  • I used to do a lot of research in 3D imaging, and my take is that passive stereoscopic glasses were always destined to fail because they cause eye strain for too many people. And that eye strain is usually caused by the fact that the focal point is fixed, and a lot of eyeballs fight that when they see a three dimensional image. We’re used to being able to shift focus at will with real-world 3D space.

    This problem doesn’t impact everyone, and it’s not as bad with immersive experiences that keep items sharp in the foreground and background, or with films that don’t have interesting shit happening the background.

    That said, it’s a really old and well documented problem, and I don’t believe we have affordable varifocal viewing solutions on the market yet.

  • The one that’s lower on the map. The bottom will be the top.

  • “The golden era of 3D home movie releases”

    The era was never golden. Most people did it a handful of times, got a headache, and never did it again.

  • California’s GDP is 50% bigger than all of Canada.

    I think CA would be the top in that relationship.

  • Won’t happen. This is to distract you from his appointments aimed at revenge and grifting.

  • The appointment of fascists to the FBI and conspiracy theorists to government health jobs.

  • I guess that would be a fast way to get things like universal health care. Add a bunch of voters who will be shocked by how much shittier the American alternative is.

  • This one is tricker to undo. But he’s an authoritarian and he has court that likes his authoritarian policies, so who knows.

  • Moderating at scale is a nightmare, and they have 2 billion daily active users. Fuck Facebook and all, but I don’t know how you do that job without accidentally misclassifying a ton of users and posts.

  • Your cardiovascular system thanks you.

  • I wonder if the fact checking has actually helped, or if people just assume that they’re being censored by “they.”

  • A many of us are not surprised by this. They’re technologically inferior, underfunded, malnourished, slave labor conscripts, from a nation that hasn’t fought in a modern military conflict in decades.

    They’re a meat shield designed to deplete Ukrainian ammo.

  • People are not bright. If a source they trust says something is bad, it’s hard to back track.

    Shit, a lot of people still think egg yokes substantially increase blood cholesterol.

  • Now if only we could build way more new residential units in CA.

  • lol, a “coordinated attack?” Because the UK government really feels threatened by 2 chud influencers selling supplements?

  • This is going to go down like a lead ballon, even with the 60+ year old MAGAs.

  • The damage is done. The conspiracy nuts will just believe that the all mysterious “they” are trying to hide research.

  • The top 3 are all this.
