And people stay productive by enjoying hobbies and playing games. It’s an investment in infrastructure, just like fire, healthcare, police, power, water, transportation, etc.

You can enjoy hobbies without paying for unfinished games, early access is completely besides the point here. You can buy games when those are ready and be equally productive. If you like early access games you're free to buy them, I have nothing against it. But it's not an 'investment'. It just a discount.

To carry the whole VisionPro bag, keyboard and mouse instead of simply taking your laptop? The review makes it clear it's not usable without peripherals, you will still need some desk. It's solving a problem that doesn't exist.

It's not even that it's not feasible. The entire idea is stupid. VR makes a lot of sense in entertainment and AR will one day be really great for small things like showing map directions and notifications but the concept of a virtual computer controlled by waving your hands around is just silly. It will never make sense.

They don't make big pieces or graphene like that. It's made as a layer of graphene on some other material. Pure graphene flakes are tiny AFAIK.

How is it blackmail if they are not asking for anything? It's harassment if it's distributed as fakes and defamation if someone claims it's real.

I used rust as a backend for a simple web app (axum and sea-orm), did some scripting for integrating couple of service (simple REST calls and some data processing) and recently I've been learning to build desktop apps using Tauri and Leptos. All personal projects so far but I contributed to one Leptos library a bit. Lemmy looks like interesting next step but there's always another project I would like to do and not enough time :)

Sounds interesting. I've been programming in rust for some time now but didn't get to looking at lemmy's codebase yet. This would motivate me to do it.

What? City is absolutely making money from repaving roads. The businesses that use those roads pay taxes, people that work in those businesses pay taxes. Good infrastructure brings more businesses and more people and let's city grow. You put money in it and it brings benefits later. That's exactly what investment is.

What % of profits do you get if the game is a success?

Remember: can’t afford life? Move to a low cost of living area and drive 2 hours to work! …wait…

The article even mentions some research that in the suburbs people with cars tend to get better jobs.

Don't be silly. Those are not real eggs. Birds are not real and so aren't eggs.
