@DaniGatunes As a PC guy, even... You'd be surprised what the M1's are capable of. Not sure if I'd even consider that a good deal.

So my laptop died and I just scored a brand new one with an i7 (16threads) + an RTX2060 for 850bucks.
As a former mac user it got me wondering...
Web graphics developers who are still buying macbooks, why would you do that to yourself?

The @htcvive Flow is an interesting product. Loving the look, the form factor, and the adjustable diopter lenses. I miss either an OLED display or higher resolution and some more powerful graphics, but very excited for the product line nonetheless: youtu.be/xyywAfzRVV0 #vr

This is pretty surreal, never thought my podcast @BtweenRealities would be teaming up with arguably the most prestigious source of VR news, @UploadVR, but here we are! Huge thank you to everyone at UploadVR for the opportunity. Can't wait to share more!

In the 1980s, Jaron Lanier realized that VR had the potential to be the ultimate tool for human manipulation. Today, we have @Meta. Lanier predicts that having a Metaverse on a @Facebook-like business model will destroy humanity: youtu.be/0ZdWM_H1gXk #vr #privacy

The Matrix introduced philosophical skepticism to the masses. 20 years and a few VR headsets later, the topic is more actual than ever.

#NFT collectors: what makes you decide for a project? Is it exclusivity, uniqueness, aesthetics/liking the art, or artist reputation/authority? Or something completely else! Would love to hear perspectives on this.

One would imagine @Snowden to be a prime candidate to appreciate the liberties offered by VR tech of being social in a shared environment. Now, @Meta is of course unacceptable. But sadly, blockchain solutions are also lacking in their ability to compete: @VindenesJ/edward-snowdens-problem-with-the-metaverse-1d7e78ddf92" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@VindenesJ/edw…

While I am a big believer in the potential of #blockchain tech to create a decentralised Metaverse, approaches based on exclusive and scarce virtual land is entirely backwards and fails to grasp at what the Metaverse will become. Here’s why: link.medium.com/O0wNnSqxIlb #Decentraland

"Lanier’s grand vision for VR was that it could allow deep, true, and genuine human connection. His worst nightmare was that it would be the perfect technology for unconscious human manipulation: The perfect tool for the perfect, perfectly evil Skinner box."

New @medium piece out, discussing the ultimate danger of @meta. As a tldr, I'll quote Jaron Lanier's warning: "Turing^Moore’s Law * (Pavlov, Watson, Skinner) = Zombie Apocalypse" @VindenesJ/how-jaron-lanier-the-father-of-vr-warned-us-about-meta-6456bfd05cbc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@VindenesJ/how…

The decentralization that #blockchain technologies offers is incredibly dangerous to companies that profit from being the middle-man. Most noteworthy is banking, but also companies like @Uber, and eventually, @Meta, who wants to facilitate/sell every inch of human communication.

.@Meta wants to create a centralized walled garden where its users do not have voting rights. If successful, it will be a dystopian virtual dictatorship where your personal (biometric) data will be sold to the highest bidder. A discussion of alternatives: youtu.be/eWx-WEmFaF0

Facebook is Facebook. Don't write about the name, write about what they do, because that's what matters.
Paperwork doesn't change the nature of a thing.

Apparently, a centralized walled garden (@meta / @Facebook ) claims to be the Metaverse. I hope people can feel the ugly taste in their mouth and the sweet taste of boycott. Relevant read: medium.com/meta-verses/th… #privacy #meta #metaverse
