I don't think 3 monitors qualifies necessarily as "too many" under what I was saying before - I also have 3 monitors, one ultrawide and two portrait monitors on either side. I can see everything I need with only miniscule head movements, and I make a point of keeping my main focus work on the center display, to avoid neck strain.
My point there was directed mainly at the people who want VR workspaces so they can be surrounded in a sphere of monitors
even if that were true, you still don't present a way to actually solve the problem. Say a charismatic person arose from within your society, and without trying to excersize any actual authority, goes about winning the hearts and minds (and most importantly loyalty) of the others in the society. Not in the way of an actual "leader" persay, but just in a "They're everyone's best friend and confident" kind of way.
Now once they have a following within your society, they start to excersize pressures and influences slowly to change things they way they want. After-all, your society would have to allow changes, or else it would risk stagnating over time, or being unequipped to deal with changing circumstances, then when people get used to they're influence, and are convinced by this charismatic leader that they really have all their best interests at heart, and that they know the best way forward - they makes a power grab.
Literally all of human history says that this is not only possible - but guaranteed - and yes, people are free to leave after that, but he's already won over a huge chunk of the society, and they now want to stay - the rest will basically be forced to start a new group from scratch. Many won't want to leave all their friends and family behind over what are basically just political differences (again - see all of human history for examples), so a large chunk of the people who aren't actually won over by the charismatic leader will also choose to stay. So a relatively tiny minority is now free to choose to either peel off and begin recruiting and striving to find enough members to create a viable collective once again - or (far more likely IMO) they just break up and go their own seperate ways, wondering what went wrong with their dreams of utopia.
Don't get me wrong, it's a noble ambition, but it runs straight into all the same problems that most plans of this sort do - which is that humans are humans. Some of us just can't stand to not try to own everything, and most of us are deeply susceptible to charismatic leaders. Again, that's not my opinion, that's all of human history.
And before you say "Well, we'd have left well before he got so much influence" - are you planning to leave every time someone is good at making friends? Everytime someone convinces their friends over to their own viewpoint? Who gets to decide what constitutes a threat? If the answer is "every individual" than how could the society help but be constantly splitting apart into smaller and smaller pieces as they cut off more and more of the group. And what if the charismatic leader just goes with you? Do your members have the authority to detain them? And what about their friends? Are they expected to just abandon their friend because they're too friendly, and that's suspicious?
Sorry, but I just don't buy it as a viable strategy. Seems like the kind of thing that sounds great on paper, but would collapse within a few years at best
I don't agree, the MAGA crowd certainly doesn't want out - if anything, they want everyone else to leave. And so by leaving you'd be giving the fascists a clear field
Also it requires those people to want to leave. The whole problem with populist fascists is that they're good at winning purple over
Honestly yeah - I feel like to many of his competitors (especially DeSantis) are trying to emulate Trump, when really they should be going directly against him. They're scared shitless of pissing off his voters, but clearly trying to appeal to them by being Trump v2 isn't working either, so I don't see what they have to lose
but not because people like these companies
idk if it's a general trend, or just in my family - but all my hyper-conservative relatives are all huge Disney fanatics - I'm talking trips to the parks multiple times a year, Disney Cruises at least once a year, all the merch, movies, etc. Sure they whine about how "woke" the movies have gotten, but they still fucking love that damn mouse
Pretty sad that there are so many Pro-Russia shills on this site that this seemed like the least likely interpretation of your comment..
One of the biggest states in the country has already elected him right up to his term limits too.. We're absolutely fucked as a country
He wants to be Trump so bad - and everytime his poll numbers drop, it seems like he just tries to crank up his impersonation even more
we'll see, I'm skeptical out of the gate until reviewers get their hands on some models to play with as to whether or not it can fulfill it's many quite optimistic promises.
Even if it does everything it says on the tin (which frankly, I'm pretty doubtful about), my other concerns are still valid here. I just don't see what virtual screens add that physical screens don't give you. The only real advantage to something like that is that you can work anywhere I suppose - but for comfortable computer work, you're still going to want an ergonomic KBM setup, a comfortable ergonomic chair, and a decent desk - so even if this solves the monitor problem, it's not likely to lure many professionals away from their desks anyways.
If others really want to work in VR, more power to 'em, but I've yet to see anything (even super optimistic upcoming stuff like the Visor) that makes me seriously consider ditching my Physical monitors
Yeah fail2ban has worked great for me
I did in fact read them, I just don't agree that it's actually addressed beyond vague handwaves like "we'll be vigilant"
