Don't worry too much. If you follow basic food recommendations, even those given out 60 years ago, your child can grow up fine. Even if you only follow it just half the time. Basically, all those articles have to be taken with a grain of salt. What kills you is: smoking, drinking, tanning, long periods of only junk food. And those seem to affect you mainly after age 25. Children are remarkably sturdy.
The post seems to refer to a very specific subset of demoscene:

iPhone is this phone. Easiest to use, customer-friendly, options for limiting apps, large icons etc.
But for some reason, despite the dominance of Android phones on the market, custom smartphones being released almost every month, you want the foolproof layer to be stripped from iPhone. Why?
>>iPhone is this phone. Easiest to use, customer-friendly, options for limiting apps, large icons etc.
And no one is forcing you or your elderly relative to jailbreak it.
>> you want the foolproof layer to be stripped from iPhone
No, I want you(and me) to have the ability to strip it.
>>Why?
Because I want to be able to jailbreak the device I own and run the code that I write without asking Apple for their blessing. It's not any more complicated than this.
Got your point. Is it because Apple is the biggest vendor that does not allow that and you believe they should as any other or because you like iPhones, are happy with owning one but want (reasonably) to have full control over device that you own?
It's because I'm a developer and I want to make apps, publish them and sell them to people without asking for permission from Apple. You know, just like you can make a part for a Mercedes and you can sell that anywhere without asking for permission from Mercedes.
I assume you didn’t have experience of your older relatives being targeted by professional criminals. I’m not talking about online honeytraps, in some countries these gangs will mix offline and online schemes (e.g. pretending to be social workers, driving my grandma to the bank, buying her a new smartphone to get access to her online banking, which were stopped by her luckily “forgetting” her current smartphone/banking PIN code).
That’s for Eastern Europe. I heard a similar line of reasoning for banning rooted phones in Asia and it’s easy for me to relate to that. It seems as if first-world hackers here just don’t grasp how low criminals can and will go.
I'm also from eastern Europe. This scenario you mentioned wouldn't be stopped by your inability to jailbreak the device. A criminal gang willing to go this far will just get your relative to send them money directly, or buy gift cards or send a western union transfer or literally just give them cash. Or like you said, they will literally buy your relative a new phone to set up for banking.
> work only happens when in crisis mode
That’s a textbook case of ADHD behavior where one can only do things when urgency hits a threshold.
It seems as if you are concerned that medication may remove this urgency, resulting in zero work done at all. Positive scenario is that you would not need the urgency to deal with what you deem important.
Sharing my account as a fellow ADHDer that cycled through some drugs.
I ended up with 30mg Elvanse (European analog of Vyvanse). That’s minimum dosage possible: I was prescribed higher before but side effects made it uncomfortable.
Alternatives that didn’t work:
- Dextroamphetamine pills, immediate release: short effect, jittery, pronounced crash
- Ritalin: feeling of being overstimulated and uncomfortable, inability to focus
- Strattera: closer to an antidepressant, sexual side effects (no pleasure when ejaculating), brain zaps
“FOI is for administrative documents to increase transparency in government. Detailed 3D scans a museum does for research or preservation isn't an administrative document.
If you want a 3d scan of these statues, there's a lot of them around in scannable places like parks etc. If you just want to win, you're wasting everyone's time for no good reason.”
To put it differently, imagine the museum trained a RodinGPT on artworks and other data. The activist now bases his claim to the model on the fact that the model is a document.
The other commenter didn't answer any of the pertinent questions, namely, on which legal document they based their answer on what a "document" is and isn't. And one of the replies [1] points out to a possibly relevant EU directive against that point.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but saying "FOI is not meant for that" is the type of answer that requires some solid evidence that the other comment didn't provide.
Re: what "FOI is for": see my previous comment above excerpting from FREEDOM OF INFORMATION IN FRANCE, LAW AND PRACTICE
Re: a hypothetical LLM:
French FOI law covers all document formats. The CADA and courts have routinely recognized that documents produced by the government in formats such as audio recordings, x-rays, photographs (of submerged shipwrecks, no less), application source code, and computer algorithms may be considered administrative documents, communicable to the public.
So, if the French government produced an LLM and front end then, yes, that LLM model and its front end would be an administrative document, in principle communicable to the public. To me that does not seem improper or difficult or strange to imagine.
This discussion doesn’t make sense without looking at the actual French law. Just saying that the scans shouldn’t count as a document because it would lead to weird edge cases doesn’t mean the law shouldn’t be applied as written. You can’t just not apply active laws because you don’t like the outcome in a state where people are suppose to trust the law.
