Kamala should start running against/debating with Nicky Haley and just ignore Trump, sends a signal and would likely result in an actual debate on policy… Imagine that!
i wouldn’t normally be concerned since any company releasing a VR product with this price tag is obviously going to fail… but it’s apple and somehow through exquisite branding and sleek design they have managed to create something that resonated with “tech reviewers” and rich folk who can afford it....
imagine you are watching youtube on this thing and when an ad shows up, you can’t look away, even if you try to they can track your eye movement and just move the window, you can’t mute it, you certainly cannot install adblock on it, you are forced to watch the ad until it satisfies apple
WUT? Apple is very focused on privacy and the idea that a user can't mute or install Adblock is… weird. Safari has good ad-blocking options as well as built-in anti-tracking features to protect users, applications can't usually prevent the system from muting content and Apple doesn't really sell ads outside of the App Store.
If you want to worry about that stuff I'd suggest focusing on the Meta VR goggles or god forbid Google starts making goggles, both of those companies survive on ad revenue and have an incentive to enshitify their experience in ways that the Apple we know today would never do. Of course companies can change over time, but the ethic at Apple is to only make products they feel comfortable with their families using.
I’m so fucking irritable right now, every little thing is annoying me and my chest is tight, I keep clenching my teeth. I’m very familiar with these things, these are how my body is telling me “go smoke a ciggy”...
Another thing to consider: nicotine accelerates caffeine metabolism. Therefore, if you are feeling irritable and have recently ingested caffeine (coffee, tea, energy drink, etc.) then you can expect a craving for the antidote.
Think of all those folks who used to hang out at coffee shops, smoking cigarets. Up on the cup of coffee, down on the smoke. Just riding the roller-coaster all day.

Mozilla is ~83% funded by Google. That’s right- the maker of the dominant Chrome browser is mostly behind its own noteworthy “competitor”.

Elon Musk says no primates died as a result of Neuralink’s implants. A WIRED investigation now reveals the grisly specifics of their deaths as US authorities have been asked to investigate Musk’s claims.
This story is getting a lot of play, seems like someone in the defense industry is pushing it hard.
Giving Starlink away for free as a humanitarian effort for the people of Ukraine makes a lot of sense, it's the right thing to do and good PR for Space X.
Using Starlink for military operations also makes a lot of sense, if you need it, they are building out "Starshield" services for just that purpose but it's not what the current network was designed for and it's hard to get the appropriate licenses in a war zone.
As for asking for someone to pay for the service: nobody is giving away military hardware for free, it's all on lend-lease agreements that Ukraine will eventually have to repay over time (the UK only recently finished paying their WWII bills to the US on similar agreements).

Anyone who wants to… I regularly cook more than I can eat myself, having a place to share leftovers would be a nice way to give back to my neighborhood.
Yeah, know why the conservative element continually oppresses LGBTQ+BBQ folks? They are terrified of loosing the leverage it gives them in propaganda. Without an 'other' to demonize, there's no good way to whip up a general feeling of 'ick' about any random person.
So, one of the cool things about the fediverse is that you can follow mastodon accounts from Lemmy or kbin or any other federated site and vice versa. Pick the service that has the UI you want (Mastadon is Twitter like, kbin and Lemmy are Reddit like) and keep an eye on everything!
