I meant a successor to the index. Preferably standalone. The rumoured Deckard if you will. I'd like to update my headset and I don't want to buy another meta product. While it's true that the OP was about software, it locks out a branch of hardware from being viable.

I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you. I really hope Valve comes along and provides an updated non-meta vr experience.

Well, the article (at least in the free part.. I'm not making an account just to fact check this site) mentions two studies right off the bat and claims that they shed light on the impact of corporate trolls on Reddit.

"Two significant studies, the Pew Research Center study conducted in 2018 and the Computers in Human Behavior study published in 2020, have shed light on the prevalence and impact of corporate trolls on Reddit."

If you look up these studies, the Pew Research Center has a survey they conduct and although the article claims they interviewed 2500 americans who use reddit the actual study had only 2,002 adults. It was also a study about what sites they used. It had nothing to do with Reddit. In fact, if you switch over to the Detailed Table, Reddit wasn't even mentioned as a response. https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2018/03/01/social-media-use-2018-methodology/

I could not find a "Computers in Human Behavior study published in 2020" that matched the article's description. I did find a study published by them in 2020 about selfies and body image and especially snapchat. Once again, no reddit. But I can't say I found the article mentioned.

Then again, I can't say the articles mentioned exist at all. ChatGPT almost certainly hallucinated this.

This. It's only legal for GOP. If Dems try it, it's treason.

I think people should be free to run instances how they want.

My gosh this looks incredible! It makes me want a hot cocoa

Tinfoil hat time, but there's a possibility it does flip the setting for some users but not all. If they unilaterally changed a privacy setting to just take and share data it would get SLAMMED. But if it's just like.. 1/3 of the users and everyone else says no, that's not happening then they can get away with a lot. Not saying that's what's happening. But I'm not saying it's not what's happening.

I did not have it updated! I was on 192 something. However, I just updated it now and checked and the settings are still not enabled. So it did not change my settings on me. I previously had them disabled and they are still disabled after update.

Mine also didn't have this enabled

Thanks for looking into it! I was curious after OP mentioned but it seems like I'll just stick to obsidian +syncthing for now.

Yep! Like I said, a lot of the negativity is pretty justified. I just wanted to provide one positive for people to see.

There's a lot of negativity here, and a lot of it is pretty justified. But I don't hate the idea of paid mods. Like if there's a way for authors like the ones the made Enderal or other really big mods to make some money off of it that's really great. Is Bethesda going to be fair about them? Probably not. Is Bethesda going to be competent with the system? Probably as competent as they are at anything else (derogatory).

But at least it's a way that you can make some money back for your work where you don't have to worry about chargebacks from trolls costing you more than the donations they were originally giving you. And this can be a pretty big problem for donation driven works. Someone donates $1, 200 times. Then charges them all back. Paypal charges you $15 processing fee for each chargeback. And you can contest it but who needs that? If Bethesda can be the entity brokering all of it, then they are the ones that take the chargeback risk.

So in theory, I don't hate it. But it will all depend on the implementation and competency of Bethesda (not looking good here).

You will own nothing.

That's it. That's all they promise.

You just have to tell those people that purifiers are a scam, and that they actually make the air worse and they will eat it up.

As long as you don't clone someone's voice without permission, then you didn't replace any actors imo. There's a big difference between an indie production using this tech to reach higher than they could otherwise and Disney just not wanting to pay wages.

I've never considered the possibility of car mods existing! It looks pretty cool if you just want to go on a highway trip!

Thanks for the tips!

Hey this looks super cool! I don't know LaTeX or TeX, nor am I a programmer, but I do play D&D and would love to be able to make some item cards for my group. Any tips on getting started aside from the obvious of looking up what on earth LaTeX is and how to use it?

usually setting fire to parliament is treated a little more strongly than just "protesting"

"startup" and "healthcare" should never be mixed. At least in the way we have been talking about "startups" for the last years. Silicon Valley butt out.
