Haha the same happened to me and I laughed triumphantly (as they continue to harvest my data)

Settings->data and privacy-> turn alllll that shit off

I didn’t get one because of my strict discord privacy settings

He’s recently been less active due to an illness and then death in the family. He talked about it in a community post. Either way, I’m glad he found a pace that better fits him.

Here’s a range:

Sebastian Lague - game dev and software dev exploration

Pitch Meeting - film summary in short satire comedy form

Sick Animation - fucked up animations

Will McDaniel - comedy sketches using practical effects, puppets and fx makeup

DefendTheHouse - gaming myth busters and community content

FunWithGuru - showcasing easter eggs in games

Smart phones aren’t magic. They are also not super high tech spy devices. They are dangerous because they promote you to willingly give all your personal information away. They usually aren’t spying on you in secret instead you’re giving them all the information you want. People get Google and Facebook accounts and tie their full name, date of birth, gender, family relationships, sexual preferences, upload photos of themselves and all their friends, then spend 6h a day using the services which gives them plenty of usage data to tell them what you like, what you hate, what engages you, what they can market to you, your fears, your fetishes, your secrets, etc. You may opt in to Google maps tracking your location history. You can literally check by going onto your Google account and checking your location history. It tracks everywhere you go. They have enough information to know where you go every Thursday at 1750 and who you’re with and how bad the traffic was and potentially even what beer you bought.

But they don’t do it in secret. They make sure to ask you first but hope you are too ignorant to question the point of it. You ever hear people say “it’s fine I have nothing to hide”? That’s the propaganda at work. Throw privacy away for the convenience of being able to look at ai memes on instagram.

You agree to allow your phone to listen all the time when you enable siri or Google assistant. You allow it to scan your face to use face unlock but it’s not that they’re collecting this information in secret. They don’t even need your camera footage and your secret voice recordings, and they don’t need to steal your dick pics.

They already have everything they need. We gave it to them.

Wait where does control go?

So many cool photographs and artworks you could have chosen but you post an ai generated facsimile instead :(

Sync thing has been great and convenient for me. Use tailscale, zero tier or just raw wire guard to see each other

Theoretically that would just mean going deaf right? If so I could still feel vibrations and so on. So I guess it suck immensely but I wouldn’t lose the ability to partake in rhythms and may be able to enjoy bass.

Is this the guy who shot himself and his friend used his skull fragment as a necklace?

Is the whole age verification thing void if you compile the OS yourself?

Mmm yes I love companies collecting poop biometrics about me

Yeah and the new guy takes 3 days to finish the job that the old carpenter can do in 2hrs. And when he wants it done faster he quickly asks the old guy to do it for him. That’s why nobody else in the site likes him.

Maybe drop the embed…

There’s issues with all the analogies. If I tilt the stick left, if it was my neck, then I would roll my neck to the left and I’d need to twist the stick to look around. Perhaps this is the missing control scheme we’ve been waiting for.

The back lever thing is a simplification. It’s more that they visualise it as controlling the yaw and pitch, like gluing the joystick to the top of their head. Point is though that it’s there as an accessible option

Its two different perspectives. One is controlling a character as if they are controlling a camera from the rear. The other is the more common, where you’re using the joystick to move the point that you’re looking at.

Its not so bad, it’s just a context switch. In an fps game you’re changing the direction your character is intending to look. Wanna look left, tilt left. Wanna look up, tilt up.

In a flying game, you’re controlling the attitude of the plane, it helps to think of your joystick being glued to the top of the plane.

I like to imagine inverted players control their character by grabbing a stick on the top of their characters head
