Learning is never useless!

ETA: I use Colemak, so I’ll see if I can find something default or if I’ll have to find something more piecemeal.

No. Fuck Facebook, and fuck Zuck. There isn’t a world in which they would federate and respect our privacy.

See how they build internal user profiles for users not on Facebook through tags and other metadata scraping techniques. If people you know talk about you on Facebook, there’s a shadow profile about you out there, waiting to connect with you in real time. I have no reason to think they wouldn’t do the same kind of shit here.

This. All of this. It’s fine if the goal is to let the active communities bubble to the top organically, but that doesn’t mean much if people can’t easily find them.

It would be nice if there was a way to load-share communities among the instances or something, kind of like a mesh network.

It’s been great, honestly. I had Garuda on a laptop I was using to stream from a local Desktop, and it worked better for Remote Play than Windows 10.

You gotta be on the nightly-builds repo to get it.

I don’t think it’s an agenda, I think it’s just poorly delivered. The facts are:

• Teen hacks corps using a Fire Stick.

• Teen has done something novel with proprietary hardware.

I think it’s safe to assume that he’s intelligent and creative based on those two things. With proper guidance from the right kinds of people (including parents), someone like that could eventually put those talents to use on someone’s Red Team, or working with an intelligence agency, rather than doing something illegal to stretch their wings (fuck big corporations, but the law is what it is).

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to note that his talents will be wasted by grinding him down in the justice system.

You won’t get interoperability without people creating these kinds of apps. There’s no reason Company A would futureproof their platform to communicate with apps that don’t exist, because that’s unnecessary development; the interoperability comes after the platforms exist. Email is a prime example of this.

So, I disagree that it’s pointless.

As far as people with lower-end systems being unable to enjoy newer titles, I’d like to point you to the prolific and endlessly creative indie scene. Yes, you may not be able to play the latest AAA “Skyrim Ultra Remaster DX: Penultimate Boogaloo - GotY Edition,” but there’s lots of gems out there that don’t require the latest GPUs.

But as for realistic graphics, there’s actually an aspect you may buy be aware of: game companies actually influence the movie industry. Because games not only have to deliver realism but realism in real time, they have to constantly invent new techniques. The movie industry picks up these techniques and makes better movies.

Plus, IMO, improvements are always welcome. Death Stranding had some of the best mocap I’ve seen in both the movie and videogame industries, and don’t feel those improvements were wasted effort.

Real talk: what does “leading” actually mean? Because if it’s like 4% of the generation, it’s not much of a paradigm shift.

I was told not to talk to strangers.

No, I just watch content from evolutionary biologists, because it’s something I’m interested in.

It may not be that our version of the species will be renamed, but since species delineations are somewhat arbitrary (where does one generation stop and one start, when it’s actually a gradual process?), future generations of biologists may decide that we are something else. Either way, we won’t be around to know!

The D’ni.

I’ve heard from other evolutionary biologists that the next gen will be homo sapiens sapiens, and we’ll be renamed something else.

This current version of humans? No. But could it ever happen? Absolutely, if we assume our future evolutionary human descendants survive and provided we can supply everyone’s needs.
