Screen Time is a feature I'm quite proud of, but it won't be ready in time for the alpha release.

The reason is that we need to update our apps to support this, so don't fret, it will be ready by the RC 😉

I want to make Loops fun and addictive, but in a healthy and ethical/safe way.

This and new safety features will give our community even more control over the content they see, and who can see their content.

Power to people-first platforms 🙌

🖥️ 🧠 **Causal effects of physical activity and screen time on childhood intelligence via Mendelian randomization: The mediating role of intracranial volume**

“_Our two-sample MR analysis revealed a positive causal effect of moderate to vigorous physical activity (PA) on childhood IQ (β = 0.42, 95 % confidence interval (CI): [0.12, 0.72], p = 6.26 × 10−3), whereas leisure screen time (LST) exhibited a negative causal effect (β = −0.35, 95 % CI: [ −0.60, −0.10], p = 5.59 ×10−3). Reverse MR analysis found no evidence of causations._”

The Conversation U.S.

A Penn State researcher classifies screen time into four main categories: educational use, work-related use, social interaction, and entertainment. It's crucial to examine specific digital activities more closely to understand their distinct impacts on cognitive function and mental health.

Massive multi-wave study finds tiny, mixed, and mostly null correlations that make it even harder to defend strong, one-sided stances on #smartphones, #socialMedia, etc.:

Across multiple years, thousands of people, #screenTime
- predicted tiny increases in #BMI and decreases in both #sleep and #bodySatisfaction
- possibly predicted more #exercise and #volunteering

This pattern didn't depend much on #age (if at all).

And in other news, a critical analysis of Jonathan #Haidt 's #AnxiousGeneration that questions his methods and conclusions in his anti-screens manifesto:

Again, the simple binary " #screens or not" fails to account for the wide range of other behaviors that affect a child's wellbeing.

My young kids have high #screentime by anyone's metric, but their other hours are stuffed with enriching, positive activities that actively build their minds, bodies, and hearts.

Nice piece in Nature warning against Jon Haidt’s new book on screen time and mental health. The case he is making for screen time is not supported by the evidence, but it’s something that seems plausible and people will be happy to believe. Recently, it seems like these kinds of loose, associative stories are winning out over careful reads of the evidence.

www.nature.comThe great rewiring: is social media really behind an epidemic of teenage mental illness?The evidence is equivocal on whether screen time is to blame for rising levels of teen depression and anxiety — and rising hysteria could distract us from tackling the real causes.

Very nice interview with Pete Etchells about his upcoming book on "screen time" and moral panics around technology.

Working at a mental health facility, my colleagues and I sometimes talk about this as something to discuss with patients (and maybe do psycho-education on). But I think it's worth trying to figure out if it's a problem at all. The story is definitely not going to just be "screens are bad!"

This is Peterson. Underneath Peterson is the kid's ipad, which has lately become a source of strife. The ipad is not off limits, but using it would require destroying Peterson, who, being composed entirely of puppy floof leftover from a recent beard trim, is very fragile.

Peterson is entering his 3rd day of life today.

We have no idea how much longer our brave little hero will survive, but we salute him.
