Why YouTube Kids is broken

As a parent of two daughters, I'm really annoyed by what YouTube Kids is doing—and, more specifically, by what they're not doing. Their promise is to give me agency, but in practice it feels broken. So I'm writing down my personal struggles and my future concerns.

Cover the entire screen with your PWA on iOS

When you add a website as a progressive web app (PWA) on your iOS device, Apple avoids content being hidden below the notches. But with some tweaks we can cover the entire screen so your PWA will feel even more native.

Is this multiple accounts for the same person still not fixed in the fediverse? I know why there are multiple accounts, for normies this is still very confusing and don’t know which account they have to follow..

After I updated the Symfony Mailer contrib module (Drupal) to version 1.6.1, all emails attachments were missing of the emails being sent.

Ik stopte een jaar geleden met #twitter. Want zoals ik zelf @Trouw schreef: Twitter is geen dorpsplein, hooguit de kroeg op het dorpsplein: https://www.trouw.nl/opinie/twitter-is-geen-dorpsplein-hooguit-de-kroeg-op-het-dorpsplein~b2f1c17f/ Toch heb ik nu pas Mastodon echt omarmd. Waarom? Twijfels. Ga ik voor het bereik van #bluesky of de interoperabiliteit van #mastodon? En hoeveel energie kan en wil ik erin steken? Mijn conclusie: bereik is tijdelijk en een democratisch internet vergt inzet. Dus nu de vraag: wie moét ik hier volgen? #technologie #politiek #democratie
Twitter is geen dorpsplein, hooguit de kroeg op het dorpsplein

De hamvraag is waarom we een maatschappelijke functie toekennen aan een commercieel platform als Twitter, betoogt Rudy van Belkom, directeur van Stichting Toekomstbeeld der Techniek.
