9. Get off my lawn.

It’s not the same. Google is a US company.

It makes sense that it would use the GNIS, a system of the USGS, to put names on places.

It hasn’t changed here yet, but I figure when it does, Google will reflect the change.

To force chaos, and so they can show the “Trump fixed this” message

Very different. This means default ignore all errors and continue to the next line. You’d have to explicitly catch every line in most(all?) other languages.

I can understand your point until you get to the “there is no other platform like TikTok”. You lose me there.

Hopefully this little outage scare helps you to diversify!

That would require digital age competence. We don’t elect that, we like old rich dudes.

There’s no process to go through again. The law is in place now. It didn’t Target TikTok specifically by name. It’s based on foreign company ownership and number of US users. I don’t know the specifics though

Absolutely ageed. Apple isn’t leaning into ALVR and Steam VR support at all (understandably, given the ties to Mac).

Will be interesting to see where it goes. I wish someone could hack a corded TCP/IP solution. WiFi makes the ALVR finicky.

I agree with this simple yet unpopular opinion. I don’t need feelings and thought police.

Yeah that’s me. Back when I used Facebook you could say whatever the hell you wanted, and I thought and still think that’s how it should be.

For some reason this is now an unpopular opinion? What do I care if someone posts mean things? That’s life, people say mean shit all the time. We trying to stop that??

It does, through steamvr with a pc

I bought it. Only because I have the disposable income and could make it a business expense. That said, I use it as a gaming headset 95% of the time. It has an ALVR app so you can do Steam VR. I play mainly just flight simulator.

It’s good for working and watching entertainment on a plane also tho.

Depends on which team you ask.

Could it also be that the opinions you’ve mentioned, the “right”, are the majority, and they had been disproportionally silenced in favor of giving megaphones to the minority?

I could go both ways on this and it’s very hard to see, but I’m not in favor of disproportionally silencing or promoting any agenda or voice

80’s kid here…

We cannot go back to anonymous users calling each other names. People went way too far down the “my feelings are hurt and you’re going to jail” path. There’s no going back to “if you don’t like it go somewhere else” like it used to be.

Are you purposefully ignoring my info? I was homeless living in a shelter for a year. I still have a ton of friends with little to no money/income. The medical system takes care of all of them for free. With no insurance.

Having no insurance causes healthcare costs to be very reasonable and affordable. Paying for health insurance is NOT affordable.

Is there a reason you’re fighting back against this fact?

I’m pretty sure you’re missing my point. Healthcare is cheap af when you are uninsured.

No one NEEDS to pay for health insurance. It’s just a middle class thing that most do.

I still work. I just don’t play the health insurance coverage game.

Personally I own my own business, an LLC taxed as an S-Corp, and do software dev work through that paying myself a minimal W-2 wage.

But my point is that you can leave a job without worrying about losing health insurance coverage.

Yeah for sure. I think the right play is to have accident, hospital, and critical illness insurance from someplace like Aflac to cover those.

Leave your job and lose your insurance. Everything is 100x cheaper that way. Doctors charge very little for cash paying customers. Emergency rooms and urgent cares just write off most of it to charity and charge you a bit if anything at all. The most I’ve paid for is lab work, but that’s a few and far between and still only like 500 bucks for a full panel.

YMMV. I’ve been doing this for three years and have paid less in TOTAL than private insurance wants for ONE MONTH.
