Maybe that’s an American thing. The first libertarians I met were atheists, and who all thought Christianity was accurately represented in those little pamphlets about young girls going to hell over one stupid decision. As opposed to, you know, Mother Theresa, or any liberal Catholic actively involved in aid work.
(No, I’m not Christian. I just know there’s sometimes a big distance between the practice and the dogma.)
Well, at least there might be some appropriate backlash going on:
Aren’t current phone screens high-res enough?
I’d like to know how Steve Mann’s Eyetap, which projects onto the retina, would fare in this application. Maybe you need a matrix of tiny projectors to allow for eye movement, I dunno
He looks like an oversized anthropomorphic turd.
There’s different degrees of visual defects that can arise depending on the lenses that are used and depending on the underlying display technology. Regular square pixels with have a screen door effect, even the highest resolution screens right now will still have this issue but it won’t be as apparent. Other display tech have other arrangements for the pixels other than square which also changes how the screen door effect can be perceived.
There are some displays that do beam the image directly to your retina but from what i’ve heard while the resolution is pretty good there’s still some shortcoming with the sharpness there as well. Instead of using a lens it uses really tiny mirrors to split and beam the light into your eye and it’s still relatively new tech.
Somebody is trying not to get fired…
So he’s not outright supporting Trump, he’s just actively trying to flush public discourse even further down the sewer.
Pretty much – and they need to be spaced out no further than the ever-changing diameter of the pupil.
The perfect VR display has a long list of requirements and constraints, and while we’ve more or less solved each of the problems in isolation, combining them is an exceptionally difficult task. AR is a similar story.
Oh yeah, I saw that. The funniest part is - basically immediately, the authors of the Daily Beast article came forward with screenshots of the emails from him earlier in the week, where he not only says, but clarifies beyond doubt that he wrote those posts.
On top of that, I think maybe Palmer was hoping we forgot back in April, where he was willingly interviewed as a trump supporter, complaining about Anti-trump protestors, after leaving a trump rally, while wearing a “Can’t stump the Trump” t-shirt. (If the time link doesn’t work, at 1:52)
Oops.
Its guilt by association (other than the billboard), but it’s a very strong association. We can’t point to a single meme and say, “We have proof that Lucky paid $10 to have this meme created and posted to twitter and Reddit. Here is the check stub.” But the memes are emanating from members of the group he is sponsoring.
The memes themselves go beyond mere anti-Hillary, and well into the racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, and misogynistic. They’re being posted in “appropriate” threads. Some threaten violence—depictions of a Pepe the Frog in Nazi regalia murdering the recepient, who is adorned with a Star of David, for example. Other memes were anti-black or anti-Mexican and included false crime statistics or photos of recent victims of police brutality (with racist captions). A majority of these memes (that I saw, anyway) were posted by users with “deplorable” in their user names and white supremacist code words in their bios, as well as pro-Trump hashtags. Alt-right stuff.
It wasn’t all memes. There were tweets containing death threats and rape threats.
Maybe I should have been screen capping all this stuff, but it really makes me sick. Not gonna do it. I’m more the block it and forget it type.
This stuff was on the upswing until Lucky got nailed. Then it seemed to slow,down a bit. Again, that’s circumstantial. At this point Donald Trump, Jr. posted that skittles meme, which provoked a huge reaction/backlash. The impression I got was that somebody was telling the deplorable posters to cool it. The stuff I’ve seen in the last day have been retweets.
I don’t know if Palmer Yucky is directly responsible. But he’s closely associated with this network of posters/tweeters. That’s enough for me to not want anything to do with anything he has touched. I dont care if he’s not voting for Trump and is only doing this for the lulz.
You don’t have to believe me. Go on twitter, look through pro-trump and white supremacy hashtags. When you see one posted by a deplorable, look at his followers and who he’s following. You might have to dig a bit, but eventually you’ll hit gold. When you do it will be a bonanza.
I get you, Gyro. I felt the same way once upon a time. I might have ironically supported something like the Trump campaign back then. Fuck 'em all, and let it all burn down. Fuck 'em if they can’t take a joke. Punk in drublic.
I feel a little queasy remembering that me. I was conservative, but found most conservatives to be just as idiotic as the liberals. Really I was flirting with Nihilism.
I’m sure we are seeing some of that among some in the alt-right. We are also seeing (the majority, I think) many who are outright unapologetic white supremacists. I never went that far, thank god. In my punk days I favored SHARPS over skins. Still do, but I have no tolerance for skinheads now.
Pow, that was it. For some reason I didn’t think of the word (or I didn’t want to).
hehe, stupid two top executives, thinking anyone was trying to stop someone from any of that, instead of realizing there’s a price to pay regardless.
Poor poor near-billionares, how censored they feel when they engage in dirty pool, then claim they thought that dirty pool meant pooping in the pool and they just wanted to see how big a floater they had in them.
There seems to be some conflation between some of both the reporting and criticism which ignores the distinctions between supporting a cause, and working to destroy someone else’s cause. It’s like the difference between me being free to post a Clinton sign in my front yard, or deciding instead to trash my neighbor’s Trump signs. Isn’t me painting over their signs free speech? What hypocrisy!
Lucky knows that “shitposting” is designed to hinder the signal-to-noise ratio of political discourse, and hurts people in defense of a reactionary ideology. What amazes me about such people is why they suppose that people who have their representation disrupted would resign themselves to live under the former’s preferred candidate.
Incidentally, it’s pathetic that some of you are using this as an opportunity to debate Oculus vs Vive technical merits and capabilities. Head in the sand much?
That is all. You may now go back to sleep.
Yeah, I’m still a little chafed by how the whole thing (before this new bit) went down. I backed the kickstarter based on the promise of cross-platform support (Mac, for me, but Linux was an idealogical plus).
I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.
Are you saying that you know definitively which unit can best augment a toilet?
Because that’s a bold claim.
And perfeclty analogous to the presidential contest.
Which is what they were really discussing all along!1!!
