Ah, OK. I don’t think I ever heard about that resolving, or if I did I didn’t care. That’s good that they were forced to allow that. It should probably go further still, like this Google case.

I suspect not. Even if they still work with SpaceX, the contracts could be handled in a way that doesn’t involve him. He could still manage the overall direction of the company but have others manage projects that require a clearance. I don’t know if this has ever been done before or if it would ever be done, but it is theoretically possible.

Alternatively, they could make a requirement that either Musk steps down, or is removed, from his position at SpaceX or they stop getting contracts. This would almost certainly work because the company doesn’t survive without these contracts most likely, or at least makes far less money. The board cares more about money than they do about him probably.

IIRC they are doing things like requiring payments to go through them, and all kinds of other monopolistic stuff. Yeah, they aren’t doing all the same things, but they’re doing a lot of it, and it’s more restricted by default so it’s even more pervasive.

While inconvenient, you could build it yourself if it’s a feature you really care about and don’t want to wait and hope it gets merged.

The reason why is because asking for a new thread is just you trying to hide. Odds are no one would see the new thread, and you’re also putting the effort onto others knowing that it likely won’t be done, so then you can act like you won. You’re intentions are crystal clear though and you just look like a fool.

Lol. I love the “you got me, so let’s take this discussion into privacy” line. What a joke.

When there aren’t any Palestinians left when Trump gets elected I hope you revisit your opinions and I hope you you can’t look yourself in the mirror. I know it feels great acting morally superior, but your not sacrificing your own life. Your sacrificing others lives for that feeling. It doesn’t hurt you, so you can keep pretending like you’re better than others for “drawing a line” but you’re not the people who are being killed and Trump is saying to finish.

We should protest and take action, but vote for those who will make things less bad. Our system is fucked, but making yourself effectively invisible doesn’t help. If your vote doesn’t got for one of the two parties you are worth as much as someone who doesn’t exist.

There are other means of resistance that don’t give power to those who will do worse. Take direct action and vote for who will reduce harm.

For sure, in the near future. Hopefully we can improve on that, but we have to have Palestinians alive to improve on it.

Yeah, it sucks but everyone just needs to hold their nose and do what will have the best outcome. Sadly, if Trump is elected, this will probably not be an issue in the future. Yeah, Harris needs to do more and the democrats need to be pressured into doing what’s right, but the only way that matters is if they’re in power. If Republicans have control, nothing you say regarding Palestine will matter.

Fair point I guess. If you want to watch porn with your parents, for some reason, but feel like that’s too far, I guess sex scenes is the best you can do.

I watched GoT largely with my parents. It shouldn’t be that big of a deal. That said, does it add anything? I can watch as much porn as a I want whenever I want.

Something I wanted to do when I had my Vive working, and I’m unsure if this is actually possible, is integrate the android watch OS into it. It’d be so nice to always have quick access to your device that is integrated into the VR space. I’m not sure why someone hasn’t done this yet (assuming they haven’t).

Yeah, I had a Vive. The lighthouses have failed now so it’s not currently usable, and I didn’t use it frequently and am now on Linux and haven’t looked into if VR will work for me now, so I haven’t gotten a replacement. I’ve thought about it though. It sucks that even I, who has used VR and enjoyed it, doesn’t currently feel the need to have a working headset.

Im going to look into a used headset and support on my device though. I might get back into it.

My comment they were replying to didn’t touch this, so they weren’t responding to that. However, I disagree we need some “killer app” to make adoption more likely. It’d be great, but I don’t see it happening. There’s nothing really that is done in VR that can’t also be on traditional displays. The advantage is immersion. It just has to be at a price that people find worth it.

People, especially companies, don’t like talking about this because it’s “obscene” or something, but, like so many things, I think porn is the way to sell VR. It gives an experience that, while still available in traditional formats, is quite different. It’s not a “killer app” but does provide distinct advantages not seen anywhere else.

3D printing is such a boon for this. You can make things for yourself put it online for free, and other people can also make it. There’s no need for a profit incentive. I hope in the future everyone owns a 3D printer.

Yeah, it’s really sad. VR is great for some experiences. There’s just two issues with it. The largest is the price. It’s pretty expensive for something that doesn’t have much content. The second smaller issue is that it’s too hard to swap into and out of. I can just sit down at my computer and instantly get into something, but switching to VR takes effort.

The price can probably be solved over time, assuming we keep making VR hardware. The convenience is harder. I don’t think there’s a solution to that, at least not in the near future.

Who’s boot? Linus’s or Putin’s? I’m assuming you’re on Russia’s side by your instance. It’s weird how constituent you people are. Literally anything, you’re defending Russia. If the US was invading a sovereign nation to take it under its influence, I’m sure you’d be against that. As would I, because I’m morally consistent. You somehow justify Russia’s actions yet are against the west expanding and exerting their influence. Care to enlighten me to the difference?

And before you answer: no, Ukraine is not part of Russia and did not start the invasion. Even under the USSR it wasn’t part of Russia. It was a member state of a union of states, as the name implies. Russia does not have any right to it.

You need to provide more things the more people come. Also, when the state is at fault for the death, maybe they should pay for it. However, most of this one was paid for by donations after Trump refused (which I assume would have come from his own money or his campaign money had he not, but IDK), which you’d know if you read the article.
