Of course there aren’t any reviews (not that I’d automatically believe them, anyway). While it sounds super exciting, I’m not super willing to spend almost 300USD for unverified tech. Somebody should send link this to Gamer’s Nexus to review lol

It’s crazy how little experts like these think of humanity, or just underestimate our tollerance and adaptability to weird shit. People used to talk about how “if we ever learned UFOs were a real phenomena, there would be global mayhem!” because people’s world views would collapse and they’d riot, or whatever. After getting a few articles the past few years since that first NY Times article, I’ve basically not heard anyone really caring (who didn’t already seem to be into them before, anyway). Hell, we had a legitimate attempt to overthrow our own government, and the large majority of our population just kept on with their lives.
The same AI experts 10 years ago would have thought the AI we have right now would have caused societal collapse.
Damn, had zero interest before but now I’m gonna go out of my way to actually buy his game
Literally the only times I’ve heard anybody say anything about it was basically when they first learn about it and giggle for a few minutes, then get on with their lives.
I think the only way the name could be any sort of issue was if they were explicitly trying to be “family friendly,” which would imply that it’s intended for either christian mothers or advertisers (we all know how the children feel about sex jokes), which, since this is Lemmy and we’re talking about FOSS software, I’m sure I don’t have to explain why that’s a stupid idea.
The internet is dead, or at least heavily necrotic, by this point. Aside from previously trusted sources that haven’t succumbed to the AI-generation hellscape, and even those trusted things are now so ad heavy that it feels like my back would break without my ad blocker on.
Lemmy and the fediverse I feel are better suited to absorb the negative effects of all that than any of the current monoliths.
Even though the eventually admitted their mistake with the whole “ManBearPig is real” episode, the damage had been done years prior. I haven’t watched many recent South Park episodes, but I hope they learned their lesson to maybe not ignore actual scientists next time.
From what I’ve seen, being a main character in one would suck way worse though.
30 years ago people were asking what use a redular citizen would have for more than a couple of megabytes of storage. So yeah I’m just going to assume AAA game powercreep.
I once mentioned “the joys of torrenting” to a friend and they immediately assumed piracy. I mean he wasn’t wrong, but the lack of love for more standard use of P2P is saddening.
I wonder if Google will just let microsoft have this since it’s still chromium, or put in some kind of update preventing them from doing it (obviously with a backdoor specifically so chrome can do it)
The fewer pixels this gets the funnier it becomes
I only use goigle when I’m specifically looking for a product, because that’s really all they’re good for. Ecosia is my default
And then in their appeal, they decided it was a good idea to insult the mods.
Great job OP, really making yourself seem like an adult with that one.
Man now I’m wondering who are the nerds holding up that last 29% of value it has. i can’t imagine that many people paying for verification.
Whoever you are: just let go~ let Xitter sink unceremoniously into the abyss~
Not only was it messy, but the point they were trying to make could have been boiled down to a few lines for each point and still have been understandable to anyone who’s not familiar with the VPN’s function. I do appreciate the call out for the true main purpose of a VPN (🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️) though.
I agree, which is why I’m kinda happy this happened. Big companies (such as Apple) are notorious for this practice, so now that one of them is a victim, well, I was gonna say “maybe something will finally be done about it” but we all know that won’t happen so at least we can revel in the irony a bit.
