Nah, some people just like to make stuff up to complain about something.

Surely there’ll be independent services for smart device lobotomy coming.

To be fair to USians, their voting and ejection system is total crap.

Yep and that’s why it’s really important to have government investment to increase the chances of getting games out there. For example, Untitled Goose Game got government grants and was a huge success - there are many other examples also. Without the grants, they wouldn’t have been able to make it.

You don’t go into indie to hit big though. You do it because it’s your passion, just like any other creative out there.

It’s showing this for me. Maybe they adjust the way it shows depending on personal data.

Just scroll past, dude.

Aside from the obvious technological barriers to achieve this, are they going to turn them into soylent green when they’re no longer useful and old?

sigh it’s not a good week for the arts, is it?

They tried again and got Tim Curry 🙁

It’s just the lighting. Don’t overthink it.

And that’s why AI tools should only be given to seniors who know where the bullshit is hidden.

I’d say if we were to increase our resilience in an analogue world, we should start now while those who lived the analogue era are still alive and functional. Otherwise, we’ll see ourselves heavily dependent on power and data as long as modern civilisation exists.

It doesn’t look like it was designed by hand. There’s no meaning or sense of planning in the design.

You’ll find that there are tech enthusiasts and tech consumers. Tech enthusiasts are usually fans of FLOSS and want technology accessible for all; basically they want tech to work for them. Tech consumers are usually fans of what’s new on the tech market and become the product.

I’m part of the former. These glasses are awful in every way possible, so much so that the alleged benefits are minuscule in comparison to privacy breaches, misuse of data by a private company, training of AI models on that stolen data, parasitic and enforces a reliance on being online.

I’d much rather trust independent research than a private profit driven tech company to develop anything to assist disabilities. There’s already tech being developed that potentially restores some sight to the blind.

These glasses have got to go.

I’d say he’s more of a pedophile enabler, at this stage.

That’s absolutely disgusting. At this rate, governments should really be stepping in and stopping all this.

LED head lights have to go until car manufacturers learn how to use them properly. It’s perfectly possible to have non glare LEDs but the cheap mofos won’t want to spend money to retool everything.

But we’re in a plutocracy, not a democracy.

I think it’s literally because they don’t have the mental stamina to deal with it. If they want to know anything, they just look it up and follow the steps. There’s no resilience or practice in retaining lots of information.

For example, I had to memorise a lot of phone numbers and addresses just in case I left my address book at home. I had to remember where things were so I wouldn’t get lost because I didn’t have access to a digital map.

I also went back to university and encountered all of this. I was floored when my classmate went to a YouTube video of someone reading the GitHub manual page rather than reading it themselves.

My friend who works with two Gen Z colleagues are absolutely addicted to their phones and get massive anxiety when talking to someone on the phone (which is a core part of their job). They also get huge anxiety with admitting that they’ve made a mistake.

We’ve failed an entire generation as a society.
