Historically I'd say Emacs plugin system predates atom and sublime, and was certainly as impressive in its flexibility.

it's also important to remember that different kids have different needs. Some kids can handle it fine, others may be more at risk due to past trauma or developmental delays.

I do agree it's all about teaching them safety and guiding them rather than forever sheltering them.

What's most dangerous is completely leaving them to fend for themselves.

I have spoken to multiple parents about how dangerous this "game" is.

I tell them that I'd let my kids walk across times square in NYC alone before I'd let them play Roblox.

Honestly times square is pretty safe these days, but it seems to be an effective analogy to other parents emphasizing the kind of danger that roblox presents.

Don't worry it's completely different now. Martha retired so now Mary Ellen sends the emails.

It's comments like these that make me wish that fedi had some kind of downvote system.

@Wizard_Pope oh yeah they do that for everyone. It's a safety feature called puny code.

people were using weird chars to impersonate well known domains for phishing, so if you register a domain using unusual or mixed language characters it renders it as puny code to prevent spoofing.

@EmilyIsTrans @lena

sounds like firebase itself is a hack.

I'm honestly embarrassed by my fellow devs more often than not these days.

What the fuck happened to craftsmanship? Or taking pride in your work?

oh right, techbro startup culture garbage ended it.
