The internet connects people
  • These people are documenting the history of an important part of our infrastructure. One video from a channel in this community documented a 1970s home security system as he was contracted to remove it. It’s super fascinating learning how these things function and watching them be tested. Such content can also help a person get over fear of alarms!

  • Ancient Mayan vase purchased by US woman for $4 returned to Mexico
  • Very noble of her to return that piece of history to where it belongs.

  • Apple Reportedly Suspends Work on Vision Pro 2
  • Yeah, that’s why I mentioned upcoming PC support for PS VR2.

  • Apple Reportedly Suspends Work on Vision Pro 2
  • You've nailed it. Ordinarily, Apple is good at throwing its weight (money) around to make things like this happen, but it seems like there weren't many takers this go-round, so we just got an overpriced, beautiful and fascinating paperweight.

    That's why the biggest use case for VR has been gaming and metaverses. It's a ready-to-go thing that adapts well, but it's certainly not for everyone. For my part, I'm saving up for a PS VR2, because it's adding PC support soon and I already own a PS5 as well. Far, far cheaper than Apple's device, and likely quite good still.

  • Apple Reportedly Suspends Work on Vision Pro 2
  • It's a flex because the vision pro has the best optics and display technology ever made. It's stupid because it has no use. It's not a flex because it's expensive, it's expensive because it's a flex, if that makes sense.

  • Apple Reportedly Suspends Work on Vision Pro 2
  • Everyone I’ve talked to that has used a Vision Pro has said it’s an incredible piece of magical technology, but it’s utterly useless.

    It’s literally just Apple flexing.

  • In historic first, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vetoes most arts funding in Florida
  • Coming in strong just to agree with the commenter. Great job

  • Toilet rule
  • This is for content warnings. People discuss political things on a site like blue sky. This is to hide such discussion in case even hearing the topic being discussed is harmful for you. It’s a good feature.

  • Why don’t you like Apple?
  • If you have terabytes of data in iCloud, use their mail, contacts, photos, everything? Plus decades of purchased content, expensive devices losing functionality by dropping the iPhone… you have to basically replace everything with something else and it’s tedious especially for a less techy person. This is the reason walled gardens are anti consumer.

  • Why don’t you like Apple?
  • I think for most privacy nuts it comes down to “I don’t trust them and it’s closed source. They could be hiding anything in that code.”

    And then there’s the people who can’t afford or won’t spend the money it takes to have an enjoyable Apple experience. It genuinely costs multiple thousands of dollars to get into the Apple ecosystem and then it’s massively painful to get out. It’s basically just “corporation bad” because corporations are bad. The only way to be truly private is to not carry a phone at all and use only FOSS solutions.

  • Toilet rule
  • BlueSky bans Nazis and transphobes. Twitter encourages them. It’s that simple.

  • This week in KDE: Final Plasma 6.1 polishing and new features for 6.2
  • Oh good. 6.1 seems to fix the only bugs that have personally bothered me. I’m stoked!

  • Minecraft players outraged as Microsoft deletes accounts that weren't transitioned
  • A downvote is confirmation that you are one of the idiots lol

  • Saw a nazi today
  • Well of course you did. They’re Hoosiers.

  • I somehow broke my Debian bookworm install…
  • Got into an argument about this once. The other person insisted that if I wipe my hard drive and reinstall, that I’m a pathetic moron who doesn’t deserve to use a computer.

    In fairness, it’s usually better to fix things so you can learn, but dang they were toxic.

    The psychological warfare that happens internally when I come to pay my restaurant bill is killing me
  • I have a very simple rule.

    If I am seated, I will tip. Bartender, barista, restaurant, doesn’t matter. If I’m walking up and standing around and serving myself, you can shove that iPad up your ass.
