This AR obsession is utterly baffling to me. There are so few real applications and the hardware requirements are insane so it’s not something that will get widely adapted anyway. Sure in a decade or so it might have matured enough to have shed all these issues, but AR/VR feels like a really out of touch thing to prusue, especially if you look at the garbage ideas they have on how to use it - virtual meetings??

I get movies and games on these, possibly even some recording and porn, but these are not their B2B wet dreams anyway.

“Dopamine Nation” is a good book on this whole issue. I really wonder how much the dead internet theory might play a role in eventually breaking this cycle, or just younger generations being contrarian to older generations.

I don’t post nearly as much as I would like, because I post some stream related stuff in my own community on lemmy and don’t know want to come off as someone who is trying to advertise all the time. I have been reported for that posting to my own community, which… ya know. I get it, nobody cares about yet another streamer dude, but it is a bit intimidating almost.

The US and the USSR engaged in a race to have the most nukes. After the fall of the Sowjet Union international treaties were put in place to reduce the number of nukes in both east and west.

Don’t quote me, but if I remember correctly, at the height of the cold war, both sides had more than 12.000 nukes each.

Humanity had enough fire power to delete the entire globe roughly 40x over then. Why? Because bigger is better.

Damn, the Impire truly has it’s tendrils everywhere!

Clearly me. I am a tiny little youtuber and streamer who wants this place to succeed, so I lurk, I post and don’t have a presence on the big platforms.

So if I ever make it big, I can help drive users here. You just wait! It’ll happen any day now!
