Again, stop giving them devices that they have full control over. They either shouldn’t have a smartphone or they should have one that you control.

I don’t understand how people are able to separate livestock from their pets. No one would tolerate their dog being in this picture.
Right, so use them to your advantage? Don’t allow unfettered internet access on the device you give your child. Use MDM/Parental controls to lock its internet access to a proxy or VPN that blocks adult websites, as well as other anonymizers. Business have been doing this since forever.
It’s not on you to know every single website and what it does. All major security providers maintain a classification database of websites that they use to filter the internet. Most major corporations subscribe to those lists, as do schools (I think by law). All you would do is buy one of these services and the blacklist would be managed by them. They’re not 100% perfect, and you child will be able to find a picture of boobs if they try hard enough, but that has always been the case.
One quick and easy way is to change your DNS to 1.1.1.3, which is a public resolver Cloudflare runs which filters out adult domains. This doesn’t scale if you’ve given your child a cellular device that can connect to other networks, but in that case you shouldn’t have done that, or should secure that device with a security solution that can enforce polices across the OS.
Personally I think it should be easier for parents to be able to do this kind of thing without having to learn too much about the tech, but deciding how to raise your child and what to shelter them from is your responsibility. These products have existed for decades. Instead of forcing OS manufactures to confirm ages and identities, we should focus on making sure parents have access to easy to use parental controls.
You’re so close. It’s like you read 1/2 of the detective novel, thought you knew who did it, then got bored and closed it without finding out you were wrong.
It was disingenuous to infer that the minor tax increase you linked to above had any meaningful impact on affordability.
If your second link is accurate then your bigger beef is with the provincial liquor boards as they are levying a tax that is certainly notable.
And then to blame immigrants for unaffordability with the old debunked “taking our jobs” argument is just sad. I hope you eventually step out of your conservative bubble and see that it’s capitalism and class inequality that are the problem, not government and your fellow man.
Charlebois predicts the tax will increase the price of a single beer by one cent, while the finance ministry told Global News in a statement that the amount would be three-quarters of a cent.
Oh no? Even in the worst case the taxes are clearly not the issue.
Beer Canada said since the tax is a production tax imposed on the brewer at the point and time of production, “it is then magnified by other fees and taxes imposed by distributors, retailers, and provinces, including sales taxes,” making the impact on a 12-pack likely closer to 20 cents.
And all from natural gas. Literally a 24/7 365 burn. The environmental community never could have predicted the regressions of the last few years. There’s no hope anymore.
My mistake, it always allowed PHEVs in Canada and I made the assumption it was similar elsewhere as a full blown EV mandate is a really though sell. Thanks for clarifying.
While battery degradation is real, one thing people often overlook is that most of these mandates include PHEVs under the umbrella of electric vehicles. PHEVs have way smaller batteries which make them lighter, cheaper, and they aren’t subject to range anxiety. The only downside is the extra cost and the continued maintenance required of an ICE (but ICE buyers are used to it and don’t care about that).
