  The good place is a great introduction to philosophy

  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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  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 in mind

  It doesn’t seem appealing tbh

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

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

  So, you know, not a high credibility

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Really, it’s about laypeople using technical terms that they understand, and the industry actively encouraging it

  It’s a mess and it sucks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is indeed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It is beautiful!

  Sex is natural and not something that’s aesthetically inferior to other things

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The sun is a deadly laser...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It probably would never appear green, due to the black-body radiation distribution. When the peak is at green, it just looks like white to us. Our sun is kinda a “green” star due to this

  But it would go from blue to white to red. Similar colour progression that we can find in the distribution of stars

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But for the games without DRM you can just download them and run the executable. Bypassing Steam

  Sure, if you stop using steam you can’t re-download or update the game, but if the game didn’t have DRM, you can just keep copying the existing executable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At least personally I don’t really see how the threadiverse is more toxic than reddit. Though it may be because my instance is simply good at blocking the toxicity away, and the instance their chose isn’t. Which could be something to work on I suppose, but moderation is always a big discussion in these situations, with some people not liking moderation but also, in reality, wanting it

  As for niche content, that, unfortunately, is just a catch 22 situation. No simple solution other than to simply get more people to join

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People who do that truly don’t actually want an alternative, huh?

  They just want Reddit under new management

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Womp womp womp womp⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, in a lot of fields it simply would pay more to go private lmao

  Still, it feels more rewarding to contribute to the scientific body than to just make someone else rich

  In EU new installments using refrigerants with GWP of over 150 will be straight up banned next year, at least for home usage

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Gave FBI Keys to Unlock Encrypted Data, Exposing Major Privacy Flaw⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because if a company gives up profits to be nice, another company will swoop in and get inherently rewarded by doing the profitable thing instead

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A new cooling technology freezes food without warming the climate⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Modern refrigerants don’t use R134

  I question whether we are rapidly approaching the point where Linux is simply easier to use in a safe, secure, and practical way for the average user, because it doesn’t try to actively fuck you over like Microsoft does

  It’s easier when you don’t need to jump through hoops to make a local account. It’s easier when you don’t need to turn off a dozen settings you might not know about regarding data collection or advertisements. It’s easier when you don’t have an antagonistic system that treats you like the product, not a user, not pushing you towards confusing things you don’t want

  Yeah, I remember th same thing as a freshman, it was not any different lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨aspirations⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t think that. The seemingly adults think that. So often I see people complaining about kids and their brainrot, and it’s not from the kids themselves

  I’d you’re talking about cloud computing for gaming specifically (as you can of course use cloud computing for, well, everything), then maybe it’s not good enough in the US, I don’t know enough about that area to say, but networking is definitively more than sufficient in Europe.
