Nextcloud has a Notes app too

“9 out of 10 workers support the policy” he decided to imagine and then say out loud

TLDR: Don’t use phone apps

(I did actually read it so TLDR is inaccurate for me)

Not in my experience. Just do it and don’t worry about it.

Rygar was weird as fuck. That guy running around cloud lands, throwing out a spiderweb looking bonker thing. I never understood what I was doing on that game.

The only one of those responses you listed that might not make people upset is this one:

‘I don’t talk about religion, politics or my private life with coworkers and I hope you respect that’

All of the others are going to go over poorly, if you are concerned about that.

Streaming in general is great. Streaming services are a mixed bag of results, but overall our options are excellent at this point in time. You can have streaming services with no contract, pay for one month and abandon it if you don’t like it. There are also numerous FREE streaming services with lots of great content.

It’s important to understand the above in the context of how it used to be before Streaming was an option. There was basically only the option to have a cable or satellite TV on contract, or use OTA antenna TV, or watch everything on disc / tape. So yeah I think streaming is great.

Having said all that, I buy anything I want to keep perpetually on disc. 4k Blu-ray for movies and CDs for music (I bought 3 albums on CD over the last couple weeks). Games don’t fit on discs anymore so I try to get stuff on GOG when it works out.

It’s because those old games are good and fun

That’s not just Lemmy, it’s all of social media that isn’t focused on people’s self-promotion (Instagram, LinkedIn etc). The leftist stuff is fairly accurate, but that’s not a big deal to me.

Social media algorithms have driven the content engagement, and they figured out that controversy and anger drives the most engagement, so that’s what the algorithms tend to push to drive engagement, to get more ad revenue and data from people spending more time on their platforms.

I’ve gotta get busy posting dick pics then

You seem to be ignoring the fact that those millions of square miles are actually occupied, in many parts other than the cities. I don’t care what you do with your big cities, and I don’t know who you’ve seen protesting the alleged 15-minute cities, but the rest of our huge nation still has to operate as well. That’s why we have cars.

Well I have both but I prefer the car when it’s raining.

Shit I remember reading about MRAM at least a decade ago. I thought it was going to be the next big thing to advance computers, but it never showed up outside some rare industrial use cases.

The great thing they could do with that is have RAM that keeps its data while powered off. You could possibly turn your PC on and off like a lightswitch, instead of booting up over a number of seconds/minutes. But now that we have NVME SSDs and stuff, we are already getting close to that

“Replace your car with a bike” is also basically limited to only single or childless adults who live in an urban area with everything they need nearby. Because if you have a family or more than a few miles to places you need to be regularly, you’re going to have a much harder time without a car. So it basically is not applicable to millions of Americans, with our massively large square mileage of country that we occupy.

Hell if I know, I don’t even know what all it can do. There are probably dozens of things it can do that all kinds of laptops can’t do though.

I don’t use 3D modeling for my work but I can see how a 3D stereoscopic display could be highly useful for scientific research, as those have been part of the high end Nvidia Quadro GPU feature set intended for scientific research for many years already. Those would be coupled with a 3D monitor, and that kit of 3D monitor and Quadro GPU probably already cost more than the Apple Vision does.

Basically I assume it can do all the 3D VR and AR stuff that laptops can’t do in general. Whoever needs that for their office work might buy it, but I don’t need one.

Why in the world do you think this is supposed to be a mobile product? Just because it can run on a battery doesn’t mean they intend for consumers to wear it around town.

My impression is that it’s for use in the home and/or office. I wouldn’t walk around town with anything worth thousands of dollars out on display and I think most people are similarly minded.

Sounds like you don’t know much about the VR market in general. It is actually a popular segment of technology that has been growing and improving for decades.

It’s not going away, and Apple may have the next level of the technology already on the market. IDK but I’m not buying one. I already have 2 other VR headsets that do all that I need. I play VR games on my Index system about 5 times per week. It has superseded my interest in almost all 2D games.

I also know several other people from young to middle aged who have VR systems and we all quite enjoy being able to make use of the tech.

That’s why the media pushes every news about shootings to the top of the front page, they want you to be scared of guns, so they can trick you into giving up your gun rights.

Never give up any rights, period. Rights are not something we get handed out on a frequent basis.

I live in a rural area too, and there are at least 3 farmer’s markets within 25 miles of me. I would assume it’s common in most similar areas.
