Same for mobile, but I also use the website when I’m on a computer.

100%. Transitioning from making all decisions for your kids to becoming a trusted advisor is something you need to do intentionally over time. Let your kids make low impact decisions when they’re young. Offer guidance as needed, not all the time. Simple examples include what to have for a meal/snack, where to go for a play date, etc.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•"I'm socially liberal but fiscally conservative" - What do you think when you hear that?
112·9 months ago100%. I want to loudly point out that you saying ‘jailing poor people not isn’t fiscally responsible and doesn’t benefit society, the money would be better spent giving people a better shot at success’ is a great example of social liberal (make society better) and fiscal conservative (don’t spend money on stupid things).
And building credit is useful to set yourself up for future purchases - a condo/house, car, whatever. The whatever here is bigger than it semese, as having a decent credit score can let you finance all kinds of things at a pretty low rate, if not 0% even today. If you’re saving any extra money in an investment/retirement account, and can pay off your 0% financing offers in full by the time you would start to owe interest, financing at 0% is a great deal even if you have the cash on hand to pay outright.
Using old cards is important - if you don’t use them the issuer might close them. I had that happen with my very first credit card. My next oldest account was something like 5 years newer, which at the time was a pretty big gap because I hadn’t yet reached quasi-old-far status.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why does it feel like Elon is artificially boosting his companies?
0·9 months agoAlthough much of Tesla’s value recently was from a big jump in November (getting a fancy new oval-shaped office will do that for you)
I don’t think many people realize just how big a jump this was.

Linux@programming.dev•Kagi is Porting its Orion Web Browser to Linux
1·9 months agoProbably because they’re building their own engine from scratch. Many of the popular browsers these days are built on Chromium or Webkit. The only “big” alternative these days is Gecko, which is what Firefox uses.
This matters because Chromium based browsers make up the vast majority of usage and Google has been using Chromium to drive web standards in the direction they think they should go.
Wikipedia has an overview, but doesn’t really cover Chromium’s market capture. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_browser_engines
10/10 explanation. I would add two things.
First, there is a massive amount of variation in “normal” people. I’m personally of the belief that we spend too much time classifying people and that can set unreasonable expectations. Just because someone was/wasn’t diagnosed as <x> does not mean they will neatly fit in that box.
Second, there are cultural norms and elements that interplay here. I am a New Englander living in the Midwest. I consider my communication style to be direct and frank, which means that I try to objectively say things as they are. I grew up being interacted with this way. This style of communication is somewhat contrary to the norms of the Midwest, which can result in people interpreting me as being confrontational and lacking empathy.
