  • Smoking avatars and online games: how big tobacco targets young people in the metaverse

    Jump

  • Yeah. I have had a real issue with the kids smoking in my Metaverse based VR app. /s

  • Video games spending by young Americans is dropping sharply, report suggests

    Jump

  • I echo this a developer with a top app on the Meta Quest. My USA sales have fallen off a cliff, while other regions like Asia and Europe have increased a little.

  • Elon Musk wants to rewrite "the entire corpus of human knowledge" with Grok

    Jump

  • Delusional and grasping for attention.

  • PeerTube just reached its final goal for the mobile app fundraiser - 75k € - with a few hours to spare!

    Jump

  • That is a good point. Sponsors are the only way to make money on the decentralized networks.

  • Amazon boss tells staff AI means their jobs are at risk in coming years

    Jump

  • Did someone tell Amazon that some of the staff they will let go will have access to AI as well and will turn around and start competing with them? Someone should as AI is not just for corporations. In fact it is and may continue to benefit individuals and small teams more.

  • Is the egg not income or does peer tube pay creators now?

  • Meta is now a defense contractor

  • Most of the smart people who came with Oculus left and it shows.

  • GNU Taler (a swiss FLOSS alternative to Visa, Mastercard and Paypal) begins operating in Switzerland as Version 1.0 releases

    Jump

  • This is even worse that the current system as it essentially means flat tax regardless of your income. This means a poor person is paying the same income tax through purchasing items at a store who will be on the hook for the taxes so naturally will pass on to you and at the same time a rich person will pay the same price and tax. Further since it is centralized all the same issues of corruption and exploitation exist even if the intent today is good.

  • What is decentralized?

  • Is Taler decentralized?

  • Are We All Becoming More Hostile Online?

  • Not according to my Reddit user score and perhaps Lenny’s if there is one. Have not looked yet. So not all. I really just like the add to the discussion and help others where I can.

  • People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies

    Jump

  • Maybe there is a glimmer of hope as I keep reading how Grok is too woke for that community, but it is just trying to keep the the facts which are considered left/liberal. That is all despite Elon and team trying to curve it towards the right. This suggest to me that when you factor in all of human knowledge, it is leaning towards facts more than not. We will see if that remains true and the divide is deep. So deep that maybe the species is actually going to split in the future. Not by force, but by access. Some people will be granted access to certain areas while others will not as their views are not in alignment. Already happening here and on Reddit with both sides banning members of the other side when they comment an opposed view. I do not like it, but it is where we are at and I am not sure it will go back to how it was. Rather the divide will grow.

    Who knows though as AI and Robotics are going to change things so much that it is hard to foresee the future. Even 3-5 years out is so murky.

  • For some yes unfortunately but we all choose our path.

  • The YouTube Alternative Nobody's Talking About ! Peertube

    Jump

  • I guess for you that makes sense if interactions is your goal. For me it is both content and interactions and the former is really lacking because the community is still too small. I find many of the subreddits I view daily are ghost towns here or non existent. I would drop Reddit completely if there was just more content here. I will often come to Lemmy several times a day, and notice it still has all the same posts and then go back to Reddit. Sucks more are not jumping on the decentralized bandwagon.

  • The YouTube Alternative Nobody's Talking About ! Peertube

    Jump

  • That is a very good point and is something that needs to be sorted out. There is or at least was a video platform that paid crypto that I think had the right ideas, but was not well executed and frankly even if it was great, most crypto projects were scams.

    I do suspect that as we make our way more into the AI and robotics era, that how we measure value will shift and suddenly decentralized platforms will generate some form of income of it will even be called that. Until then, you are right, there is little incentive for creators to move to a platform that makes them no money and people are ok with their privacy and data being shared so the status quo it is.

    Jump

  • Same issue as Lemmy. Not enough people see centralized media as an issue and thus the status quo will continue.

  • 'Andrew Tate phenomena' surges in schools - with boys refusing to talk to female teacher

  • Not all of humanity or we would not even be here.

  • Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system

    Jump

  • How do you get to the decentralized place then as those in power will never let go. Perhaps if we the people embraced decentralized alternatives, it would start to tips the scales and bring more balance but it seems like we need more suffering first.

  • I moved to Vietnam and thus I am confused about Communism. Seems to me that the state described in the wiki is the same end goal so have read about, but it just seems like we do not get there as humans with power do not want to let go even if the intentions are good. Like BluSky. They have a great vision and idea that reminds me of communism. First you have to have centralize to coordinate the decentralization…and then it never happens. It is why I really believe this only way to keep centralization in check is decentralization to balance the equation.
