  • My point is that you can’t compare a platform like reddit to a protocol like email.

    While gmail and outlook are insanely big, how much of all email traffic do they handle? Sure, they are insanely big, but I doubt they are above 50%

    On the other hand, how big is reddit compared to all other link aggregators? I think it’s pretty surely far above 50%.

    Or how big is YouTube as a VOD platform?

    I’m not advocating for discuit, but being like “they think federation can’t build a mainstream platform, but look at email” is kind of missing the point.

    Also email is the only example for federation. It’s an outlier, mainly because it was one of the first things on the net. Everything else is platforms, unfortunately.







  • Yea and guess what, you can’t see latency in a YouTube video either.

    It’s the first device that keeps the latency sub 12ms. Frankly, I never tried it, but it’s something no other VR device achieved. I doubt it’s fake until proven otherwise, 12ms is almost instant.

    Your only argument is “I get sick from VR pass-through”. Well, this is a new device that may have solved it, yet you continue to be set on your opinion based on past experiences with other, worse devices.











  • I think the bigger societal problem is that people need to start thinking differently of how charging works. It won’t and doesn’t need to work like refueling.

    What I mean is, nobody would refuel every day at the beginning of their 10km commute. What they’ll do is commute for 2 weeks, and when the car is empty they’ll refuel and then continue on their way.

    With EVs, this can be different. Once chargers (and not even fast chargers) are placed on every major location, you don’t need to go 0-100% in 99% of the cases. Getting groceries? Charge at the store for 30mins Going to the gym? Charge there for an hour or two Going out for dinner? Charge for 3h

    The car doesn’t need to go empty all the way. Obviously you can’t do that with the current infrastructure, but with enough effort, that’s easily achievable.
