It seems Gen Z is just fine with parents knowing where they are all the time

  • True but most of the time I don't have GPS enabled anyway lol

    • It seems Gen Z is just fine with parents knowing where they are all the time

  • We just verbally check in and I'm totally fine with saying where I am. I believe the important thing here is trust. If, hypothetically, we were able to set up something privacy-respecting that communicated my GPS location to my parents 24/7, I wouldn't be a fan of it. It'd feel like my parents are monitoring me because they don't trust me to be truthful about my whereabouts.

  • I'm 18 and fine with my parents knowing where I am so we can coordinate mealtimes and stuff. I really don't care for having a third party spy on me 24/7 though. We just Signal each other "I'm at xyz location, be back soon" and that's plenty enough.

    Kieran Tierney joins Real Sociedad on loan

  • Arteta is doing him so dirty... I wish him well fr

    • Americans say this is the most valuable money lesson they've ever learned—but many aren't putting it into practice

  • Thanks, saved me a click

    • Recommendations of non-Apple products with similar longevity?

  • Mine works perfectly otherwise too, thinking of giving it to my grandma so she can use it at home. Huge shame...

    I knew about the class action lawsuit but I live outside of the US :C

    Good luck getting a new laptop, hope it lasts!

    • Recommendations of non-Apple products with similar longevity?

  • Dude did you get the HP Envy x360 too? My hinge failed a year in, I got the panel replaced, a year later the hinge fails again. My screen hasn't cracked but I can't close the laptop anymore... Gonna get a Thinkpad L14 and hope it holds up a bit better, since Thinkpads are known for decent build quality.

    Anyone else also experiencing this issue? I can browse All just fine from my account on another instance.

    What would you tell your 18 year old self?

  • I have braces right now and it's very uncomfortable to have anything stuck in there, so I do take extra care of my oral health at the moment. Fortunately I'll have free dental care for the foreseeable future, given that I'm going into uni and then healthcare (this is how it works where I live).

    Agreed on lifelong learning, I want to (somewhat) be able to keep up with the world changing as I get older.

    • What would you tell your 18 year old self?

  • I turn 18 in around a month... I guess I'd tell him to take care of himself and keep working on being less anxious, though I doubt he'd actually do it.

    • I want to be a professional, but not seeing trans guys in successful positions is disheartening.

    • Without using pronouns (me, he, she, it, etc) or articles (a, an, the), how did you come up with your user name?

  • :D

  • Instance name lemy.lol. lol thought would be funny.

    • do you use revanced?

  • Small instance.

    • do you use revanced?

  • I would but my first gen iPad Air is too old for that, I think

    • Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good?

  • I'm studying to be a doctor specifically to avoid working for hugely unethical corporations. Even if I end up in the private sector (public healthcare is mostly free here), it'll be easier to justify saving lives vs. working for a defense contractor.

    • do you use revanced?

  • All the time. At this point I'm waiting to replace my second hand iPad with an Android tablet so I can achieve a truly optimal YT experience.

    • When you notice Lemmy is quieter than usual, then have a look at the Lemmy.world status

  • I'll be sure to start doing that.
