There is potential here, maybe, in the future. But nothing really happening now. Outside of Beat Sabre and a couple of other fun kinda cool but then boring ones, my VR experience got stale quickly.
Important concept when it comes to communities like Reddit and Lemmy, and something to keep in mind when talking about online marketing and propaganda.
A handful of posters, relatively speaking, essentially shape global consensus, and many know that, so plan accordingly.
Karl Marx told us this would happen. Wealth ultimately will cut deals with other wealth, even evil, dubious foreigners, before giving up an ounce of it. They see themselves as the new aristocratic class, and unless you are willing to push harder than they are, they'll get their way. The last 40 years have been that happening slowly, now it's happening fast.
You're driving home in the rain. A deer jumps out and you managed to hit the brakes but still hit it, albeit having slow down to 10km or less. Slow enough that the deer is able to get up and runaway, but still enough to dent your car and crack a windshield. Any blood or hair gets washed away in the rain. Car runs well enough to get you home.
10 min behind you there is a hit and run and pedestrian is killed by a vehicle that drives off. No camera footage, no solid proof of who did it.
Eventually you come to a big intersection where there is a camera and it records your dented, cracked car rolling through 20-30 min after they estimate the pedestrian got hit. Ruh roh.
So you get charged with hit and run and manslaughter. There isn't a ton of ways to prove it's not you, even though it's clearly not. So your options are plead Guilty and get fucked, or roll the dice with Not Guilty, probably lose, and get fucked extra hard.
Alfred plea is basically hey I can't prove it but I also won't admit guilt. Prosecutors know they can't prove, specifically, it's you, but also can't rule you out, so people cut a deal.
Lol same thing happened to me about 6 months ago. Overheating and/or a failing M2 and system corruption. btrfs got weird and troubleshooting only made it worse.
"The easiest explanation has to do with asymmetric information.
By now, almost everyone in America knows Trump and has made up their minds about him. Recent polls have found that nearly 90% of voters say they do not need to learn more about Trump to decide their vote.
But they don’t yet know Harris, or remain undecided about her. More on this in a moment."
Uncomfortably prescient in many ways, esp. related to technology... But also still full of wingnut BS about other stuff. Worth a read, though, if you're bored
