What do you mean to say? It's not clear to me.

We don't use any parental controls. Our kids have always been very trustworthy. I disabled all Google parental spying and blocking for my son as soon as the age limitations would allow it. (My stepdaughter was under the thumb of her father's monitoring for a long time. She had to face his wrath when she turned off location sharing with him on her iPhone... her second year of college.)

We had to brow-beat my son into getting a WhatsApp account so he could chat with his classmates (his actual friends use Signal, but WhatsApp is what group chats mostly use in Holland). 😅

That's what my son's school does.

We've had a mobile phones ban for students in the Netherlands for a few years now. Our kids have been scared away from social media by my wife's ingestion of fear-based mainstream news and by my anticapitalist ranting, so it doesn't really impact them. 🙈

Slightly better, since presumably adults at the school have mobile phones, instead of having to use the limited land lines.

The problem of being distracted in class can be solved by having two phones? Weird!

"locked PDF"... " upload to Claude"... 🙈🙉🙊

When the EU mandated USB-C, Apple included a bullshit adapter so they could keep their proprietary charger. But of course if someone with an iPhone was visiting my house they wouldn't have an adapter with them. Eventually the EU bitch-slapped Apple over that nonsense and now iPhones have USB-C for charging.

So, companies will definitely try to weasel out of serving consumers, and the EU will eventually sort them out.

Which was 32 of 35.

I mean sure if you bothered to read it and not just ctrl-a ctrl-c ctrl-v.

Yeah so maybe literally every student used AI but 3 read the output before submitting.

Why not just say "32 of 35 students"?
