> It’s called parenting.

There are multi-billionar dollar industries targeting the attention of your child. Many adults have problems resisting.

Are you using any technical measures to limit what they can see or do?


I’ve got three kids, albeit two somewhat older. It’s not a panopticon prison. There’s trust. The social media thing just isn’t a big thing for them. They all use WhatsApp and that’s about it. I mean one has instagram and that’s marketing for part time job while she’s studying.

Edit: just asked her and she’s on book 7 this year. That’s a whole lot better for you than doom scrolling.


A risk of what?


Is it open source?


Meshcore isn't, the firmwares are proprietary. Meshtastic is, but they whine about trademark stuff all the time and cry when anyone mentions Meshcore in their channels. LoRa radios themselves are all proprietary Semtech turf. I guess it's possible to run over 2.4ghz but the range predictably sucks compared to 900mhz.


Meshcore is open source. It’s « some » of the apps that are not.

What, protocol? Basic apps? Yes.

It’s “open” but not libre or patent unencumbered.


That's interesting. That's the first time I've seen a "[deleted]" comment. IIRC, HN would just disallow deleting if somebody replied. Maybe this is from replying on an already deleted comment.


I've seen a couple in this post overall. Strange.

How would you reply to an already-deleted comment? I guess the "comment" still exists but the content is deleted, and then if I click <Reply>, you delete your comment, and I post my comment, some sort of really slow race condition occurs.


I think it still does, but maybe we found a bug. I might have commented at the same time they deleted?


Probably Meshtastic people sending DMCA takedown lol. I could imagine HN moderation would have to delete it.


It was my comment. I deleted it, but I was surprised to see the ghost of my comment.

Deleted it because it was a shallow complaint about LoRa being proprietary. However, looking closer, it's not that bad. The physical layer is unavailable, but the link layer protocol spec is downloadable by anyone. Meanwhile, DASH7, an open-source alternative, requires you to be accepted into the alliance before letting you download the spec. Might be a simple thing, but they do advise requesting membership with a company or university email.


> this started in the iOS app store and was "adopted" by Google

I can see prices for in-app purchases in the iOS App Store.


Where? Just checked on every app I've purchased in app unlocks and none of them have any indicator for these unlocks (or others that are still available) on their app store page.

The only way to see them - from my experience which I just verified - is to go into the app and go into the relevant menu's of the apps.

Please explain where you're able to see this information on the app store on iOS or iPadOS


It's in the app store's app listing, just under age rating. It says "in app purchases: yes", which you can expand to show all purchase options.

Is this maybe only available for some regions or opt-in for the developer? I this UX doesn't exist on my devices running on 26.2 in the apps I checked. I just verified again but no luck

/Edit: found it! that is way too hidden - Would never have found that without your explicit mention and gif link!

After exploring some more on the play store too, There is actually a similar UI in the app details there too, it doesn't list all items but the price range (cheapest item to most expensive item). Definitely worse then having all items listed, but both could be improved imo by listing them as repeatable purchases, temporary licenses, forever unlocked etc) for informed consent before install. I'd never install any app which has repeatable transactions for example

That poor Christmas tree. Whatever happened to it?
