So take Reddit, how does it work on Reddit? How does Reddit profit there?

Fuck that. Not cool.

Yeah, in my case I legit thought he intentionally didn’t mention PayPal. Turns out I stopped watching the video _just _ before he does mention it, in the last minute of the 11 min video.

I think all the weird hate he got for the AI devices earlier last year was nonsense. Claiming he needs to be nicer so he doesn’t destroy companies is total nonsense.

But then I found it odd that he seemed to be avoiding associating Honey with PayPal. So I guess I have weird suspicions about influencers too…

Wait, floss?

We are admonished for not flossing, and flossing causes cancer? What?

Oh shit, I missed it then.

Edit: I just took a look again and I was mistaken. He mentions their name twice in the last minute of the 11 min video. Early on he refers to it as its own company.

When MKB commented on the situation, he avoided dropping the name PayPal. Seemingly on purpose. Just in case it would help him in the future.

This sort of thing is fine.

But I’m more interested in uses where the goal isn’t just to insert a bunch of horror/slasher violence.

Have I overlooked any?

I stand corrected then.

You didn’t originally have a “probally” in there. I was just looking for additional reporting on your assertion.

Alyx came out about 9 months later, actually.

Can you cite where you learned their new software is actually Alyx 2?

Yes please.

Yeah, I’m mostly responding to the people I perceive to always shit on VR by mocking the idea of a metaverse or Meta’s version of a metaverse.

People dismiss the whole medium because of Zuck going wild with metaverse hype, and causing the whole industry to make all these nonsense metaverse claims.

Even Microsoft Teams was boasting about metaverse aspects at one point.

Yup, I like to sum it up as “we are in the palm pilot era of smart phones still.”

It’s a huge cliche to compare it to the iPhone. And it appears we won’t have an iPhone moment, it seems like we will have a more gradual shift.

But yeah. We love our palm pilots right now. But it’s gonna get so much better.

I can’t wait for social VR to be filled with more “normal” people.

People love to shit on VR because Meta pulled all that metaverse bullshit. But VR just keeps growing. Slowly, but it’s growing.

There’s no evidence it’s stopping yet.

In fact, Samsung and Google are jumping back in. And we have some of the lightest headsets ever made on the market right now.

VR is in a slow upswing.

What happens when every server is proxying images?

RFK suckin eggs to keep you safe.

For as far reaching the negatives are for Apple’s policies on in app purchases, this is one spot where they are advantageous.

It’s easy to cancel Nitro if you use in app purchases on iOS/iPadOS.

I work in education. Grading is always a burden, yeah. Homework/activities often need to be designed for the students AND for grading load.

My suspicion is students who understand the situation will try to game the system. Like they do with organic teachers, too.

Steam sales 10 years ago were a thing of myth and majesty.
