It was lovely to meet some of you yesterday in Lisbon. If you are not yet part of our Discord, you can join us there.

Happy to hear more of your questions and help you get started with trying to figure out how to use dat in your project! 🖤

Sharing progress.

JZ: JS→WASM

• Functional JS subset
• No runtime, no GC
• Competitive with V8 / AssemblyScript

Nearly complete (69% test262).

The stories dont matter.

Pear Runtime is getting seriously easy to embed into desktop apps. 🍐

@mafintosh is dialing in distribution so it just works across desktop, mobile, and everything in between.

All open source, so you can dive in, explore the code, and start building. 🛠️ https://t.co/8IUuUu3C4W

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

That’s why Bare is small, modular, and now 1K ⭐ strong on @github

Is @JonHaidt really totally wrong on this ?

* Yet Another Massive Study Says There’s No Evidence That Social Media Is Inherently Harmful To Teens

https://t.co/yb1616yate

Techdirt reviews the 'counter' studies to the claim that social media harm children:

"Last fall, the widely respected Pew Research Center did a massive study on kids and the internet, and found that for a majority of teens, social media was way more helpful than harmful.

This past May, the American Psychological Association (which has fallen for tech moral panics in the past, such as with video games) released a huge, incredibly detailed and nuanced report going through all of the evidence, and finding no causal link between social media and harms to teens.

Soon after that, the US Surgeon General came out with a report which was misrepresented widely in the press. Yet, the details of that report also showed that no causal link could be found between social media and harms to teens. It did still recommend that we act as if there were a link, which was weird and explains the media coverage, but the actual report highlights no causal link, while also pointing out how much benefit teens receive from social media.

A few months later, an Oxford University study came out covering nearly a million people across 72 countries, noting that it could find no evidence of social media leading to psychological harm.

The Journal of Pediatrics recently published a new study again noting that after looking through decades of research, the mental health epidemic faced among young people appears largely due to the lack of open spaces where kids can be kids without parents hovering over them. That report notes that they explored the idea that social media was a part of the problem, but could find no data to support that claim.

In November a new study came out from Oxford showing no evidence whatsoever of increased screentime having any impact on the functioning of brain development in kids.

And we can go back further too. There was a study in 2019 that couldn’t find any evidence of social media being bad for kids.

But now we have yet another study to add to the list. And it’s a big one. It comes from the National Academies of Science, entitled Social Media and Adolescent Health. Eleven different academics helped put the paper together, along with another seven staff members who worked on it. This isn’t just some random report that a couple academics put together. It was a massive project. And it shows.

But the key finding:

The committee’s review of the literature did not support the conclusion that social media causes changes in adolescent health at the population level."

So, who’s the first person you’re tipping some Sats to on Keet? 🧡⚡️

[Dat Ecosystem @dat_ecosystem]

Hey Friends 🙂

The dat-ecosystem is excited to officially join the Apereo Foundation! This partnership—over a year in the making—brings our 25+ open source projects into a vibrant community that shares our values of openness, equity, and sustainability.

[Mathias Buus 🕳🥊 @mafintosh]

Today we open sourced our attestation module for @keet_io identities.

https://t.co/cPNSTG3LEq

Incredible stuff by team! With this primitive, devs can make social attestations like "Mathias made this Pear app" or "mafintosh on X is this user on Keet".

Much more to come on this, this is step one out of many.
Basically the beginning of a true p2p web of trust.

I'm making a memory-safe implementation of C/C++. It's called Fil-C. Currently working on making it fanatically compatible with C and C++ so that lots of programs can be made memory-safe with zero or minimal changes.
