The Canadians have been boycotting MAGA businesses for a year now and if the Americans joined, we would be reading out bankruptcies and chaos on the MAGA world. Money talks, especially to MAGA.

Oh yeah. That is sort of what I was envisioning. It is not really feature complete, but a step in the right direction. Thanks for that link. At least Lemmy is trying versus Reddit that lets it fester.

I say fuck Reddit and Lemmy too for not providing the tools to audit modderators. Like we need a removed post/comment/account graveyard where anyone can review and inspect what is being removed with the reasons as to why so that we can have assurance mods are not abusing. Like it is such a simple problem to solve , yet no one wants to implement and thus, here we are.

What the fuck is wrong with most Americans as I we are seeing more real action from Canadians while Americans mostly complain online and may go to a protest once in a while if at all, plus and protests are ineffective as team Trump only hear/feel money. You got to hit MAGA where it counts and target boycott their business like the Canadians. If Americans did the same, we would be hearing about all the MAGA businesses going bankrupt. I am very disappointed with Americans and shocked they are so passive.

Sure, but we were all talking about AI and the data it will need for decades.

The real crime here is while the EU is trying every angle to error your privacy, that time is not being spent on real issues. You are being sold out by the very people put into positions of power to serve you. If the data supported their goals, I would be there with them, but the data is very clear on the matter and the it indicates we are in for big issues with all these IDs being stored by centralized targets.

Surely AI training was the top bullet point on the buy pitch.

The smart people never enter politics and so rational solutions like yours never see the day of light. Plus, it is more about collecting your data and control than protecting anyone.

Good one. That said, I have reasons to believe they are not even going to be able to deliver that evil at scale. You can tell by the bravado their CEO keeps exhibiting. Classic hold my beer. Seems like an American thing right now to out do the beer holding.

The sales of the glasses have been better than their VR headset which has really made them double down on the glasses as they see big potential. That said, I really think that it is a false hope as I suspect the market that is ok wearing Facebook glasses are small, but loyal.

Most of the code was written in the last 2 years as I have expanded the app a lot, added multi player and reworked all the original code. For my simple app, AI has allowed me to grow much faster than before. I am very grateful for the tech even with its may issues.

That is the argument many make but it is assuming that any issues that come up AI will not be able to help which is just not true. I have a top rated, multiplayer VR app and I have not written code for it for 2 years now as AI does it all. Sure issues have come up, but AI can fix as long as you guide it correctly.

People can dismiss AI coding but some of us are using it for actual products and making money from it. I have heard for two years now that I will pay the price of vibe coding as I will not understand the code when it breaks. What? I just ask the AI what the code does to understand it and vibe code to fix it. What the heck is everyone on about? Knowing syntax is about as beneficial as knowing the machine code. Who cares in 2026 other than really mission critical apps that AI is not ready for.

I am just hoping the Steam Frame provides the foundation so that in the years to come I can get off Windows for VR development. Feel trapped right now.

The evidence is the trend overtime in terms of organizations getting hacked (countless studies and reports on it). This is the graph to watch closely as it is the path we are on and there is a point on that curve that Centralization becomes a liability.

Maybe “Inner Circle Rejection”.

I think this is the future, but it will be local, open source AI that you control that will be how it takes off. sure the corporate AIs will be more convenient, but I sense that people can “feel” that corporate in their AI and this will be a trust barrier. It is the same thing with the Metaverse. You can feel Zuck’s Metaverse is corporate in a way you do not feel on a flat screen and it is objectionable to most even if they cannot put their finger on why. AI and the Metaverse are personal, more in your face and more present which tickles something in your brain that demands that those you let in, you can trust.

I am not sure what this wall should be called c but as it becomes more apparent, it will get a name. Anyone got a suggestions?

Weird. You would think that the “genius” would know that the very AI and Quantum computing his organization and other Billionaires are building out, is going to undermine anything of value that is Centralized. Really proof his genius is how to exploit others and not really the reality we are finding ourselves in. I am LOL inside as the shift back to decentralized services will be a bloodbath for Centralized anything.

That really was a thing. There was a backlash towards sampling for like a decade and nowadays, no one seems to even notice or care. Same with synthesizer based music…so many people argued that it was not music and not real and that it was going to ruin music.
