Same people who read Snowcrash and thought the Metaverse was so cool.

It was located in the city in which I live

“Hot singles in your area!”

Regardless of the effect on circadian rhythm, I wonder if there’s any research on eye strain. I personally felt less strain when turning on dark mode or sepia filters, even in the evening.

Ah, fair. More between the web hoster and the ISP, rather than between the ISP and the customer.

Anybody have a good explanation of how the Cox communications case intersects with Net Neutrality? It seems like they would go hand in hand, a service provider has to provide the same service equally to all of its customers, regardless if they’re pirates are not. But I haven’t heard Net Neutrality come up in online discussions in a long time so.

The author is way too generous offering their services to the Trump administration. The app is a massive security hole by design. This administration is not your standard business client, they are the attacker that you defend against.

If your adversaries buddies haven’t already done this analysis, they’re having a slow good week.

Yeah I figure it was something like that.

I got bad news

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?
