  • Just wanted to add that sleep as android has a lot of options for dismissing your alarm including scanning an NFC tag or solving math problems of various complexities. Additionally it has extra controls you can enable so restarting your phone doesn't bypass the alarm. A wide variety of Monday wake up torture is available.

  • I recently was looking for apartments and got a lease which included a clause to pass property taxes onto tenants, including any new taxes introduced while you were a resident. The additional expense was counted as rent for non-payment purposes. Another clause placed a lien on the contents of your unit upon nonpayment. Absolutely insane slumlord shit in some nice new apartments. The landlords must be stopped.

  • There is only one thing I'm paying attention to with the Vision Pro at this point: use in public. When the Quest 3 came out people did stupid stuff like wearing it at amusement parks and ordering coffee with it on, then stopped cause it was just for the memes. I really hope people stop being such fuckwits with Vision Pros but I'm afraid they won't because Apple status symbol.

  • Forget the technical details. I work in a corporate security department and if yours finds out what you're doing there's high odds they would absolutely hate it. I mean it likely isn't an issue for org security (assuming they're using bitlocker appropriately etc.) But not everyone over security is so rational and there are edge case attacks which may even trouble more sensible individuals. Either get permission, expect to do this in secret, or better yet just don't.

  • Really exciting to see someone working on this. Though my immediate reaction is - not skepticism. Concern maybe? Similar projects in the past have hit walls in scope creep, lack of funding, and ocassionally lack of direction or differentiation. A truly well rounded social VR platform is far more complex than meets the eye. Even neosvr/resonite has run into large slowdowns and difficulties in stealing public adoption away from the totally centralized and closed behemoth that is vrchat. More recently I was sad to see Thirdroom (based on matrix) abandon development. Still, all the best to the project and I will definitely follow it closely.

  • Personally I see appeal in virtual worlds and a bit of the asthetic. But putting screens on everything isn't sustainable at all. I guess cyberpunk is a sufficiently abstract concept for everyone to have their own qualifiers for what counts.

  • I will pay for premium when it means they will not sell my data and will allow me control over my algorithm to prevent it from playing to my vulerabilities. Since they won't change, I won't pay.
