Downvoted for complaining about downvoting

My monkey brain tree climbing instincts are screaming in languages I don’t even know.

That’s what I mean - there’s definitely reasons the form factor makes sense. But anyone just walking around with it day to day is looking at T&A. Full stop.

I legitimately struggle to imagine what else you’d use them for unless you were doing daily vlogging, in which case you’d be talking to yourself and it would be pretty obvious. But anyone just like riding the subway with these things is just creeping until proven otherwise.

We all understand why these annoying terms are used

No we don’t. All you are doing is validating the idiocy by moving it to platforms where it doesn’t exist. Most of these claimed censorship rules don’t even fucking exist at all. People don’t get posts pulled just for saying “murder” anywhere on the Internet. They get content strikes and then think it’s from a single word because they are fucking idiots. And now the lexicon has become a meme - a participation marker for “content creators.”

No, it’s not a linguistic implosion but it’s still extremely fucking stupid brainrot.

The dumb part is that this won’t even solve the problem. It will be trivially easy to get dev certificates through a shell company. Anyone who is making money off scamware will have no trouble standing up LLCs faster than Google can ban them.

Sucks to suck

Seems like it has the same problem as Native in that it’s outrageously expensive.

I have a mild allergy to most deodorant so I need to pick my battles, because if I wear the stuff that actually works daily, I’ll end up with a pretty sensitive rash and unable to wear anything at all. So most days I’m either wearing nothing or the crystal stuff which last like 45 minutes. If I’m getting on a plane or in a crowd I throw on the good stuff. Also I’m not paying $20 for Native BS I’d rather just smell bad.

It’s been more than a few months. Also I am getting offers for meta glasses if I switch internet or cell carriers and shit, so I suspect some of those numbers are coming from wholesale contracts and not direct to customer purchases.

This has actually been the one thing I have been using AI for. I tell Gemini I’m going to cook some recipe and walk me through it and then ask questions as I’m going. Most of the time it does a decent job.

You might not notice your OIS is borked until you go on vacation and suddenly can’t get certain pictures to focus anymore. Excessive vibration and drops can definitely damage it. Though I imagine just a basic rubberized mount would help mitigate that a lot.

something that even low-end ANC earphones are doing

Because God forbid you take the fucking earbuds out of your head when talking to someone.

It’s on the inner wrapper for some reason

He didn’t even ask permission. He just started cutting the roof and nobody had the courage to ask him what he was doing.

Call me when they invent weed that makes me feel like I’m wearing grade 7 nipple clamps

The original standards developed by NIST were literally called Dilithium and Kyber.

The counterpoint is that PlayStation is a full feature media center whereas all the streaming services nerf bitrates on Linux. IDK if valve can work around that, but so far even the windows native apps for Netflix don’t seem to get full bitrate 4K.

end up having to resort to violence when all options to handle things as civilly and peacefully as possible has been thoroughly exhausted

The thing is, it seems like this just always happens to certain people and rarely to anyone else. I legitimately cannot imagine a scenario where I would be violent unless I’m in actual danger. Words are just too easy to ignore. Anyone who can be provoked like that is seriously fragile and needs to look inward for solutions.

Fiat currency is based on the government’s ability to issue and service debt, which is based on its ability to collect taxes, which is based on the economy it oversees. It’s a bit roundabout but the pieces all connect.

Crypto is supposed the compensation for providing compute resources to a blockchain, which ostensibly backs some application with actual intrinsic value. In that sense crypto is real, but there are no actual blockchains which support valuable applications. The entire thing much more closely resembles a ponzi scheme where real currency is deposited, and then the appreciation it experiences is proportional to the ratio of inputs vs withdrawals, without there being an actual asset creating value.
