They do call it “open source” in the docs though.

Yeah I noticed it in the favicon too. Bad aftertaste.

I know, and yet the code is open source. Confusing.

Paywalled article. Here’s the link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.pocketpc.nearbyglasses

Edit: it’s licensed under a license I never heard of. I’m curious, I don’t understand why it was needed.

“Why draft new licenses? Until now, there has been no standardization of this kind of source code license, even though it has become increasingly common. This has resulted in confusing and overlapping licenses, which need to be analyzed one at a time. Lack of standardization has used up the time and resources of many in the software industry, as well as their lawyers. The objective of the PolyForm Project is standardization and reduction of costs for developers and users.”

Seems like that exact XKCD about standards.

It’s teaching them what’s good to consume or not and how to tell the difference by themselves that’s important. Teching them how to think basically. So parenting. Not watching them, not spying on them asking “why that site”. Parental control filters only work for so long, but they help. My experience using parental control however to limit screen time only is that it only taught our kid to absolutely completely use whatever screentime she had. So kind of addicted. But, now she’s a teenager very good at telling what’s toxic. For the little story for the past 9 years i’ve been a remote cybersecurity engineer. She practically grew up with me in the next room working on 5 screens at once, there was no escaping it. But, I was always around so we always talked. It helps!

I look forward to these posts/emails every week, keep up the good work please :)

Good on mobile but on desktop the UI is way too big i find
