Making fun of people should be illegal?

Interesting but not very helpful

I have an OG Vive, Oculus Quest, and a Cosmos with the wireless adapter. Several hundred hours of SteamVR over the course of the past few years. All that said, I can do 1-2 hours of VR every other day or so at most. The idea that this will be as popular as smartphones in the next 5, even 10 years seems crazy to me. Being "in VR" is pretty exhausting no matter how lightweight the headset is.

How do you delete facebook if you're at the stage where they've requested you upload a photo ID, passport, SSN, lock of hair, and stool sample just to sign in?

Twitter is trash and I'm happy when any chaotic nonsense is happening to it.

Quite a few big forums running xenforo

Chance the Rapper won 3 Grammys without ever working with a major label

Despite that they are burdened by the Buzzfeed name. Just look at this thread arguing back and forth about this. They should really spin it off and shed all the Buzzfeed branding.

Of course but Nana gets mail through the mail slot and keeps pop in the fridge.

I'm assuming most people have no idea about the "advanced" options when it comes to email. Most non-tech people use a browser based gmail/yahoo/etc. account or (ugh) their ISP email

Plenty of people have their reasons for not having children and to simply call them a "dead end" is pretty heartless.

By diverse culture I mean more than one local bar and one local diner. As much as I like apple pie, I'd begin to hate it if it were my only option

Even a completely free piece of land and free housing isn't a substitution for basic infrastructure and diverse local culture. Maybe if you have a growing family or are retirement age, but with the childless 35 and under crowd growing I can't imagine wanting to move to the middle of nowhere.

Living in a true hot n cold New England USA makes me jealous that anyone would consider this extreme. It's sweater n t-shirt weather. I consider hot n cold being 100F in the summer and 0F in the winter.

Ripping and robbing a freight train is not the same situation at all. Things that aren't found as valuable are being tossed along the tracks.

People who are in highly educated fields but aren't IT adjacent somehow get that idea that computers are not that difficult. Doing IT for doctors and lawyers is usually frustrating.

"life balance" is the most polite way to say I was worked to the bone, got fat and depressed, and the only way out was to outright quit and not work for a few months. Thankfully having some savings allowed me to do so

It says he competed at 267wpm in the article. The monkeytype site totally bans 300+ so I think that's still very impressive.

I'm definitely not someone who reads these types of articles often but this part definitely stood out to me. Are these analogies common? It seemed odd.

People have recorded others without their consent for millennia. Whether it's telling a story about what someone said, a photo, or now a screenshot of a twitter post, that is reality. You'll never be able to stop someone from telling another that you said X.

My understanding is their password manager is now fully part of the browser and you can enable it to act as a password manager for other apps as well. I just tested adding an email account and got the option to "unlock firefox" and input credentials

Why automatic? Surely someone could have the responsibility to do it manually.

You're not a real health nut unless you're activating your almonds

Plastic Love is pretty much the face of city pop/future funk and it blew up on youtube a few years ago. That crappy video they just released is a money grab.

You see this on Youtube as well. Comments acknowledge "The Algorithm", mentioning that the algorithm suddenly chose this video from 2013 to be popular, or that people who were picked by the algorithm to like this video must be cool. This has happened with music too, Plastic Love and Ryo Fukui's Scenery being some examples I noticed. Maybe it really is "the algorithm" right now but it seems like this could be easily manipulated.

I have to assume you wouldn't counter any termites, roaches, or wasps invading your home.

I've bought stacks of laptops from them during the pandemic when some things were difficult to buy. $15k worth of laptops left on the stoop. This happened multiple times.

EVGA has reportedly great warranty support so it's worth it, especially considering it's a purchase that's usually $500+.

Usually sending just "help" and no other data is preferred. Don't send screenshots, don't make use of the ingame reporting tools (pressing F11), don't send steps to replicate.

If you're interested in that you'll probably like this post by Lucas Pope on how he handled dithering and camera movement - https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=40832.msg136374...

Not really like SV but all of Lucas Pope's games definitely stand out. Another individual who does pretty much all his own work. Paper's Please and Return of the Obra Dinn, both excellent and very unique.

My mom wants to print photos of her grand kids and would absolutely balk at a printer over $150. Before the pandemic, a decent HP inkjet was $60.
