If you truly want to see “everything”, it’s best to join a small instance that is federated with everybody. I joined an instance called Rammy. It’s nothing special in and of itself, just one guy nice enough to host the server. But I can interact with Beehaw, Lemmy.ml, Lemmy.world, Lemmy NSFW, all of it. So if that’s what you want, join a small instance.
I think our generation will definitely have consoles set up in nursing homes when we are elderly. No doubt about it.
So far, the highlights for me are Super Mario RPG remake, and a new Dragon Quest Monsters installment!
Niche, but for Fire Emblem there is Serenes Forest forums. Very active!
Jesus, is that really what they’re using? 😳
And just to add to that, anyone who has installed Linux before knows that everything isn’t guaranteed to just work out of the box. Laptop WiFi cards, for example, frequently have driver issues. So it’s not quite as simple as OP is saying, even with PCs.
One day Doom will be able to run through carrier pigeons.
“Reddit represents one of the largest data sets of just human beings talking about interesting things,” Huffman said. “We are not in the business of giving that away for free.”
Wow. Clearly Reddit now believes that they own all of the conversations that people have had on the site. That explains why they’ve also been restoring comments that people have deleted when leaving the site. That has major implications for data security, privacy, and even safety in some situations.
This episode has revealed Reddit’s true colors, and they’re not pretty.
Wow. Memory freaking unlocked. I had forgotten that these existed for probably 25 years until I saw this very post. Now it’s all coming back to me! I had the Jurassic Park one and never could figure out how to play it right as a kid, but still had fun.
I don’t think people actually would, if push came to shove. They’re just expressing nostalgia for a simpler time, which is pretty easy to understand, given all the dystopian effects of social media and smartphones.
I think smartphones have done a lot of harm, but they’ve still done far more good, which is why we use them. Especially in poorer countries where smartphones are often people’s only access to the internet.
That said, there’s nothing stopping any of these people in the article from being the change they want to see in the world. Not to send anybody to Reddit, but r/dumbphones is a fast growing subreddit for people that want to try that. A lot of the users are Gen Z who never got to try them and want to give it a whirl.
I like lemmy.world because it seems to be neutral and doesn’t have heavy handed moderators. Communities are allowed to bloom and grow. It’s scalable.
I respect what Beehaw wants to do, but their goals are not realistic if they want to be a platform of any significant size.
So far I also like the communities I’ve seen on Lemmy.ml, but there have been a lot of technical/server issues.
Saudi Arabia is an untrustworthy partner. I’m honestly surprised they even want a US security pact. They’ve been trying to decouple from the US more and more in recent years.
I know about Bombardier but didn’t know there were others!
He comes across like an entitled child who has made up his mind and is too stubborn to admit when he’s wrong. Add onto that the fact that he bullies people with his lies and manipulation. Very much not an adult, let alone a CEO.
I think the “metaverse” is already dead. Zuckerberg tried to make it happen and it didn’t, and Meta doesn’t have the money to keep pumping into it. I think Meta will still produce the Quest headsets as a cheap alternative to the new Apple ones, but the idea of just hanging out in the metaverse is simply not going to happen.
I don’t know whether the Fediverse will “happen” for the vast majority of people who aren’t very tech savvy, but I’m enjoying it and it’s replaced Reddit for me.
If anything is going to be the next big thing in tech though, it’s AI. The fact that my 65+ year old parents know what ChatGPT is, and have used it, is unreal to me.
They mentioned living in "Tory country’, which if I’m not mistaken is the UK equivalent of a “red state” area in the US.
The more I have read about this, the more disgusted I am. This company generally, and the CEO personally, took all sorts of shortcuts to build this thing.
The CEO stated that he didn’t want to have any ex military submarine experts as part of the team, because they were “uninspiring” and “50 year old white guys”, and he’d rather have young college grads who are inspiring. The real reason: the college grads were simply cheaper. He didn’t want to pay the ex military experts. That’s it.
The CEO lied to CBS news in their CBS Sunday morning report and told them that Boeing and University of Washington consulted with them on the design of the submersible. Both organizations told the NY Post today that they had no involvement with it. So that was a fucking lie. All he did was use the UW lab after hours.
The use of a Logitech PS3 style controller to navigate the vehicle…what the actual fuck.
Because this was a submersible in international waters, there are virtually no regulations. That needs to change. If the UN needs to draft a treaty for countries to ratify to regulate these things in international waters, then that’s what needs to happen.
