Any technical solution that is supposed to block teenagers from anything is not going to work very well, because you are facing an opponent that:

* is smarter than you,
* is very dedicated,
* has a lot of free time,
* has an extensive network of friends,
* faces no serious consequences if caught,
* outnumbers you,
* considers you an immoral crook.

You really, *really* want to have them on your side. That means education rather than control.

tl;dr: too long; didn't read

ai;dr: contains AI slop; didn't read

av;dr: requested age verification; didn't read

451;dr: content unavailable for legal reasons; didn't read

js;dr: page required JavaScript; didn't read

ps;dr: problematic site; didn't read

dr;dr: I feel like a pair of curtains. Pull yourself together.

Naming your variables and functions properly in your code is important, that's how others will find it easier to read it.

LLM needs context, its better with right naming.

#Programming

Opened #Facebook after a very long time. The feed is full of "suggested posts" from accounts I haven't interacted with. If it's such rubbish, why not just browse #reddit for content from total strangers.
Playing #DeathStranding finally. The game feels like finishing Jira tickets. Each task has loadout configuration and then you get a detailed report on how well you performed on it.

Mobile websites of most online stuff you use are quite great, e.g. Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky, news papers and banks. You don't really need all invasive, notification ridden apps.

#FreeWeb

As always, focus on basics and grow your intrinsic skills. Don't stick to one framework, language or platform.

Coding agents have crossed a chasm // flurries of latent creativity

So peak design is simple page, mostly text, minimal images and banners. And to get away from rich web you have to subscribe for it!

My wife lives with a severely debilitating disease (GNE Myopathy) and we imported a AFO (Ankle Foot Orthosis) which helps her walk a bit from Europe; UPS India didn't bother to mention the item properly to the customs and is now demanding > 50% import duty and the person on the phone was extremely rude.
