will be breaking any code that relies on the that result being a mutable object.

What game are you working on?

They don’t need to hide behind a "think of the children" excuse to justify invading people’s privacy and rights. They already do that freely. But to be fair, they do actually think about the kids some times. Limiting screen time, banning certain games, and restricting social media are based policies for developing brains IMO.

In 20 years we'll look at a lot of things that are normalized today like we look at cigarettes now, in disbelief at how unhealthy it was.
