Why would a gaming react andy get a TV deal? It doesn’t make any sense what are his credentials? Yelling? Catchphrases maybe?

I couldn’t see anyone in my family using a CLI, they’d either be scared of it or get annoyed that they have to remember things. They’d quite happily spend all day clicking around a GUI to avoid 5 seconds of scary terminal words.

Oh is that what we should be calling the dude from Saltburn?

It’s been viable for enthusiasts for a while, but the reason it’s not mainstream is most normal people just don’t want it. It’s clumsy, cumbersome, the content is generally poor, and it’s either a Meta product or very expensive for something that’s ultimately a gimmick at the moment. Not to mention the “metaverse” tarnishing VRs image.

Even Apple couldn’t make it successful with today’s tech. Best case scenario IMO; company’s starting long term VR moonshot projects right now might have something with mainstream appeal in the distant future.

VR won’t be viable until it’s transparent and unobtrusive; a contact lens, for example. A giant headset that you strap on to your face just isn’t appealing to most customers outside of the initial novelty factor.

Devils advocate, not my actual opinion; if you can make a Thing that people will pay to use, easily and without domain specific knowledge, why would you not? It may hit issues at some point but by them you’ve already got ARR and might be able to sell it.

+1, it’s hot garbage and I don’t know why anyone would use it. You’re better off trying to randomly guess the URL of the content your looking for because that’s probably more likely to find it.

If you mass edit, it’ll get restored from older versions - pointless really.

Find your top 20-30 posts and comments and manually edit them. Make them sound real, but at the same time contain complete bullshit. Anyone, or any thing reading them will be misinformed- not by you but by reddit thus making reddit less valuable.

To really be a thorn in reddits side we need to be actively, but subtly malicious.

Sony AI has been a division of SIE for quite a while now. They were training AI to play Gran Tourismo years ago.

After a half hour long conversation with my 63 year old father, I can confirm it’s the instances that’s confusing people.

A big heat sink like they used to put on WD Raptor drives.

Hotmail still exists?

Coding in Ansible?

Where might one find more information on this?

Not to defend Elmo but I feel like that’s a fairly normal thing for most species? If our ancestors didn’t have a breeding kink we wouldn’t be here.

At the risk of sounding like a shill, I like Kagi.

When my elderly, and tech illiterate family ask how to switch from Windows; I’m sorry but I’m not telling them to use Linux because they’re going to harass me nonstop for tech support.

At best this will be the year of macOS, because there’s a store I can send them to for all their questions.

This why it pays to use a search engine that lets you blocklist sites

Ah another day, another Cloudflare cockup. It would be nice if the service that insists on MitM’ing a huge chunk of the internet could focus a bit more on stability.

Very cool and they should keep doing this, but no one’s CPE is going to be able to do anywhere near this speed unless they plan on giving everyone large enterprises routers for home use.
