Good, let’s make that happen sooner.

If some dev wants to make a monetized platform that uses activitypub, they can, and they can do it literally however they want whenever they want. I’m sure threads is or will be monetized in some way.
Literally nothing is stopping anyone from doing that.
But most current users probably wouldn’t migrate to a monetized platform, or even really want to interact with one, and new ones who do want to monetize probably won’t even move until a critical mass of people moves from the old platform(s). So there’s no incentive to create that at this point. And when the critical mass who wants to make money moves, they can figure out how they want to monetize their own platform.
I’ve played some vr games, just not many on psvr. There’s a local vr arcade where I’ve played a few things, and I briefly tried out a couple downloaded psvr games, Skyrim is just the one I really want to play and it’s mentally holding up wanting to play the others (which are iron man, doom vfr, and vr worlds, all of which I expect to have similar issues. I also have Rick and Morty and that one’s ok, just not really that engaging)
I made it maybe 5 minutes into skyrim, so I literally have only had a problem with walking so far lol. I’ve dealt with motion sickness of various sorts my whole life, and considering that the problem with this is specifically visual walking-type motion without actually feeling like I’m moving (like being a car passenger) and I already have a treadmill (and stationary bike if the treadmill doesn’t work) and can rig up a sort of harness for it, I’ll take my chances and go from there. I played a shooter with auto movement at an arcade and just bouncing between my feet was enough, but threw me off balance since vr and all.
The ones that teleport your location or don’t really have you move through the environment much/fast are pretty good and don’t make me uncomfortable, even with looking around. The psvr tracking isn’t great, though, and Skyrim specifically seems like it was just mapped into vr, not really designed for it (because that’s probably the case). That’s probably a big part of it.
Nuclear isn’t really a solution, it’s a stop-gap measure as we transition fully to renewables.
I love nuclear, but there’s a lot of waste product and it’s very difficult to dispose safely. They need to be on geologically stable ground in areas not prone to natural disaster, which is harder to find than you might think. The materials used for it are limited on earth, and the output can’t be scaled up/down to meet grid demand. The plants themselves are much safer than they used to be, but there is still some risk of catastrophe, especially in older plants (those being shut down). Maintenance can also be risky.
They are a good solution to replace dirtier options until cleaner ones can be made in quantities needed for full renewable, but should not be the end point.
Also they may be carbon free in daily operation, but cement is one of the leading causes of carbon emissions, so constructing them is still super dirty. Mind, any other traditional power plant (coal/gas) will have the same problem, just want to be clear that it’s not carbon free.
I have Skyrim vr for ps4 and I really want to play it but it makes me sick.. you do actual walking not teleporting, i believe it has a sway, and the background environment movement is just.. 🤢
It’s actually been the reason I haven’t put in most of the other vr games I have… I will eventually but I need a new setup (stationary bike or treadmill with a harness or something to trick my brain) to help with the nausea before I’m willing to disappoint myself again.
I also really want horizon vr, but idk if it would do the same (haven’t looked into it), and I don’t really want to get a vr2 if the setup change above doesn’t work..
Those look like pepperoni sliced into chip shape.. which I guess is technically pizza flavored.. :p
It’s season 14 of the 2005 reboot. The pre-2005 stuff is “doctor who classic” now, and there’s I think 26 seasons?
That’s why I said for me, but I can see my word placement wasn’t great, and probably not clear. Such is life.
I’d never trust a company trying to sell you an overpriced product that monitors your purchase and consumption habits to get you to spend even more on ordering services or whatever nonsense their fridge does, to give better advice than a persons own body, even when said body is not working properly with signaling, or has been otherwise hijacked by empty foods.. I’d sooner trust even the worst malfunctioning body than this nonsense.
I’m really interested in the different reactions of the two litigious guys.. (in all of it of course, but especially that)
Kaechele admits the museum has amassed a “large file” of complaints over Ladies Lounge. But apart from the current case, only one other complainant has sought formal redress.
“Like Jason, he felt it was sexual discrimination and wanted access for men. And when I said, ‘well, men can’t come in’, he said ‘then why should I have to pay the same amount if I don’t get to experience the artwork?’ And I said, ‘you do experience the artwork, because the rejection is the artwork’. And he understood that and he appreciated it and he dropped the case.”
The one understood that his discomfort with it was the point, and something women have experienced throughout their lives, and was willing to listen and learn. And the other, still suing, still feels entitled to women’s spaces. Because of course. Lots of men like that.
I’m curious how this will play out, even though I’m not from your country :p This whole article just felt really good in a lot of ways.
You know what else monitors my activity levels and provides calorie intake suggestions and food suggestions based on that and macro/micro nutrient levels?
My body, via hunger and food cravings. And it’s free! (for me)
And I can 100% guarantee this little device isn’t going to know what I’m actually in the mood for, so it will literally never be what it suggests.. Plus my fridge is sad single person fridge half the time - most of my food is dry goods (which it has no ability to track), and I get what produce I need when I need it or it goes bad.
Samsung: “You have beer, milk, ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, sweet chili, and jelly in your fridge. Make it a soup I guess? I can’t work under these conditions! I’m going to order you real food and then tell you to cook it.”
Me: “No samsung, I don’t feel like cooking today, that’s why I don’t have any food to make.”
Samsung: “Did I stutter?”
Real talk tho, their smart TVs aren’t even any good -regretfully I have one-, which doesn’t build confidence for their even-more-niche smart stuff, why would anyone want all this other trash?
The thing I saw a while back showed It was tiered, I think 5 tiers, based on karma, with the last wave of people getting the offer being those with like 5k or some ridiculously low number basically meaning they offered it to nearly everyone.
If they had sold the shares with the first few waves it wouldn’t have gotten to the low karma users, which probably means it wasn’t well received.
I’m not really sure how I feel about this..
On the one hand if they are spending more than they take in to handle cash, that’s obviously broken, so the move is logical.. but aren’t there alternatives that don’t disadvantage people who don’t have plastic options for whatever reason?
Like idk, making them free to enter and paid for entirely by business taxes or something, the way they should be? I realize they are basically self-funding a lot of what they do by charging admission, but that is still an unfair barrier on public enjoyment of a public good. And so unnecessary.
