It’ll be hilarious in several years time when they’ve completely abandoned the entire VR multiverse concept, when they have to explain to people what their company name means.
“Well you see, our king lordship decided that we must set fire to several hundred billion dollars, there was nothing else we could do with it, so we did.”
is there a titlegore magazine here? Because this belongs there.
I would be amazed if it sells for anywhere near 40. I bet it launches at closer to 60.
Getting close to that 2021 release at $40k purchase price?
Hmmmmm I wonder where all that heavy debt came from? Chin scratch I wonder why all the companies don’t want to advertise here anymore? NOBODY KNOWS!!!
I’m not sure I understand wireless trackball. The only reason I wanted a wireless mouse was because I didn’t like the drag and the pull from the cable. That doesn’t exist with a trackball. I much prefer wired for a keyboard because similarly it doesn’t move so doesn’t require charging or batteries.
Maybe I’m naive, but I can’t imagine there’s a huge market for wireless trackballs?
It flopped, they killed it, brought it back, killed it again, relaunched a new division for software only, then killed that. That’s big brain business management right there. Pichai has been the biggest failure of a ceo I’ve seen in a very long time. It’s really incredible.
I’ve always wondered how you actually enact this on a technical level. So lets say I’m on my phone (not on wifi) in random town X near the state border in Virginia or Miss. What if the tower serving me the data is in Kentucky, or WV? Does the tower now triangulate every single device and try to ban one single website’s dns down to the geo zone? Doesn’t seem possible to me.
DING DING DING! WE HAVE A WINNER! That’s exactly what the Republicans want. They are fully well aware that they don’t represent the average educated voter’s interests. Therefore, the best way to stay in power is to perpetuate poverty, ignorance, lack of healthcare, suffering, anger, and misguided hate towards fellow neighbors. This keeps them in power.
“we were getting data pillaged” … LOL I wonder what on earth that means in his feeble mind.
I’m pretty happy with my Tumbleweed installation, and I don’t think I’ll be leaving anytime soon.
Also recommend Tumbleweed. I’ve distro hopped for many years, and currently am using Tumbleweed and have no plans of leaving soon. It really is the best I’ve ever used.
I wouldn’t recommend doing a Hyperland setup right away on first time ever using linux. Just run with KDE or Gnome for a while until you’re comfy then you can try Hyperland. The reason I say this is check this page:
https://wiki.hyprland.org/Useful-Utilities/Must-have/
“Must Have
This page documents software that is critical / very important to have running for a smooth Wayland / Hyprland experience.
DEs like KDE / Gnome will do this automatically, Hyprland will not (because you might want to use something else)
A notification daemon
Starting method: most likely manual (exec-once)
Many apps (e.g. Discord) may freeze without one running.”
So you have to do a LOT more setup and configs to get Hyperland up and running. Just use KDE lol. Tumbleweed rocks with Plasma.
Linux has made astounding improvements to its every day usage in the past few years. There really truly are several distros now that you can install that “just work” out of the box. And with the modern DE’s, the user won’t even know much of a difference from the windows or mac interface.
I have such mixed feelings. Happy that there is visible weakness in Putin’s power, which could maybe lead to his eventual removal from power which would be amazing. Very frightening though that the ones replacing him might have the same goals as Putin, except this time, actually be competent at their jobs. That’s a horrible outlook for Ukraine. Oh man…
Exactly, I’m sorry Mr Jabroni, but I gotta agree here. They have burned every ounce of goodwill long ago. Don’t give them an inch.
what I love most about the metaverse dying before it ever even launched is how that fucking moron zuck renamed HIS ENTIRE COMPANY after it!!! bahahahahhahahahahah ohhh that aged like milk.
I really hope a larger court implements a certain (very soon) date that these must be settled by, or by default twitter loses. It’s not fair for them just to throw their arms up and say “we’re too busy” and do nothing.
I think it’ll live on for a while, but eventually nobody will use it, so it’ll be just “hey remember when we used to use x?” and lol about it. Wayland is the future, so as more distros go Wayland by default, it’ll slowly switch over.
Another vote for newsblur. And you can use it either as a backend+frontend, or just as a backend and then use a modern “reader only” app as the front. It’s super configurable.
That’s not really true. When it first came out, before the ads, before the algorithm, when they embraced 3rd party apps with an open api, it was really great. It was full of techy personalities and interesting folks. Hashtags were fun to follow, live events were amazing in real time, so much more. That was before it got inundated with politics and celebrities though. I think that honeymoon phase only lasted a tiny while, then it all went downhill into the outrage machine pretty quickly. But for a quick minute there, it was glorious.
