No, I don’t think I will.

We already have gated communities for the wealthy…

Does it even count if you’re advertising on your own platform?

YES

because most inmates walk out with almost nothing, which often leads to chronic homelessness and ending up back in jail.

There is a reason the “former” slaves states like Alabama ensure that prisoners are destitute when they are released.

Require? No.

Likely to be improved by more spacial awareness? Yes.

They have a budget spent on advertising on wikipedia itself, plus the cost of the emails they send out asking for donations.

The popularity in the fictional setting, based on speculation?

The popularity of the book/move, which is a short period of escapism not at all comparable to virtual reality?

Remote medical procedures, remote military weapons, remote repair of datellites, etc. will all benefit as well.

The second life/metaverse/virtual reality concept will never be widely accepted by the majority of the population because it just isn’t what the vast majority of people want. They want communication methods that compliment their real world lives.

Yes, it will probably be more popular at some point than it has been so far if they can pull off affordable ultra realism, but the escapism of virtual worlds appeals to a relatively small portion of the population. Not to mention that a lot of people have a limited amount of free time, and even if it was extremely popular at first, the novelty would wear off fairly quickly for most people.

Yes, their method of advertising/fundraising is atrocious. They still have an advertising budget and their product is benevolent and free.

I used to think the importance of leadership at the top of a company to be overblown since they succeed based on the work of all of the employees, but it is pretty amazing how fast a change to shitty leadership can run a successful company into the ground.

No, he’s pro blanket!

Wikipedia

They are getting downvoted for misconstruing something that is clearly a rule about profit making services and applying it to crowd sourced non-profit open source projects.

Truly open source projects don’t have suckers.

Lol, I just got that response in another thread about them leaning in on the justification accounts because I assumed the next step would be taking existing joke accounts over like most of these platforms have done.

Bluesky is certainly speedrunning it.

They are bullshit machines, trained to output something that users think is the right output.

What is your favorite flavor of kool aid?

Wow, so much energy spent to get worse search results compared to 10 years ago.

Subscribed - Hot is my default

All - Hot is my alternate if I’m seeing the same recentish posts too much

All - New if I’m looking around for new communities to subscribe to

Top doesn’t do anything for me because needing to narrow down by time frame is too many steps, although I didn’t check to see if there is a setting tonchange the default

Hell, I’m surprised it is over 10% with how many of the most popular games have been around for years.
