I've been using this for a few days now, and while I love the speed, I have experienced a couple of glitches with the file list e.g. duplicate files/folders shown, files missing, especially after doing a bunch of move/copy operations. I would have expected hitting F5 to refresh the view but I had to close the application and open again (blazingly fast) to get a fresh view of the folder's contents. It happened in side-by-side view, if relevant. Presumably some bug in the caching mechanism, at the very least I would force F5/refresh to do a fresh query of the current folders' contents and display correctly.

How many under 16s read newspapers or watch news anyway?
All you need to do is look up the mental health stats since the iPhone release to see why parents are massively concerned. There has never been a time when an alert parent didn’t have a fair idea of what info a kid was exposed to. This is why going to university is such an awakening.
Now the parents basically need a background in infosec to stop their kids accessing hardcore porn, violence and other mind bending content. That only works in your household. Do you stop play dates? Single your kids out as weird by banning all device use?
Societal norms do not move at the speed of technology, so regulation needs to be applied unless there’s another alternative.
> How many under 16s read newspapers or watch news anyway?
Adults do, and the OP's argument is that everyone (not just U16's) will be driven away by the changes. Being asked to provide ID may result in some just noping out or not signing up to newer services when they otherwise might have.

Nothing really to add... other than the type on that page looks gorgeous.
Really? The headings look mediaeval

The article seems to conflate sex and gender while the study is paywalled so I can't tell how they defined male and female. The study does seem specific to sex and doesn't mention gender at all in the abstract.
Without those definitions it's basically saying "things we grouped a certain way ended up grouped that way" which isn't really a useful result.
This is a lazy take.

My start menu hasnt even worked for over a year on 2 seperate computers now.
What do you mean when you say it doesn't "work"? You click the windows icon and nothing comes up? It displays but nothing is clickable? On 2 different machines? Really? This seems like hyperbole. It sounds like there's a specific feature that doesn't work for you as it used to, but instead of describing the issue you've thrown up your hands and declared it to not work. If it truly does not open or respond to clicks I'd love to know about it and retract this comment!

Btw I moved from Sourcetree to Fork. It’s very similar but way more performant and smooth UI (unless ST has improved in last few years)
I like GitKraken, except for the fact that it lacks the ability to show first parent only, i.e. `git log --first-parent`. That feature is available in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code (Git Graph extension), but I don't like these as much as GitKraken, so I end up switching between command line, GitKraken and VS/Code. It's a bit of a mess. Does Fork support `--first-parent`? It's especially hand in merge-heavy workflows with very noodly graphs that you want to simplify.
I clicked around a couple of links within that site and it looks like an absolute dog's breakfast on my mobile.
Nearly all loans I have seen have a provision in the contract that the entire loan can be called at any time.
What? No they don't!
There are a few nice hints in the comments already, but I'd like to remind one feature that may actually be "the dumbphone" experience but more modern.
Ultra power saving mode on Android.
It may differ from vendor to vendor, but in my experience it works exactly like that (been able to use that in old Samsung, Xiaomi, Realme, Moto). It changes screen to greymode, simplifies launcher by a lot, cuts notifications, still allows to use a selection of apps, including gps.
It customizable - you can keep some color, choose which apps can be accessed (on my current phone up to 6), make calls, text or IM. As a bonus it takes a few days to drain the battery.
I use olauncher which has a super minimalist home screen. It doesn't block apps but it doesn't use icons. Instead you type the name of the app you want which I find makes me more purposeful with my phone usage. Turning off notifications for virtually every app also helps. If it's truly important I'll check it. Otherwise it's something I can look at once a day/week/month depending on the app.
