Yea way different times I see way too many tablet/smartphone kids younger than 10 these days. I am going to do my best to only do supervised screen time for learning purposes. No sceeens of her own until she is way older and even then might lock it down. Our timelines kind of similar I got my first PC when I was 9. I just kept playing with friends. There was no addictive social media or games. Even games now have no ending just continuously try to drain you. If I played a game it was to the finish and that was it. Early 2000s like you said were a different time.

Hope the pregnancy is going well and congratulations! I had my first child earlier this year. A blessing 🙏

if my kid was interested in programming, he would get all the screen time on a pc built for programming. but social media? hell. fucking. no.

would be a bit of work to figure out how to restrict the browser access but probably isn't that hard. just whitelist the good stuff, i think, and that would be that. stackexchange, go.dev, github, probably wouldun't be that complicated

of course my little one would be pushed to Go. haha, as if that would be in question. no javacrap for my kiddlywinks

Congratulations! 🥳

Yes, going great, less than 2 months left until our son will come out to play. We're really excited!

🙏 Enjoy it. I'm already looking back at pictures and saying wow she grew so fast 😂
