Never had one but have family who has their VR headsets and aren't really using them, borderline useless if you aren't willing to use their ecosystem. They were having some trouble with their accounts (probably related to account migrations) and seemed too unsettled by the paper wall of text about being part of an organization to unlock dev mode.
Brain preserved, revived (not "uploaded"/copied!) by someone competent and caring (a science organization perhaps) in hundreds of years, somewhere that's not complete shit assuming there is such a place still. I wouldn't mind staying in the VR-jar for a while for a slow assessment, training, and introduction to the future world and brain fixing etc while building connections.
A new form of life. A deeper connection to technology does not mean I want to abandon nature. If anything I want more robust microbiomes than humans have and whatever techniques can be borrowed from nature (photosynthesis or creation of other organic molecules, connect to mycelium network etc) for homeostasis or environmental management/living conditions. Which would allow me to focus on hobbies while my body mostly maintains itself.
Ideally I could exist as something comparable to the size of a microwave but could connect to larger bodies if needed. Or as an extra observer/backup shift/co-pilot etc.
I mean state of mind, judgement, and especially impulse. That's not to say caffeine has a huge effect there, but I could see it resulting in people posting things they may otherwise think 3 times about before moving on.
And another user mentioned ambien, so there are definitely more options.
No because the regret is mostly from a slight tone difference that I noticed seconds after posting, others don't care and if deleting keeps my name on it that just makes it look worse than it is.
In fact, those same pastimes are still available today.
That is glossing over a lot of context, a big one being that club membership is down (that's a big point of Bowling Alone). I would not be surprised if many clubs relocated or shut down due to low membership, especially after raising membership fees. Or y'know that they were already a middleclass thing, thus canaries.
Pubs are also going to rely on prices, but the most social ones likely are accessible by free public transit or are located in a walkable/mixed-use area (particularly cities designed before+not-bulldozed-for cars).
I don't think this is about awareness, especially when most people have less friends and less (or no) social engagement.
Personally (and from a US shut-in perspective!) I'd take it further: the social contract is broken. When society has been molded to almost exclusively generate money, the closest to winning there is when you're broke is trying to spend the least amount of money possible which surely will be solitaire confinement.
I don't think there's any easy fix, moving to a better area is an individual thing yet is also the core issue when it comes to transportation+rent+cost-of-living.
Wrong? Certainly not. But do you think spending the entire election demoralizing closest-to-the-left had no effect? (note: the iceberg of non-voters who aren't directly counted in the uncommitted movement)
This is not to say that the DNC strategy was great, but I am not sure by what metric your own was much better. Particularly as even from the beginning it seemed like a gamble, requiring Harris to win while also having notably high 3rd-candidate turnout.
EDIT: Newer headlines make this even more obvious:
'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees
Key leaders of the “Abandon Harris” movement, which encouraged voters to oppose Kamala Harris due to U.S. support for Israel during the Gaza war, are now expressing unease about Trump’s incoming administration.
concerns are growing over his Cabinet picks, such as Mike Huckabee and Tulsi Gabbard, which some see as troubling for Muslim communities.
At this point I think the greater issue is that fans didn't learn from Starfield (or FO76, arguably FO4/Skyrim too at least enough for a trend line if you care about the RPG aspect of it). Why would Bethesda ever change course if they continue raking in money? It really seems like people aren't even waiting for reviews.
I was going to say that it'd be a coin flip on if this actually has the same re-occurring bugs that the UOP fixed, though I see that it's going to be 3rd-party so that may change the odds a bit.
Yes, but also I don't have much programming experience or even viable beginner project ideas. Also interested in polygonal art but lacking a project doesn't help with that either.
I understand fragmentation here, as you can get what you need in a format that works well-enough.
Different package formats often have technical differences. Recently I had the choice to use something from a flatpak to reduce lib32 dependencies on my system... but I didn't go with that as the other dependencies it needed (openGL, graphics driver etc) were redundant thanks to sandboxing (~2GB download!).
Anything native from itch, GOG, or humble doesn't really 'install' but rather they are just extracted... so the files should be what it is (portable, except game saves/user data likely won't be). This allows you to run it off of a slower+larger-capacity drive.
EDIT: Also if you need to compile it, probably will also just compiled to where you put it (to a bin folder).
Non-system stuff like this is more viable for things that you don't need updated frequently/ever (particularly games/software post-development). For sure most-of-the-time the best experience is via your package manager.
Hey, I updated recently and it seems like it's now fixed for me on X with driver version 565.77 (not that it's necessarily the exact fix version, and it may be a systemd fix too).
Meet the new internet,
same asit's regurgitating the old internet.
