Umm, correct me if this seems like a bad take…but is there a need for a new console generation considering the overlap of the xbone/ps4 with this gen? Only the Nintendo Switch is in dire need of a hardware upgrade, especially with handheld gaming computers like Steam Deck offering much needed competition.

Of course, I’m all about non invasive spy wear! If you get one, just remember to temper your expectations! It will get there….eventually <3

Hopefully you will have fun! It isn’t too much trouble to set up, and it has some pretty cool apps!

I don’t necessarily think it’s too late. There will be a niche that someone/some entity will settle into for us privacy minded folk. Hopefully that niche gets beefy processors and extra ram fr fr

So Pine 64 has a PineTime watch that is pretty nifty if people want sans spying techwear. Very basic and very alpha/beta mode…but it gets better every so often! More people use it or know about it, the more development it gets!

Karl Marx isn’t really random, he is the godfather of communism. Now I am not a full blown communist by any means but Karl Marx was a really smart dude who correctly saw and anticipated the negative effects of capitalism. It’s ok to disagree, I respect that completely but I’d ask we keep it civil.

I get what your saying completely. I don’t disagree per se actually (my brain tells me we just have lived in a crazy time for the past couple hundred years, guns are super prolific.). I would love if the police disarmed as well.

I appreciate the information! I’ll check my labels!

Dude I did a play through about 4 years ago. It holds up to this day! Fucking fun game, and the color indicator around the enemies was a genius move. Makes it almost like a rhythm game.

Dang, I really need to get another light gun set up lol

I really enjoyed Radiant Silvergun. Just a nice well done shoot ‘em up.

Also partial to Albert Odyssey. The translation is remarkably bad but it did have a nice story and some sweet sprite work. Standard JRPG fair.

The best for me was the Panzer Dragoon series. All 3 are just top notch bangers.

Normally I would just let it slide, but I’m bored so why not have some discourse :)

1. I do not own fire arms personally due to mental health issues. I do carry pepper spray and have a taser readily available. Worst case scenario a bow I use for hunting.

2. There are legitimate uses for fire arms full stop. Protection against bodily threats, hunting, tyrannical government, etc.

3. I support universal background checks and “common sense gun regulation”. It is a dangerous tool, but it is still just a tool. I’d love to see mandatory fire arm safety training before attempting to buy a gun.

4. Workers rights are bogged down because of hierarchical systems designed towards uplifting the few and the expense of the many.

Why should the government have exclusive use of violence? In any case, the eventual goal (for me personally and people like me) is peace and liberty. Until that happens the working class must have access to fire arms. The people who should not own guns are those with mental health issues, and access should be limited to trained/responsible individuals.

“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary” —-Karl Marx

So Microsoft is one of the most valuable companies in the entire world. They have a stranglehold on corporate America, power a huge the cloud infrastructure, hold one of the largest sources of telemetry/user data, and are the defacto standard of PC environments worldwide.

Why in the fuck do they need to pivot to ads? I’m genuinely curious. Even if they lost 50% of their entire business they would still be one of the most profitable companies in the world.

There is so much music now, once I found out an artist doesn’t align with my values it’s easy to drop them.

Funny enough ( not funny at all actually) your old grow up home adjusted for inflation accounts for just under $700k. So they added 900k on top of that. Over two times the price for the same home accounting for inflation

Yes! Yes you can! Vectoring synthesis voices is also cool!

This is the way. But milk teas and boba tea is pretty good for a tea mix drink.

Several modular synth modules use joysticks for control over parameters, but one of the coolest I’ve seen is one from Delptronics that uses a wii nunchuck controller to send out control voltage. Hagiwo I believe also has a similar DIY design.

Oh boy, such a fantastic console.

I feel like this is ripe for abuse. I’m sure insurance companies purchase this data to screw their customers in some wicked way
