To carry the whole VisionPro bag, keyboard and mouse instead of simply taking your laptop? The review makes it clear it's not usable without peripherals, you will still need some desk. It's solving a problem that doesn't exist.

It's not even that it's not feasible. The entire idea is stupid. VR makes a lot of sense in entertainment and AR will one day be really great for small things like showing map directions and notifications but the concept of a virtual computer controlled by waving your hands around is just silly. It will never make sense.

How is it blackmail if they are not asking for anything? It's harassment if it's distributed as fakes and defamation if someone claims it's real.

I used rust as a backend for a simple web app (axum and sea-orm), did some scripting for integrating couple of service (simple REST calls and some data processing) and recently I've been learning to build desktop apps using Tauri and Leptos. All personal projects so far but I contributed to one Leptos library a bit. Lemmy looks like interesting next step but there's always another project I would like to do and not enough time :)

Sounds interesting. I've been programming in rust for some time now but didn't get to looking at lemmy's codebase yet. This would motivate me to do it.

What? City is absolutely making money from repaving roads. The businesses that use those roads pay taxes, people that work in those businesses pay taxes. Good infrastructure brings more businesses and more people and let's city grow. You put money in it and it brings benefits later. That's exactly what investment is.

What % of profits do you get if the game is a success?

This is already done in other areas. In many places each bank offering has a single digit risk score. It's based on your exposure and how volatile the instruments it's investing in are. Savings account will be 1, stock market closer to 10. You're signing really complex contract with the bank but the risk can be objectively verified. Same could be done for ToS.

That's why repossessions are a booming business.

It's been a month but for anyone finding this thread.. Pocketbook is a good alternative (pocketbookstore.com). I had one for years and it was doing great but I stepped on it like an idiot... The base model is cheaper than Kobo and has all the same features + buttons.

You know that the art is based on Holy Week in Andalucia?

If anyone would care to read the article it's more about companies making more high end cars and running low stocks than making cars bigger. They reduced stock during the pandemic and discovered that they can make more money selling fewer cars with maxed out specs than a lot of base models. They simply don't have base models on stock now and people still have to buy cars so profits are soaring. Basically they made everyone depend on cars by killing public transport and are now milking it hard. Because what are you going to do? Work from home?
