i think most users need more screen blocking control than they get out of the box on iOS. tools like one sec [1] have been invaluable for me. [1]: https://one-sec.app/

Yes, but most importantly I need to manage my children’s devices; it cannot be opt in and it mustn’t be possible to disable without me approving. Screen time is too easy for kids to work around as is. I also need in-app content type filtering (eg. no shorts, no music videos on music streaming apps) and literally no one is providing such options, not to mention it should be managed in screen time, too. Parental contro…

i do not have children to provide a meningful reply to the points raised, though i hope others do.

It's because you're new. Powerusers can downvote and even flag comments. A couple flags and the comment is (by default) invisible. Enough flagged comments and your comments are flagged by default. There's a reason this place is called orange reddit

Sorry, but 50 day old accounts shouldn't so confidently (yet incorrectly) explain HN to other users. This is not really how it works.

Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

Sadly a few have started doing this on HN now. (Short low effort comment agreeing with parent comment) I wrote more about this here...

I think it's possible to do it ethically, but anything that works is going to get gamed. It's a pretty dark dystopian future where the only way for anyone to hear about anything is advertising or paid promotion by influencers because we're so aggressive about policing individuals marketing themselves.

The evolution of European history is built upon the evolution of art, specifically in architectural history, music history, and painting history. It has never been reflected in the evolution of technology; even if technology has evolved, it is built upon the evolution of art, such as steampunk, atomic punk, and cyberpunk. All European culture is characterized by its art-driven approach. However, when, as is the case now, cultural evolution is dominated by programmers, geeks, and dictators, it becomes a dystopian phenomenon. Art-driven approaches represent the correct way of sensory perception and intellectual summarization, much like the correct methodology offered by Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Technological dominance, on the other hand, becomes an erroneous approach of abstract mechanics and objective facts, much like mechanical materialism encountering quantum physics. Remember my words.
