I’d love a VR/AR headset to (mostly) replace my desktop monitors tbh. Love the idea of being able to have a 2 or 3 monitor setup without having to manage all those physical screens. Nothing is really “there” yet for me, especially for the price.
Other than that? I can’t think of much, besides gaming.

You’re on it now, bud. It’s here, you’re in it. Welcome!
Neither Amazon nor Google are not part of the Fediverse. If you use their suites of software, you’ll be part of their non-federated, closed systems.
Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Threads, and many, many others are Federated, but not the big corporate entities… Except Threads, stretching out from Meta’s own little digital fiefdom.

Well, that’s a little unfortunate, then. Here’s to hoping it does eventually get there 🤞 I’m just happy to see the decentralized, non-profit internet grow.

From the Wikipedia page on the project, there’s a quote from this Twitter thread from 2019, where he says he’s potentially interested in adding native support. Hopefully that comes at some point, I’d be happy to try it out if it does.

Then Congress would appoint the President. If, somehow, a Congress was also not elected, then the states would likely send delegates to do the same thing.

A nice first step. Here’s hoping they make a Mastodon account next.
- Comment on I'm a US citizen, people in other countries, what do you think when you read stories like these about the US health care system? 8 months ago:
I’m getting the impression that a lot of foreigners think the American public generally supports the current healthcare system. We don’t.
Complaining about our healthcare is practically a National pass time. We all want something better, but it’s also one more problem in a burning pile of problems, which we have few tools to fix.
Some good news, is that we’re making some small progress on that front. We’re finally begging to rebuild our unions, which were dismantled decades ago, and the American public is becoming more politically engaged. Hopefully, these trends continuing a positive direction, and are resilient to being torn down again.

There is some small progress in that direction, but the organizations which would allow us to actively act have long ago been dismantled. We’re only just recently begging to rebuild our unions here. I hope this time, organized labor is more resilient.

In our defense, the Republican “half” of the country aren’t actually half the country. They’re the smallest of the 3 major political affiliations among votin-age Americans: “None”, “Democrat”, and then “Republican”. In that order. “None” is the largest single political affiliation in America, and that has been a kind of negative feedback loop in our politics. People are disenfranchised and feel disconnected from the governance of our country, so they don’t (or can’t) vote, and because they don’t vote, they’re not represented in government and are easier to disenfranchise. This, and rampent legalized bribery, have created a great deal of our problems.

Nationalize YouTube.
Specifically, nationalize the backend, Google can keep their website. And place it in the hands of something like the UN, rather than any specific country. I hardly trust Uncle Sam any more than Google’s investors. They’ve successfully monopolized video hosting, now turn it into a public resource.
- Comment on HP sued (again) for blocking third-party ink from printers, accused of monopoly 10 months ago:
If they cannot be trusted to compete fairly in the market, they should not compete in the market. Dissolve them, nationalize them, I don’t care. We can’t afford this bad behavior any more.
