I'm in the Deep South, I bet by end of week I see a place charging "Fuck China" surcharges.

I did turn off my Amazon renewal for next month, I don't really care if it makes a difference in their bottom line, but my money doesn't support this shit if I can help it.

Now in damp!

It's kind of unreal that they took something that worked perfectly well for 25 years and then fucked it up entirely overnight, for no good reason.

Stick in bike spokes meme.

Interesting. Ok, I will give it another go at some point. I had an Oculus Rift and there was a ton of promise but the tech was just not ready.

Seems dangerous, it's a breach of the ToS I assume so they're opening up to possible liability if Reddit got pissy. I'm actually surprised this kind of research gets IRB and other approval given you're violating ToS unless given a variance from it (I used to conduct research on social networks and had to get preapproved accounts for the purpose, and the data I was given was carefully limited.)

Usually wise to avoid trusting the people you see in mirrors as well, never know what they're doing when you're not around.

Yep I've played with virtual monitors in VR space and I don't even like watching movies on them, the loss in resolution and the way the dynamic aspect of it (using a moving screen to simulate a static screen) makes it a shitty solution. Eventually it'll be good enough to watch TV in but I can't imagine doing serious work in it.

Money addicts will risk their half trillion dollar fortune trying to save a small fraction of it

This really feels like Reddit in the first couple years. It went to shit so gradually I didn't even notice although I can remember big events. I remember when "downvote ≠ disagree" and the place felt nicer.

Yeah nowadays Reddit has not just every sub, but every meme version of a sub, and that's neat, but at what cost? I don't like being on it, and I've been um, banned an awful lot of times lately. Not really worth it. So I will have to try to build the top few communities I am missing here, like centuryhomes.

He said at one point he'd never stop on his own accord and I think we see that playing out.

Orrr force them to continue doing nothing for forever as previously scheduled before public outrage. Now they can throw their hands up and act like they tried.
