What? I thought the point of the octagon was so you can also tell its a stop sign from the other side and always know who has priority. Yet some countries say, nah circle is good. Speed limit? Circle. Stop? Circle.
Isn't it funny, when you visit a relative or friend and see their TV and web browser experience is full of ads and shit, while at home you see no ads and sometimes forget they even exist? I've noticed this many times.
I think the better question is will they be able to buy them all. Buying implies the other party is willing to sell.
Its true that this information will be harder to access if not indexed properly, but word of mouth is a good backup for that. I didn't find lemmy from google, someone (non corporate entity) posted a link to it somewhere. Now, that 'somewhere' may be corporate controlled and ban certain links but I'd argue that will just split the internet into two (a corporate side and "free" side) with little cooperation between them and I don't think anyone will be able to keep people from either side - as long as the internet remains neutral.
I think its just too hard to completely control information unless you are a nation state (and even then).
So I don't just wake up as Kane, but as him as we're landing on Stroggos and have to go through that whole ordeal haha. Kinda fucked then. I also wonder how I'll be able to find love looking like that.
I think its the same problem with the press on TV and print form. Rich individuals can buy up all press outlets and control the narrative. Its hard (and restrictive) to broadcast on TV and print. On the internet, at least the freedom to publish and access information has a low barrier to entry. A rich individual may buy one lemmy instance, can they buy them all? Can they buy its successor? The lower barrier and less restrictive nature of the internet (or how it should be) is too fast moving for them to compete imo. All the states need to do is educate people on how to consume media correctly.
What I believe is in freedom of the internet. As in everyone should be able to access it and no one should be able to police what is on it. Complete free flow of information. Reddit should exist in the state that it does and lemmy should be there to counter balance it and no nation state should be able to say "no, we only allow one of these". This doesn't undermine any existing legal frameworks mind you. For example: distribution of underage pornography is still a crime almost everywhere and those who operate such sites are fair game for prosecution.
I get this may be too radical of an idea for some, but I truly believe education is the key to information literacy, not censorship.
Press and hold the mute button to mute your mic and to
turn off sound output from the speakers on your controller
and TV. Press the mute button again to return to the original
state.
Not exactly, but you get my point. Its not so different, just different standards using the same principles.
Analog to digital has been the biggest change I've noticed honestly - but still the same coax that brought me cartoons in the 90's (analog) carries my internet today (digital).
If you're in the position to do so: try getting a job as a software developer for a year before going to college. If you're able to demonstrate you've already worked on your own projects, you will be taken more seriously than cs majors fresh out of college who've only seen code in home work assignments. Do this to get to see how software development works as a career and see if you fit in it.
You don't generally need a degree to be a programmer and in this field, experience is often more valuable than a degree. What college can offer is connections and the opportunity to find your actual calling.
I dont particularly like Razer, but if there's anything they do well, its marketing. They're right.. if they're able to sell a key cap for 90 bucks, their marketing must have been so good in the past they created a literal materialistic cult.
This obviously isn't for me, its for their cult members. I hope one day, they can exit the public peripheral market and sell exclusively to their cult members at 1000% markup.
First job was like this, one cubicle was the size of four of these and one person per corner with 2m space between each desk . Tons of plants all around, cube was next to a window. Temperature was constant, work was easy enough to slack off sometimes weeks at a time.
Privacy wasn't the best, but no one in my 6 years working there could differentiate between me reading a book on the screen and actually working lol. Its just words on the screen, make it look like work and you can do everything. Boss even called me a model worker at a yearly review when I myself thought I might be pushing it too far. Seems I wasn't slacking off nearly enough!
Anyway, I know this isn't indicative of cubicles, but if you're the right type of person, they can be a good place to work. If you can still find any.
And sell pom-poms?

Discovering the next track button on my steering wheel does a +30sec instead of skip track was a game changer lol

Damn, 2016 PC's gotta be tough. My current one is from 2023 and replaced one from 2017. It would still be good for non gaming things though.

Very ascetic of you.

Quake 4, so I'm Corporal Matthew Kane. Hopefully, post stroggification? Half human, half machine.
80-20 rule still holds true, huh?

I like to think of it this way:

Afaik, it also can mute all PS5 audio, not just voice chat.

Hey, we're all broken inside. You don't need to point it out.
