That said, I hate it since so much of it is dependent on a single device that can generally be opened by just applying REDACTED to the screen and doing REDACTED to narrow down the lock code significantly.

Would that work with my pin which is the equivalent of 40483770487025502574448? Or is a password better?

I think a pin like that is harder to remember for people, and even to get it using fingerprints is difficult because you cover a lot of the numbers giving false information

Next step, bind them to unused keys on your keyboard and press them in the right order

I can only tell you what I read it as: it’s about the current increase in regulations from the EU, this can be specifically read as a way to avoid getting regulated by DMA which aims to make any massively popular services have to have crossplay or compatibility methods that any other competitor can use.

It’s basically asking any service to have a standard way of interoperability with everyone else, which ActivityPub can be considered for social media, and Meta is using federating with ActivityPub based services while getting blocked by them as a plausibly deniable way of interoperability without actually having to do that because they’re blocked by most of the other services and they can surely find ways to block other popular servers by claiming that those servers are not doing as good of a job at moderating, allowing Meta to have their cake and eat it too basically.

I hope this helps, I tried to cover every possible way to explain it that I could think of. I tried to see if ChatGPT can help but I felt it was lacking.

Thanks for putting this in words, I had been struggling thinking about what was bothering me about this.

The first time the red arrow was actually needed by me (and even then it was hard to notice)

I agree with the latter point but your first point is the only one I found myself questioning in this thread. If we were just going on feelings I would agree with you, but I’m not so sure if it’s actually a given, especially if we take out children as the variable as they are really susceptible to it. It can be addictive for sure, but is it brain rotting? I would like to see a study.

I’m curious about this but I’m barely a programmer now, so if anyone is up to explain

I second BarqsHasBite

Fingers crossed that I’ll get to call you esteemed Academy Award winning character actress Margot Robbie

We have a very similar way of thinking.

Forgot to mention in the edit, so adding as a new comment:

I’ll bring back my story ideas and complete them and publish them as books, it’ll let me pretend that I have an active imagination as a writer and that I just got lucky with the lottery and used it to put money in tech that fascinated me and just was good at imagining tech.

I’ll do a fast forward course of comp-sci to present RISC-V based on that and use common terminology to explain it as much as possible.

Like the other person mentioned their family, I would say that about my friends and other relations. I don’t think it’s possible for me to redo my life in a way that my decade old friendships would be the same (or even better) than what they became. I don’t even know if I will feel the same about my friends if I decide to relive my life as memory is a precarious thing and I can’t rely on how I feel about them to last until I meet them again and live life interacting with them while trying to change the world.

I could consider a 21yo body but as a millennial I would end up overaged for the people who were important in my life to have any meaningful relation with them.

I have considered the scenario of reliving my life, correcting my mistakes and maybe making some massive changes along the way, if I could somehow guarantee keeping the things that matter to me the same.

I forgot to write what things I would do, so here are some ideas:

• Investing is an obvious one which everyone else has also mentioned.
• I would download all the open source stuff, all leaked files, maybe even scour the dark web for stuff
• Buy NeXt to hire jobs as the CEO of my tech company (also any other corporations that I could buy back then, like Google)
• I’ll create a note with ideas that were killed too soon or didn’t last due to tampering by big corps, and products which got enshittified and implement them when there’s no competition or wait for when I have enough money to not worry about people getting in my way.
• I’ll create a note with mention of all the important events (multiple notes, encrypted, to prevent someone from using that information)
• Put an offline LLM and other AI on my phone (along with very reliable chargers and replacement batteries).
• (Kind of a sub point of above, but it got big) I’ll try to take a phone with replaceable batteries and sturdy design. It would be great if it could fit in that time, I’ll disable the touch screen to that effect and only use a stylus, and other changes to make it seem worse or maybe take a “bad” phone from the start. I’ll also claim it’s an experimental product if someone asks me about it.
• A list of my favourite recipes, so that I can be a food trailblazer
• Start my own music company and invest in artists which I know will be big in the future, give them better terms than my competition and use that roster to prepare for streaming. I’ll already have Jobs and Ive to design iPod and take over that period.
• With RISC-V as my chip, I’ll buy one of the fabs which went under back then and use it to establish myself as a chip manufacturer and once I have built up enough lead in the fab business with knowledge gathered before going back I’ll open source RISC-V as an act of benevolence according to the world (I’ll discuss the future fab knowledge with the researchers I will acqui-hire with the fab, they should be able to create something in a few years with whatever knowledge I can provide, I’ll just have to act as a layman with more knowledge and if I go with my age they’ll think I’m a smart kid)
• I didn’t mention crypto because that might change with the chip info I bring back, so I’ll see if that happens again and invest early and secretly to have enough of it to have a hand in that too.
• I’ll also try to keep my identity hidden so that I can live the important parts of my life again as they were, and once I have lived those I’ll consider if I need to be known to the world.
• I’ll prepare media organizations to fight disinformation
• I’ll bring back innovations in renewables that I’ll slowly release into the world.

For that they’ll need to stop considering themselves as better than others first.
