Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Imperor@lemmy.world 79 points 2 months ago (69 children)

This AR obsession is utterly baffling to me. There are so few real applications and the hardware requirements are insane so it's not something that will get widely adapted anyway. Sure in a decade or so it might have matured enough to have shed all these issues, but AR/VR feels like a really out of touch thing to prusue, especially if you look at the garbage ideas they have on how to use it - virtual meetings??

I get movies and games on these, possibly even some recording and porn, but these are not their B2B wet dreams anyway.

'Harry Potter' star John Lithgow is surprised by J.K. Rowling backlash in c/transgender@lemmy.blahaj.zone
[–] Imperor@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But following the announcement, he received a text from "a very good friend who is the mother of a trans child," linking him to a Book Riot op-ed entitled, An Open Letter to John Lithgow: Please Walk Away from Harry Potter.

As for whether the criticism has soured the role for him, Lithgow replied, “Oh, heavens no.”

Oh fuck off. Shame, I really liked 3rd Rock from the Sun.

"Dopamine Nation" is a good book on this whole issue. I really wonder how much the dead internet theory might play a role in eventually breaking this cycle, or just younger generations being contrarian to older generations.

Spain is about to face the challenge of a “black start” in c/hardware@lemmy.world

Completely mind boggling what's going on there. The amount of work to be put in to fix all this is enormous. I truly wish everyone involved nerves of steel and the best of luck.

Thank you, appreciate it! Added the link to the body of it, too.

Hey, I don't quite understand your point. It's entirely about the process and thoughts around migrating to Linux from the point of view of someone who has never attempted it. It's about adaptation. If it does not fit the sub, I do apologize for crossposting here and will not do so in the future.

I posted the link in the original post, seems to have gotten lost, sorry. As others have said, it's a video essay where I talk about the experience of it.

I do apologise if that doesn't fit this sub. I had to fight a bit through stuff because I game and stream and that was what held me back from attempting it in the first place. Here's the link :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoYW6HEVBCI

We had a community challenge on Twitch in January for me to initiate my migration off Windows 10 to Linux.

The process began in February and I've been on Linux as my daily driver for a few weeks now. This video is an overview of that experience, my background and where things currently stand.

I'm very pleased with Linux Mint overall, despite some initial headaches and misgivings. Figured you might be interested in seeing this :)

Warcraft 1 and 2 Remastered and the long-awaited 2.0 patch update for Warcraft 3: Reforged have just launched on PC for Warcraft's 30th anniversary in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] Imperor@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (11 children)

If the remastered versions add modern controls that'd be super. It's the main gripe I have with the older games besides low resolutions.

Wouldn't have thought they could do it, but very happy they did. Let's see how long it lasts.

It's because it is ineffective and doesn't have any consequences if they fail. Withdrawing will prompt blue states to push even harder om regulation, as well as the EU possibly waking up. I think they are afraid of the Streisand effect, nothing more.

An excess of billionaires is destabilising politics – just as academics predicted in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] Imperor@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago (6 children)

I truly believe the world would be a much better place if there was a clear cutoff for wealth. But of course, there would still be weasles out there circumventing such measures. Greed is such an incredibly harmful thing.

Not a single redeeming thing about billionaires. Not a single one. Their "philanthropy" would be entirely unneeded, if they simply paid their fair share back to society, without which they wouldn't have what they have in the first place.

I am a sucker for the Anno Series and damn if I am not going to enjoy the heck out of the Roman setting. It'll certainly be an interesting ride.
