Hollywood produced some of the most influential pieces of art of the last century and it permeated global culture in a way only comparable to Renaissance-era Florence. Even if your simplistic take stained by marxist propaganda is true, you

Aesthetics are more important for some people than The 0.01% percent chance of an obscure, 8 year old security annomaly. I think those computers look horrible, but they are harmless.

Ignore the haters, sure. But don't ignore the well argumented criticism that you're getting from an overwhelming majority of your peers, as it's happening right now. >can't wait to see where it goes! Fall into this to

Basically what you said. I find it to be a liberal echo chamber as intolerable as any conservative echo chamber. I actually prefer Twitter because in my experience there's a lot of neutral content and you can pretty much evade all poli

Your 26% figure refers to the Total Consumer Compute Market 14 years ago (not 10, it's now 30% btw)... but that includes smartphones and tablets, not just PCs. You specifically mentioned > when was the last time you knew someone tha

You're right, I went off-topic for no good reason. I was just reacting to my personal bias against Bluesky and its stereotypical user and content. Too late to edit / delete my post but I retract it and apologize.

I don't know if switching from a extreme partisan site to another extreme partisan site is the right solution just because of the need of login credentials. In any case, Twitter/X has been online almost 20 years. Bluesky still has

Yeah, and that's consensual. Being recorded by some creep with cringe VR glasses is nothing like that.

Don't be dense. They control what they upload to social media and they mostly do it within closed circles (close friends, etc). Being recorded without consent is another story.

I'm not sure if you have experience with teenagers, but you’ll quickly realize they are even more resistant to this technology than we ever were. For the vast majority of kids today, this is their worst nightmare. They will reject it e

That's the Unity / Unreal look. I can see why that might be a problem, but I actually really like the Unreal 4 look and think fondly about many games using that engine that I like. The way it handles lighting, fog effects and colo

Well, that's your experience. Some people live in places where most strangers that talk to you are wierdos. Some of us live in places where most strangers on the street are actually dangerous (and I'm not talking about NYC or any

That's just childish. Eventually you'll have to learn responsibilities (towards other people) are a privilege and necessary for a full life. You'll just keep getting (more) bitter and lonely until you understand that.

Yeah, as someone said before, that's the em dash of 2026. btw I also find em dashes very useful and now I can't use them because of that meme. It's good to see a person using one (asuming you're a person).

Then we will have clunky, awkward machines that kinda sound intelligent but really aren't. Then they will need maintenance and break in 6 days. The leap is very large, in actuality. Friendly reminder that scaling LLMs will not lead to

It also feels low effort in the way that the game has no personality. It looks like something you would find in a shovelware demo CD 20 years ago. No art direction, no sound direction, nothing to talk about. Games made by individuals (indie

I liked this one because that video on that CD was a big part of my childhood. But yeah, same here. The worse ones are the ones from Apple / Steve Jobs that are meant to be cute and quirky but are actually just examples of sociopathy.

People in my country are being beheaded for not paying extorsion fees from the narcos. What does that have to do? And believe me, guys over here don't use or care for your face ID. You are cherry picking a political cause and overreact

So you'll still use Discord, just not Nitro? If cancelling your premium sub is all you're willing to do, it means you're not being militant enough.

Why would the leadership should go to jail when a data breach is IT's fault? If your card gets cloned, the CEO of the bank should not go to jail. I agree with paying (HUGE) fines, but you suggestion is juvenile, at best.

I don't socialize on Discord, I use it for work. That's why I don't care. I said that from the perspective of the people that are crying about Discord's move. The weird thing is that you give your personal info, includin

You clearly don't understand how this works. Social problems are not objective, like math problems. A lack of family support, for example, is something that many people label as a problem... but a lot of people just build strong social

I also thought like you when I was in my 20's. However... the addolescent need to "rise up" is the first thing to go when you actually start a family and develop a well balanced social network. If you play your cards right,
