I think it would be interesting to tie AI into player-generated content, like in VRchat. Imagine being able to describe a room or environment and have AI immediately build it around you, then you can tweak it. It would be like the Holodeck on Star Trek.

In my state you get a CCW just by walking into the courthouse, no classes needed, so I’m not sure how it works elsewhere.

You’re hired!

I changed my first name, and if I ever get married I’d take my partner’s last name. I’ve considered just changing my last name by myself but I would have no idea what name to pick. Ultimately I carry their name, but I’m not part of their family.

Just in case, if you’re unfamiliar with firearms most community colleges offer firearm safety courses for cheap or free.

This fits. I denied an applicant recently because he had not yet acquired the level of fear necessary to succeed in the role. Lack of fear means stupid mistakes. I’ll take the battle-hardened veteran any day.

Count me in on Android! Foxes are my spirit animal and I’m a chronically online loser so I’ll be a great beta tester.

That’s really interesting and I’d love to read more

Why would the bee enthusiasts cull honey bees?

You either work your way through life or you leech off of others. Those are the options. There are kids who grew up in war zones, sleeping through air raids and watching those around them die. They still work. There are kids who were in and out of foster care, kids who watched their parents OD, kids who were SA’d every night, kids who slept on the street. Few people have had the ideal childhood you’re describing. Those people still work. They get into therapy. They make something of their life.

Quit making excuses for your laziness. Get a job.

Sounds like you should use the same advice then - report them to their instance admins, block them, and move on.

I had a similar situation recently and reported the user to their instance admins, blocked them, and moved on.

Steam VR runs on Linux natively, doesn’t it? I switched to Linux a few weeks ago but haven’t tried VR gaming on it yet.

Yep, with the recent responses I now agree with you.

I don’t think they’re trolling, this seems to genuinely be their belief and warrants discussion. The poster mentioned recently that they have autism, and as a neurodivergent person myself I can attest that it often takes some back-and-forth to realize when I’m wrong.

“Just don’t get addicted to the thing designed to be addictive. It’s easy bro.”

I think they were using the karma count to show how much they utilized the platform, emphasizing how big the gesture of deleting their account was.

When I was deep in the Reddit hole I was obsessed with getting upvotes and avoiding downvotes. It was a dopamine hit. When I moved to Lemmy I joined an instance that doesn’t allow or show downvotes, and it has been a breath of fresh air.

I’m using a Samsung Odyssey Ark and use PIP or PBP to have my desktop and work laptop displayed together. No matter what I try, text becomes illegible on Windows in this mode, but it works flawlessly in Linux.

It worked for me. I was convinced to switch to Linux after joining Lemmy and I’m blown away every day at how much better it works. It’s just faster, smoother, and even has better compatibility with my monitor.

That’s your survival instinct doing what it’s supposed to do. Don’t let a stranger into your home, don’t go into a stranger’s home. That’s just asking to be a victim.
