  • Schon klar, alles Essig mit deiner Gurke. Aber da das ne Tastatur ist, wäre nicht ein 'S' genug gewesen?

  • No tracking please

  • They should focus on the browser and what made it great.

    Privacy and the option to configure it to your liking.

    Work on compability, speed, optimization, and compliance to the standards.

    Let the others hunt the latest trends, you won't beat Google on that front anyway.

    Those who want AI? Get an extension.

    Focus on the users, not buzzwords.

  • Society is Limited by Wage Slavery

    Jump

  • UBI is not the solution, but a great first step towards a better system.

    To make it work well, you need strong regulations on a lot of systems: banks, utilities, corporations.

    At some point it will be easier to just give the state control of everything concerning basic needs. Then to control institutions that 'fight back' the most against regulations, like banks and mega corporations.

    You see where this might lead?

    It's a slow way towards a better economic system without the need for a revolution.

  • Society is Limited by Wage Slavery

    Jump

  • We need UBI (Universal Basic Income). People should have the choice to work, if they want more money or love their job. Not being forced: a choice.

    If someone wants to follow a path that is not financial viable - be it art or just a hobby - that should be possible, too.

    Life would become better for nearly everyone. Art would get a new golden age, people would no longer fear financial ruin, happiness and personal fulfillment all around.

    Also paying people starvation wages or treating them badly would no longer work. Employees would have to be treated well or they would simply leave. Great wages and good conditions more or less guaranteed. People could support a big family and a nice house on a single wage again.

    The only persons not happy would be the ultra rich, the exploiter, the CEOs. Because this would only work if everyone pays their due and the 1% no longer hoard the wealth.

    I think this could create the best possible future, an utopia - if only our politicians were not bought and paid for. But sadly they are - and wealth only goes towards the rich, while we get poorer every generation.

    I hope I live to see the day when the people notice that the rich rigged the game and react accordingly.

  • It would be, if enshitification didn't exist. Who knows if McDo decides one day to reduce meat or other expensive ingredients? Or substitute ingredients?

  • end climate change

    Jump

  • Of course. Capitalism favors exploitation of the planet, since it's short term gain and the long term harm is hard to pin on the exploiter.

    Hell, most damage to humanity will be countered with tax payer money (as long as that's still possible).

    So: exploitation of the planet? Great business model - especially for old people who won't life till the worst consequences.

    Most companies don't look further than the next financial quarter anyway.

  • "Those rights don't count": Bovino says Pretti forfeited 2nd Amendment rights in fatal shooting

    Jump

  • No, they just want a 'investigation' (which, I read, will be held by ICE themselves)

    They should be on the war path, but since it's Trump they let him have a little bit "tyrannical dictatorship without a constitution" as a treat.

    This is literary what they claim to be all about and their reaction is "let's wait and see what bullshit they can invent to justify this"

  • metastasis

    Jump

  • Same. I was one of the original kickstarter backer. Never touched it again after the meta account got mandatory.

    I might get the Steam Frame and see how much has changed in the VR space.

  • People just discovering that the last land Denmark sold to the US was Epstein Island

  • Sure, if they had created for example a 'second life' clone with a very lax custom content policy it would have drawn in the pervert community to build their dream harem / larp orgies AND the house builder / interior design community AND the second life larper community.

    The question is, if big companies would still have wanted to advertise there. At least the virtual land would have been a bit more interesting.

  • metastasis

    Jump

  • I mean, it was doomed from the beginning. There was no vision, no problem to be solved, no benefit for the user.

    Why would the world need this VR space? For meetings or chats? We have virtual meetings and this adds nothing of value. For games? The graphics are bad (to allow more people to use it) and there are better VR games. For companies to advertise? You would need something to get people to go there.

    They should have created a benefit for the user first and if that is successful add more.

    They could have started with a Sims clone or a WOW clone to get people interested and invested before adding the rest. Selling virtual land only makes sense if it's worth something.

  • Convenience is relative

    Jump

  • One is a 6 month travel vacation, the other is 5 hours of boredom in cramped space. And before that comes waiting for the flight, stress with boarding, TSA, jet lag,...

    And you are supposed to ignore all that and work normally the next day. Or perhaps on the same day, or even on the flight.

  • I have a similar theory about star trek. In one scene there was a blurry picture and to sharpen it Ricker said: "Computer implement recursive Algorithm". That is equivalent to "Computer do something". So now my theory is that there is an intelligent ship with a genius AI that carries around humans that have regressed to toddler intelligence because the AI does everything for them.

    The ship is basically human daycare with lots of blinking buttons and moving pictures to keep the humans occupied while the ship does the actual (and probably boring) science.

    Starfleet Academy is basically teaching them technobabble and looking great in a uniform while the AIs do the real work.

  • “Abolish ICE” Is More Popular Than Ever. How Will Democrats Drop the Ball This Time?

    Jump

  • Trying to be more rightwing to get more voters never worked: the right demonized the Democrats, so they will never vote for them, while going even more to the right alienates the left.

    But they will try anyway because going left would alienate their sponsors and doing nothing results in loss.

  • What next, power supply shortages?

  • I built my PC shortly before the GPU shortage and plan on not updating till the RAM shortage is over (not that I could update earlier since money is currently an issue)
