If you’re concerned about the site shutting down, seed some of their torrents from their site so that it’s easier to re-launch it if it happens

10% of all crashes is definitively a brag. Crashes due to faulty hardware/bitflips is rare rare, generally I would expect that percentage to be less than 1% in any complex app

Nothing encapsulates the capitalistic moral decay of the modern world quite as much as this

Transgender, AuDHD, (secret third thing. Or maybe just bitcoin)

…I’m sure my 18 year old ass would process this information in a calm and reasonable manner, lol

It’s something to do with the lack of fats and a lot of sugar in apples, right?

When I’ve consumed alcohol, about the last thing I usually want is something sweet. But I would absolutely love something greasy. I’m sure it’s something with how the alcohol affects the body

Weed just makes everything taste better tbh

Edit: but I will say, that does give me a good idea for eating healthier when I’m high

The good place is a great introduction to philosophy

Democracy used to be an extremist position. Questioning the divine rule of kings in favor of letting the plebs vote?

Completely unthinkable

So, it’s nuanced

While I agree that AR glasses will become widespread, there’s still time to advocate for and implement privacy focused regulations. Especially early on as people are upset about the technology

While not perfect solutions, enforcing stuff such as recording LEDs and such are steps in the right direction

In other words, it’s why authoritarianism always fail

And capitalism is very specifically not a democratic economic system. There’s a hierarchy. The owners are the ones in power

You know what sucks?

In that AR glasses, in theory, are such an interesting technology with lots of potential, and certainly a piece of tech I would love to have and work with and on. Not to secretly record people, but to, well… augment my field of view with whatever digital tools or displays I would like. It would be so useful

It’s honestly kinda saddening to me that it most likely will get completely ruined by our current toxic relationship to technology. A step towards our ever increasing cyberdystopia, and not towards enchanting our limited lives

Obviously either way I don’t trust Meta, but an open-hardware device running a FOSS AR system? It would be nice…

I still hold out hope that this somehow could be resolved, and I would love to contribute to open software for these devices. Maybe one day soon-ish I will. My expertise should be well applicable, after all

Oh nice, good job on making and updating a community on this, I’ll keep this it mind

It doesn’t seem appealing tbh

…would it??

That article was an insane read. I couldn’t have written more unserious people if I tried

In that case reducing the amount of freedom the kid has is… counter-productive

It will just give more control to their parents

I feel like that’s something a lot of people are just not thinking about for some reason

There’s a simple explanation for the weird videos, and why the government didn’t want to talk about them. And it’s just it being experimental military technology

The president of the US also said that tariffs are paid by the seller

So, you know, not a high credibility

What’s there to be excited about? There’s no reason to believe aliens ever visited earth. Exist somewhere in the universe, sure. I’m very excited for any news from observations in space or the mars rover finding signs of life, but not on earth.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and so far, all we’ve had are som shitty low resolution videos which very well might have been either video artifacts, atmospheric natural phenomena, or just experimental weapons.

Really, it’s about laypeople using technical terms that they don’t understand, and the industry actively encouraging it

It’s a mess and it sucks
