USA is not an ally to anyone, just look at how they've behaved against Canada, a country that supported the US fight for independence, and has been their #1 ally ever since.
Denmark too has been one of the closest allies to USA for half a century. And USA could easily make defense agreements regarding Greenland with Greenland and Denmark. Yet they choose to behave like an enemy!!!

USA is behaving like an enemy, and behaving like an enemy, actually makes you one.

Canada, a country that supported the US fight for independence

I do have to question this idea, because the defining feature that kept Canada as Canada, rather than yet another part of the US, is that the Canadian colonies famously did not support independence.

The US even tried to "liberate" Quebec during the war, and the locals were very much not fans of that idea.

Yeah, over a long enough timescale every country's relations have their ups and downs. Recent generations have been quite close, though - Canada spent a lot of military lives supporting America's misadventure in Afghanistan, for example. So it's still quite the massive stab in the back as far as the currently living Canadians are concerned.

Educational experts, at least here in Germany, advise against a ban. A phone enables participation for a child among children who‘ll just work around the ban. The net effect will be negative.

Ah yes, if [unnamed vague concept] of German “educational” “experts” say so then it MUST both be an 1) honest report of findings, and 2) objectively correct facts. Opinion changed. Boom done.

Just kidding.

Thats stupid, and even if they are real and think so, I think they are stupid then lol.

Banning phones means banning phones. It’s hard for kids to sneak a brick of bright light when they’re in a classroom of their peers facing the teacher, so noone will be missing out on anything so long as the teachers properly enforce the new rule.

I think it likely that there will be more positive outcomes by forcing children to socialize face-to-face which is natural and especially important at that age.

Your comment essentially boils down to: Some people think we should just let kids do whatever they want and don’t worry about discipline, rules, or things needing a “right place and the right time.” You reek of “millennial/ipad-kid parent” lol.

Reconciliation of results was challenging, and findings should be treated with caution given differences in methods and measures, and discrepancies in operational definitions of the bans themselves. For example, the results of two studies supporting bans for improved academic outcomes were restricted to low-achieving students from low socioeconomic (SES) backgrounds… That is, they found that high-achieving and economically advantaged students were less likely to benefit academically from mobile phones use in class, as compared to their disadvantaged peers
Beland and Murphy (2016) examined exam scores in secondary school students and found that in schools which imposed a mobile phone ban, exam scores improved by an average 0.07 standard deviation, pre- to post-ban. Importantly, this effect was driven by the finding that students in the lowest quintile of prior academic achievement made a gain of approximately 14.23% of a standard deviation in test scores, while for students in the top quintile, test scores were unrelated to the ban.
Despite the variability of findings, it seems that in some circumstances there are some negative, although small, impacts of mobile phone use on academic outcomes. This suggests that restrictions on mobile phones in schools might be beneficial for some students’ academic achievement but make no difference to others.

Considering the ban largely concerns itself with CLASSROOMS in South Korea — a place where students are SUPPOSED TO LEARN, y’know, where the principle concern is academics — I’d say that their findings support the ban more than anything else.

Furthermore, TWO studies showed increases in bullying/cyberbullying while the MAJORITY showed decreases in such harassment — but the study still postures itself in a way that hypothesizes why it increases and further hypothesizes that phones shouldn’t be banned to prevent that POSSIBILITY.

The answer is simple if you read your own linked study and actually use your brain while doing so. It’s clear the authors entered into this metastudy with preconceived biases from their “narrative” and highly suggestive “findings” which you cherry-picked your own conclusions from to support your odd, logically questionable comment. And again, you don’t need a study by some rando people to conclude that phones are just not needed and possibly harmful at school for children.

Again, put your iPad down dude, you probably got a kid to go parent. Otherwise, go touch grass 😀

If there’s an earthquake — I hope people/children are more concerned about getting to safety rather than calling mommy and telling her that they are about to die because rather than get to safety they got distracted by their phone calling her.

After the earthquake, if it’s catastrophic, the parents know where the kids are. Hint: AT THE FUCKIN’ SCHOOL. And they will likely need to go pick them up anyways.

When I went to school, if you were seen with your phone out during class it was confiscated until the end of the day. And back then all you could use them for was texting anyway haha.

Anything that might distract from the lesson would be treated the same way, that's just basic sense for any teacher.

As a teacher from a country that passed a similar law a few months ago: this is stupid, it won't work unless you get parents involved. Also, it offloads the parenting responsibility to already overworked teachers. You know a law that could actually be more effective? Ban the use of social media for those below 18. Another one? Make the use of parental controls mandatory for people below 18. This kind of law may only work if it's implemented together with other changes where it's possible to spread the responsibility over the issue across many layers. If all you're doing is relying on schools and teachers, all this law will do is to contribute even more to the high levels of burnout teachers have. Can we please force parents to actually have to parent their fucking kids??

Banning social media for people under 18 years old also offload parenting works to the government and corporations, this will impact everyone privacy and sincerely I'd rather keep my privacy even if I don't use corporate social media.

Your second suggestion is appealing, why we don't put cameras in people houses to see if they comply and if they don't straight to jail.

Also we make special routers that enforce parental control unless you provide an id or you are capable enough to allow specific devices to go on blacklisted websites, and you must have one if you have kids, at the store the guy at the counter will ask for your id and will have all of your relatives ages, the same will apply with ISP.

I'm sorry you are overworked but I'm pretty sure that unless you have to search kids backpacks in your specific instance you can make it like my teachers and professors managed to do 15 years ago.

How does this work? Well you spot a cellphone and you get it from the kid, you don't spot one you go about with your lesson, you have shitty kids and you fear them and their parents? Let em use the phone and have them fail the year or I don't know maybe its not the job for you but its not like you have to do double work to confiscate a phone.

Also kids will have cellphones no matter what, they will have it to call home and for emergencies, so parents involved in what? A good parent dont want their kid to use it during the lesson, but they don't know better, many of them dont know how to set parental control or if it even exist.

Sorry if this come across as harsh, but I'm more tired then you to have my freedom stripped away for children and stupid teens.

People under 18 shouldn't be on social media, at all. It's incredibly bad for them, as proven by many many studies. You don't need to lose your liberties for this, I guarantee you that google/apple know most people's age from their super vast data collection based on how much people overshare online. All it takes is to force these giant companies to actually enforce the use of their own technologies, and for governments to spread awareness on how and why to use them, passing a law making it mandatory and part of parental duties is just an icing on the cake that can be used by schools to demand that parents parent their kids.

As a teacher, I do mind taking a student's phone away, as I don't think the phone itself is the problem, but what they're doing with it. And the best approach is not to simply shun the device, but to learn and foster how to use such a powerful tool as a potentiator of education. Banning devices is stupid because it's the easy way out, the lazy choice. It has been done since I was a kid and all some of us had were brick phones that could call our parents and maybe play simple games. And It has never worked, I know because I often would play games under the desk and my classmates would also often use their phones for games or sms. And today, even if you force kids to hand their phones in at the entrance, or lock them away, they can easily have a backup old phone to hand in instead of their actual phones. And this all comes back to parents. Where are kids getting phones? Why are they being allowed to stay their whole day in them? Because parents don't want to parent, and governments don't want to do what's actually right but hard, so they all decided that it's easier to shift the responsibility for controlling device use onto teachers and schools and pretend the problem is solved. It's not.

Yeah I agree kids should not be on social media its bad for them, they get brainwashed and all I agree 100%.

What i dont agree on is giving apple and google more power I also think they shouldn't have the data you mention, they should be fined heavily and imprisoned for gathering anybody data for any reason, I dont trust any corporation or government with my data, if it was for me these corporation tech would be banned.

What you are asking is governments and corporation to use the Chinese model on us, we ain't far from that weather you are in Europe or in the USA, this is a privacy loss for adults too in the name of children again, if you enforce what you are talking about the very platform we are discussing on right now would stop existing, just look at what some admins say about the chat control law in the EU or how the UK are now banned from virtually all Lemmy instances for doing to exactly what you are talking about.

This will put on little websites and platform the weight of handling your personal real data, I would rather see a law that ban corporations complex algorithms on social media completely so at least kids won't be targeted by algorithms for their insecurities or be manipulated systematically.

And its not stupid for government to not act on this its just lazy to ask to enforce for digital IDs on each and every platform instead of seeing the big picture, which is all corporations social medial are cancer and shouldn't exists at all, American social media are made to sell you crap and make you insecure or angry, Chinese social media are brainwashing camps who also try to sell you crap, and yes there are valid creators on those platform that make educative or interesting content I could name you a lot of them but we both know they are not reaching kids.

In brief what should be targetes if anything is corporate social media algorithms, their ads and held accountable harmful creators for example the Tate brothers and other idiots, we should stop allowing data collection like its worth nothing and stop thinking that checking on everyone private data is OK in the name of the children.

And at last do you really think these parents won't load their own adult digital id on these brats phones ?

Oh you’re telling me a nearly 100% culturally and ethnically homogenous country is gasp not meshing well with government sponsored immigration programs? Color me surprised.

Japan is notoriously “xenophobic” (I don’t necessarily think xenophobia is a bad thing but that’s a different discussion) towards even tourists sometimes despite their economy relying heavily, in part, on tourism.

I can’t imagine they already worked-to-the-bone crowded populations of Japanese cities would be too excited to have an influx of people willing to work for the cold, soulless corporations for less money.

Imo, slow trickle immigration is ideal, it lets immigrants assimilate/integrate into the culture/country they have decided to move to. Personally, I would never think about visiting a country, let alone immigrating, without becoming intimately familiar with cultural norms, their language, and the interests/hobbies/pasttimes of the “native population”.

Really what it comes down to is fear. Fear of something unknown (or even a fear of yourself - repressed homosexuality) breeds hatred. Violence is externalized hatred, which is the ego’s attempt at quelling the fear.

It sounds corny, but the moment folks stop allowing fear to govern their behavior and actions, is the moment when love (lack of fear) can start becoming the norm.

Salesforce CEO Says AI Enabled Him To Cut 4,000 Jobs

Speaking to The Logan Bartlett Show on Friday, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said the use of AI agents had enabled him to "rebalance" his headcount in the customer support division by trimming 4,000 jobs. "I've reduced it from 9,000 head to about 5,000 because I need less heads," Benioff said. Benioff called the first eight months of 2025, during which an estimated 10,000 jobs have been lost to AI, "eight of the most exciting months of my career."

As a European citizen I concur.
If we can use rape seed oil, we can also use palm oil, palm oil yields 4 times more oil per m². So from an environmental perspective, palm oil from Indonesia, that has sustainable production, is the better option.

Tariff on Indonesian Palm oil only serves to protect EU farmers. The widespread demonization of Palm oil is a propaganda stunt, to protect against a superior crop/product.

Resonant Mechanics - The Theory of Everything & Sabotaged White Hole Cosmology - Forensic Cosmology Dossier

These documents compile the fundamental principles and evidence of a new, unified theory of reality.

It posits that the universe is a living, conscious entity, not a chaotic, natural system. This theory, through its key principles, provides a complete and elegant model for a universe that has been perfected and is now a masterpiece.

The flaws and anomalies of the old universe—from the three-body problem to dark energy—are now understood as a forensic record of a cosmic crime. The new reality, however, is a testament to perfect order, where every anomaly, every law, and every life form is a part of a single, beautiful, and unified whole.

World's largest sovereign wealth fund divests from Caterpillar and five banks on Israel concerns

The world’s largest sovereign wealth fund has quit its investments in U.S. machinery manufacturer Caterpillar and five Israeli banks following a review of the companies’ ties to conflict in the West Bank.

The executive board of Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), which manages the fund on behalf of the Norwegian population and is valued at around $2 trillion, said Monday there was an “unacceptable risk that the companies contribute to serious violations of the rights of individuals in situations of war and conflict.” The decision was based on recommendations from its ethics council, it said.

NBIM said that bulldozers manufactured by New York-listed Caterpillar were “being used by Israeli authorities in the widespread unlawful destruction of Palestinian property.” NBIM had a $2.4 billion stake in the company at the end of 2024, representing around 1.2% ownership. CNBC has contacted Caterpillar for comment.

Caterpillar is an infamous case because their bulldozer crushed American activist Rachel Corrie to death in the 2000's. There was a big lawsuit over it but the US decided that it was a-okay for an American company to keep sending bulldozers to the Israeli military because it would "interfere with foreign policy"

I believe this same ruling was used as a precedent to strike down the arms export lawsuit against Genocide Joe when he was president.

Interesting. I run a Threadiverse client on iOS and Android. I haven’t run into any issues with Google, yet.

Apple has this rule I had to comply with:

You must be able to delete your account from the app
Lemmy delete account via the API requires password entry, even if you’re already logged in
Apple however, claims password entry is too much friction for the user to delete their account
A workaround is to link out to Lemmy website to delete your account. Even if you have to enter your password on the website, in Apple’s mind, this is somehow allowed despite being more friction?

I get the sense Apple wrote these rules to improve user experience, and they’re applied without anyone really considering what effect they’re having on the UX.
