Interesting read, but you would think that resolving some of that past trauma that was hidden would allow you to transition into a state that isn't your old "normal", but a nice halfway between your arrogant 10x present self

I don't know, while I do agree with some level of mirroring (usually superficially, like mirroring other confident people at a networking event), I don't believe anyone should do so for repeated interactions. It's just anothe

If you were to mix ChatGPT with premade blocks and a WYSIWYG editor you could get very far. It would be quite a lot of upfront work if you were actually intending on automating the full site creation rather than a general wireframe, still d

That I definitely agree with. I also think you're right here in regards to viewing Steam's Steamworks as a sort of abstraction layer or prerequisite for their metaverses to work. Without Steamworks, TF2/CSGO/L4D/etc

The easiest distinction is being publicly optimistic and privately pessimistic. It seems "two faced" but it's not let me explain. Being privately pessimistic has huge benefits, listed in the article and on other comments. You

Not sure the Roblox and Minecraft exclusions make sense. Maybe they used to in the past but they act as all other current forms of metaverses do, like VR Chat or Second Life or GTA Online. The consideration of Steam and Xbox Online as a met

We do not need preachers and we certainly do not need them for something as commonly aspired to as marriage. How out of touch can we truly be here? Marriage and having kids are two of the things universally pushed. We need solutions to the

That's an absurd amount of effort to bypass fingerprint biometrics, nice. However, it's important to note here that biometrics isn't just about fingerprints and every OS handles their available biometrics options differently.

I think you're confused. Windows Hello works offline. You were probably trying to sign into your Microsoft account, which IS online. Mind you, the forced Microsoft account for new Windows 11 users is a huge problem. But it's a dif
