If AI takes all the jobs and there’s no universal basic income, everyone’s new job becomes “freedom fighter”/“terrorist” depending on your leanings.

I’d quote your whole post but what’s the point?

Sorry I didn’t write enough vitriol to make you feel better? She’s a hateful person. It’s a YOU problem that you need other people to talk shit at a level that pleases you. I’m just here to support pirating an asshole’s content if you feel the need to consume it.

It feels like too many people in this community want you to talk just…like…them. Its not enough to call a bad person a monster and an asshole who should be stolen from? Look inwards. You shouldn’t waste time attacking me for not being angry enough in my messaging for your liking.

Eh you’re just a jerk. I owned a Cosby album 30 years ago. The context of my comment would make it obvious that it predates public knowledge of his crimes.

I get it. You dont. But its because your are being intentionally obtuse. Like there’s no way to convince someone who makes up facts to be mad about.

Learn what “idolizing” means if you are gonna use it… it certainly isn’t what a person is doing to someone they call a monster.

It sounds like you just hate the content and are using the authors shit behavior as an excuse to talk shit about the content itself. Get some perspective.

Liking a story doesn’t make the reader support all the viewpoints of the author. In many cases, the purchases were already made before her opinions were widely known. Just like how most of us probably inadvertently supported Wienstein before discovering what kinda monster he is, or the thousands of examples of bad people that produce content over the decades. I owned a bill Cosby album, and its still funny, but he’s a monster.

Because they just do. People like what they like. Don’t yuck their yum.

The best we can do is encourage responsible methods of enjoying it… like denying the creator their royalties now that we know what they spend them on.

It’s a nasty can of worms that never should have been opened.

Systems in between are subject to manipulation via their vast wealth. The only way to diminish that is dissolution of superPACs and heavy regulation of all systems that allow cash to flow into politics.

All this also doesn’t take into account how creators gets paid.

It’s a big system, with enough moving parts that I understand the ad/pay model existing. I just wish they weren’t such prices about how they choose to operate it sometimes.

I agree. Everything being advertised on YouTube is sketch. Same with all the repeated podcast adverts honestly.

The fact that youtube hits me with an ad for a game that says everyone thinks its fake, with the most bullshit sounding voice over, tells me they are happy to take money for obvious scam products.

It does ruin most things doesn’t it? 😮‍💨

😆 And here I was think I wasn’t giving anyone any credit. I just proclaimed none of us could be trusted!

Seriously though…

I think the fundamental problem with the AR glasses is something that can’t be overcome.

I think its easy to see the utility to owning a pair of glasses that look good and provide real time information as desired for what you are looking at or hearing.

HOWEVER, I think very few people will want the product these co.panies will make. This will be a method to throw ads literally in front of your eyeballs. Enshitification is too big of a thing now and so any new product is tainted by the expectation it will rapidly turn to garbage at a high price to you.

Also, while we may think we can be trusted, we dont trust anyone else having all that info, I dont like the obvious privacy implications that these can present. Filming with them is also terrifying.

I was getting a stable 30fps on mid settings. Having played at home at much higher resolution, I see you lose a lot, but its still very playable.

It plays well on the steam deck day 1 as well, if that matters to anyone here. I played the first 2 hours on my deck from work with no issues.

Shaders took like 10 minutes but the rest of the load times were all fine.

He’s both a subordinate of the Anti-Christ and Russian asset. He was called upon to kill the pope to initiate the Pope election process that they can manipulate in order to get a more “pro-apocalypse” Pope in place.

Exactly! I dont give shit if he killed people on camera and confessed to a crowd. He has to go to court.
