There are two possible futures: one where those chosen for governance due to infinite free time are replaced by those with better ideas or one where I need to learn chinese

@RustyCrab If that happens, I'm unironically switching to BSDs and buying a mac later.
@phnt so true king
@RustyCrab @phnt actual metaverse was a cool idea it's too bad that the version everyone wanted to get us on was the corporate enclosed and centralized version
@sun @phnt i never once encountered anyone anywhere that thought the metaverse was a good idea. Everyone (both for and against) was dead set on it being nothing but a way to be horrifically invasive in your employees lives
Also i never even heard of something called metaverse outside of the satanic facebook version

@RustyCrab @phnt realistically I don't know how you'd make a decentralized 3d world anyway, bandwidth be too high for a lot of simultaneous users
@sun @RustyCrab @phnt Ive been looking into VR stuff lately and will probably try and build something in https://overte.org/index.html
@harblinger @RustyCrab @phnt I was looking at that mozilla thing but it was heavily tied to AWS and I failed an attempt to convert it to not be
@sun @RustyCrab @phnt this? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/end-support-mozilla-hubs I had never even heard of it RIP 🪦

@sun @RustyCrab @phnt Animal crossing islands but fedi. There's a max amount of people possible on one island.
What would be funny is that if people could throw things at one island to another (like you see in the angry birds movie).

@sun @RustyCrab @phnt actual metaverse existed in a book, of course it was cool
it was second life but planet sized

@RustyCrab @phnt if we pump enough cash into it, we can bring this extremely rotten corpse back to life
@phnt@pl.borked.technology @RustyCrab@clubcyberia.co @kirby@freerobuxextremist.com in 5 years i'll have infinite employment as a contractor which removes the damage from vibe coding from a company's codebase. ai generated codebases are going to keep programmers employed for the next 50 years.
@jeff @RustyCrab @kirby @phnt But think about all the bootcamp shitters that got removed from the job in the last two years!
@idiot@shitposter.world @RustyCrab@clubcyberia.co @kirby@freerobuxextremist.com @phnt@pl.borked.technology when (not if) they enter the work force it'll be a shock to the system for all the ai people, omg junior developers are cheaper to train than ai? who knew?
@phnt@pl.borked.technology @RustyCrab@clubcyberia.co @kirby@freerobuxextremist.com you have no idea how bad it's going to be jfc
@phnt @RustyCrab no way, really? a neo?
@mischievoustomato @RustyCrab Probably a crapbook pro. Because desktop loonix is becoming an absolute joke and I can't keep making my system de-fluoridated with Gentoo use flags indefinitely. There's a point in time when that simple will not be possible.
@phnt @RustyCrab
I'm already two steps ahead of you and it's hard to recommend. I've spent a lot of time since the beginning of the year weighing my options for de-itoddlerization, actually.

@idiot @RustyCrab The mindset is that I won't mind how rotten the base when I can't change it anyway on Windows or macOS. Just like I can mostly tolerate Windows when it is LTSC and a few convenience programs like Powertoys and Autohotkey.
@idiot @phnt @RustyCrab I went went back to dumphones.
As for desktop computer I just follow the FSF.

@mangeurdenuage @RustyCrab @phnt I hope you recognize the use case for phones with more than T9 typing and desktops with more than four ancient cores and 4GB of DDR2. Yeah, you can technically get more by running that dual Opteron board, but my power bill has doubled in the last year as it is already. If you relax and settle for coreboot with me_cleaner, you at least can move up bigly to a T480.
In a shocking twist of fate -- at least in the US -- the limiting factor in distancing yourself from the botnet isn't Google or Apple, it's the carriers being so strict these days with what they allow on their networks. Big tech just happens to welcome you with open arms from there.
