🗨️ Am I Doing this Right?

A: Research suggests a difference between scrolling through social media ... watching an educational video ... and playing video games.

Q: My 12-year-old is witnessing bullying. How can I encourage my child to be a positive agent of change?

A: “When kids have confidence that their actions will truly make a difference, they are more likely to step up ....”

So, question for the fediverse:

I moved out 10 days ago. Relationship has been over since October. Ex cheated on me repeatedly while basically bankrupting me, but I'm the one with the decent job and I cut her off except for generous child support.

How long is an acceptable wait time before I sleep with the 3 of her friends who are in my DMs saying "she was stupid she didn't deserve you?"

Asking for her 3 friends.

"On the surface, it doesn’t seem like a big deal. You hang out, have a few laughs. What’s wrong with that? But when you think about it, catch-ups can leave you feeling hollow. “You spend the entire time downloading life updates rather than actually being present together or creating new memories,” she tells Bustle."

I know almost nothing about Lana del Rey, maybe because I'm not 25. This song is a groove, a total earworm for me. The lyrics are refreshing in some ways: a pure celebration of love without a dark twist or ominous undercurrent. Apparently (thanks, ) Ms. del Rey has caught some flak for choosing to do take a fairly hegemonic/traditional wife-type role in her marriage (I think this is about her husband). The fourth-wave (?) response is that women can be who they want to be, so she can be this. But this better not be some MAGA-adjacent bullshit. I would find that very disappointing because I really like the song.

Aside: is song.link all crowdourced? I found so many songs there for a couple of years that I assumed it was running on code scraping songs from all over. In the past half year or so, however, I've found very few of the songs I've looked for. I finally noticed that you can post a YouTube, Spotify, etc. URL yourself.

OK..news from the "involuntary admin" front.

Infos I had from my partners mother:

"I can do nothing on my laptop any more. There's always a message 'no permission' when I try X or Y. And it said deleting cookies may help so I tried. But something went wrong and I was afraid to continue"

What I saw when I checked the laptop:

- Firefox icon in task bar and desktop blank
- Chrome icon in task bar and desktop blank
- Virus scanner icon in task bar and desktop blank
- All 3 programs didn't start although OS said they are installed

What they saw in my face:

"How the bloody hell..... wtf.. ??"

It took me 50 minutes to reinstall the 3 programs on her 2 core 4GB Win8.1 machine while the 5400rpm HDD swapped for its life.
And another 20 minutes to make her Gmail account accessible again without her remembering the password and not having a recovery mail set.

You know.. Time is my most precious resource. And just because someone doesn't care about how long a laptop needs to start a webbrowser because he/she can do the dishes in the meantime and therefore don't wants to buy new hardware doesn't mean that I feel the same while fixing other peoples problems.

So..to all customers of FamilyAdmin Inc. who might read this:

From this moment on my willingness to help you out depends on your hardware.

>= 16cores 64GB RAM: buy me a coffee
< 4 cores 8GB RAM: you better sell your house to compensate my pain

And ding ding 🛎️ , a lot of talk acceptance emails have gone out, plus a lot of emails we'd rather not have to send.

Due to budgetary restrictions, a lot of talks with high reviews may not be possible for us to schedule, so instead of rejecting them, we've asked the speakers if they could do the talks without support or with partial/reduced support from us.

But even so, the agenda is fleshing out, and looks amazing!

There's now also:

1. A cloud track
2. A secure development track
3. Even more workshops!

Thank you everyone for all of your fantastic support and submissions, you're making this thing happen!
