Developer and surfer of the web
I agree that this may be the only real solution for the time being. I have personally been trying to submit good content to my favorite magazines to combat some of the spam, but there is a real influx of it and it’s making it difficult to use the site.
One of the cases where piracy can mean preservation
Statistically, probably slower than average
Feeling morally responsible for the actions of an entire nation sounds like a great way to give yourself ulcers.
But seriously, even in a “democracy”, there is too much shady shit going on behind the curtain to really hold the general public accountable for all of it.
I think “integrated” is a better term for my usage than “addicted”. My phone is an extension of my digital presence, and although I work from a desktop computer day-to-day, my phone is an integral part of my ability to automate and operate my tools, hardware and software. Besides work stuff, it’s also fully integrated into my home life since it’s my interface for my home automation as well as my primary means of staying up to date with news and info I need.
But I don’t really play phone games, and I don’t do social media (other than KBin at the moment, anyway), so I don’t find myself using it in an addictive way too often.
It scratches my scrolling itch. I haven’t really been back to Reddit other than when Google lists Reddit as the best choice for some info I need. But I’ve really enjoyed KBin and the communities that are popping up here. I hope it continues to grow.
No more cancer. Life is hard enough as it is.
Well if it’s a soulless corporate cash grab, at least it’ll be just like the game
I haven’t been to youtube.com or opened the app in ages. I switched to FreeTube and haven’t looked back. That’ll last until they restrict API access, anyway.
They tested that on me months ago and I downloaded FreeTube in response. Haven’t looked back. Fuck them for trying to tell me what I can and can’t do.
Awesome, this is long-needed. The SteamVR interface sucks. Hopefully this is a dramatic improvement.
That’s all any tech demo is. They have to draw interest in order to continue developing the technology.
I read 30 - 60 books each year, depending on how busy I am. Mainly this is done via audiobooks - I read about 80% of my books that way while I’m doing mindless tasks like cleaning, cooking, chores etc. I also keep a book on my nightstand and I read every night before bed, often in the morning when I wake up as well.
Join us over in /m/books by the way!
I don’t believe that stat, based on my own personal experience. I’ve been a VR user for close to 10 years now and I’ve introduced many, many people to it. I’ve only had one person feel sick in any way in that entire time.

Ironic coming from a guy who uses a very clear formula on the majority of his movies.
Nope, I have been a PC gamer for about 30 years and I love emulating classics from the past. It’s not as challenging as folks around here seem to think. I guess sometimes people just have a hard time accepting that there can be multiple ways of doing a thing, even if they are unaware of some of those ways. Emulating XP might seem like a big deal for someone who is new to the idea, but personally I have been emulating XP for decades, even when it was the modern OS, along with many other types of OS, so it’s a matter of rote for me at this point. I wouldn’t even consider XP to be old enough to be a challenge - try emulating some of the original Linux distros, or an OS you’ve never heard of for that matter. That’s where the challenge can come in.
I love that so many people have an opinion on this subject though. It just affirms that new ideas are out there for those who want them. Happy learning!
It really is shocking that they could somehow get more mainstream
