(source: www.ted.com)
For years, the warning has been: smartphones are destroying a generation. But developmental psychologist Candice Odgers says that decades of data on teens tells a different story — violence, alcohol use and pregnancy are at historic lows, and research shows social media may not actually be the culprit for mental health problems. Hear her analysis of what’s really troubling kids these days, and why banning them from online spaces may make things worse.

https://codeberg.org/martenlienen/emcpI have built an #mcp server for #emacs. With EMCP, your coding agent can ask Emacs about function definitions or read the manual instead of coding from memory. But it can also evaluate code and take screenshots to understand problems or verify the UI that you are building. If you are uncomfortable with an agent RCE'ing your Emacs, you can accept or reject each code snippet individually after checking it or choose a tool profile that excludes the eval tool when your agent connects.I have been using EMCP for a couple of weeks now …
