- Reddit is suing Australia to have itself removed from the under-16 banlist. (The Register)
Reddit is a screaming dumpster fire, but so is our government, and I can simply ignore Reddit if I choose. So I'm solidly on their side.

- Want a high-resolution monitor but still need fast refresh rates for games? Asus' new XG27JG has you covered. (Tom's Hardware)
It's a 5k model which is good enough for almost anything, and runs at 180Hz which is also good enough for almost anything. But if you drop the resolution to 2560x1440 you can boost the refresh rate to 330Hz, which is more than enough.
HDR 600 and 97% of DCI-P3 colour. One small catch: It doesn't work at its full resolution and refresh rate on an Nvidia 4000-series card, because those only support an older version of DisplayPort. Previous generation Radeon 7000 series cards do work, as do all current-generation cards.
Around $835.
- Buying 1152GB of Frakenram for $8000. (Tom's Hardware)
The user put an offer in on a second-hand custom Nvidia AI system that originally cost around $80,000 and managed to get it working.
- Over 10,000 Docker Hub images have been found leaking credentials. (Bleeping Computer)
It's over 10,000!

I think we should ban children from government schools, and have age verification to attend government captured schools. What would we really lose if you had to be forty or older to attend a university?

"The first is that Australia's constitution includes an implied freedom
of political communication that exists to ensure Australians can "exercise a free and informed choice as electors." Reddit argues that
banning kids from social media infringes that freedom."

On the one hand, I honestly agree that children should not be on Internet, let alone Social Media. On the other hand, the can is open and the worms are everywhere.

I absolutely don't think that maximum screen time is good for adult me. I think that 'laptops for students' and 'digital natives' were clearly magical thinking, and not an obvious improvement. However, I think 'screen time is inherently bad' has an appropriate response of 'in comparison to what'. Basically, I think that Bible and times table could be a good enough, and better than status quo way of doing elementary school. I think having pedophiles teach about sex in elementary schools is damaging and has no positive utility. I think screen time is between those extremes, and I do not really trust American public (government) schools not to be so bad that screen time is an improvement.

Internet, or the Modren Web, is bad for everybody, especially the way "social media" has leveraged mental illness into a marketing ploy, but chirruns be especially vulnerable to its dreadful wiles. On the gripping hand, you're entirely right about mentally ill teachers infecting our precious chirruns. If I had kids, I'd move to an Amish community and raise 'em without even that facist cripple Rooseveldt's radio.
