People keep asking me, and I haven’t really had an answer, but now yeah, I’m thinking I’m back.
Science fiction author Neal Stephenson, who coined the term “metaverse” Metaverse inventor
That’s not what inventing means. That’s like saying George Lucas “invented” hyperspace.
This isn’t even the actual article headline, it’s “Head-mounted VR hardware will never happen, says Neal Stephenson - who coined the term ‘metaverse’”. OP?
replaces it with an AI-generated version assembled on the fly. The user never sees what your team built
Oh good, DLSS 5 for websites. Just what we needed.
A little holier than thou don’t you think? Like I’ve got existing hardware and I’m leaving Windows. If (for example) Bazzite doesn’t work on my hardware, you think I should go out and buy brand new hardware to run Bazzite? Or maybe find some way to extend the lifetime of the hardware I have?
I mean you even admit yourself that you moved from one Android OS to another. You bought a new phone every time you went from Cyano to Lineage to Graphene?
I’d love to put Lineage or Graphene on my phone, but neither one supports it. I think these OS fall prey to the “losing the hardware lottery” problem that Linux has, a term coined by @[email protected]. So imagine a world where we do get Linux on a phone, how easy it would be to lose that lottery.
The Z axis adds more than just a direction. Thrust, Lift, Stalls, Icing, Wind, Clouds, Precipitation, Temperature, Humidity, Radios, Communication, Flight Planning…
Car manufacturers got really good at adding crumple zones to cars to avoid injury to their occupants. Car design knows to avoid putting the fuel tank in places that could cause it to combust. What crumple zone can a flying taxi have that protects you from hitting the Earth during a stall? Where can they put the fuel such that it doesn’t explode on impact with just about anything?
The same FAA whose air traffic controllers Republicans have been shafting since Reagan, yep.
Linda McMahon: “boy do I have good news for you!”
Any argument that the voters themselves are wrong is an indictment of democracy itself.
That’s a lot of words you seem to be putting in my mouth there friend. These aren’t mutually exclusive ideas. I can blame voters for not showing up to the polls and still see the value in a democratic government.
If Palestine is getting bombed no matter what happens, the only voters who are coming out are the ones who want Palestine bombed.
And I thought I had the hot take, holy shit. This is simultaneously an argument to disenfranchise ourselves from the democratic process AND the assumption that those who did participate in the electoral process, regardless of their actual beliefs, are automatically pro-genocide. I’m actually astounded that this is your argument. This is a greater rejection of democracy than anything I said. It’s insane.
Thank you for providing this insight. My grandparents did not speak English, I can only imagine that they were similarly disinformed by the limited access to media from their native tongue.
Of course I’m blaming the voters. We had a job to do, a responsibility which we clearly failed to do. Our job is to make the best decision possible at the voting booth, not wait for idiots to make the decision for us while we make popcorn and complain we didn’t also get candy and a soda.
Gaza is almost certainly not the only reason. We also have Latinos for Trump, the Right Wing Podcast pipeline, endemic sexism, and endemic racism to thank.
There was only one?
Captain Matteas Torres runs DHS?
I have never been more insulted than an AI dating app calling itself “Fate.”
John Connor be rolling in his grave.
I was going to point to @[email protected] lol
Text can’t capture the emotion and vulnerability that Alec put on the line here. A summary betrays the time and effort he put into making the video. He’s even got carefully crafted subtitles in case you watch it silently.
This made me laugh. Americans do forget they put their founding documents on a pedestal, when to the rest of the world they are just a series of essays and letters.
Well… I can’t say his complaints were unfounded! Maybe he swapped to a different instance, maybe Mastodon tools got better since then, who knows.
Watch the video.
I got bad news
