No surprise when the mod was behind a patreon paywall, and there has been a history of companies shutting down mods like that.

All that second to second record keeping that happens passively requires surveillance.

Difference is that you are in control of the data instead of entrusting it to a third party.

I think that is probably the difference between those who are for the idea and against. Compared to even the average person it seems like you want constant surveillance and recording under the condition you control it. And then others just don’t find the need for constant ever present recording even if it is under their complete control.

Which is probably why some don’t find the idea of recording glasses appealing at all, since it’s not something they find a desire for. While those who want everything thing to be documented do.

Yes so only a memory will remain that will glitch out over time like a still life from the backrooms, so it becomes hard to deciper what the original looked like.

They are playing dumb on purpose because they are likely one of those people who wants recording glasses to be widespread enough that people stop being bothered that everyone they encounter is recording them. Then they can get some really nice footage.

I personally wouldn’t consent to being part of facial recognition even if it were friends and family in control of the data.

Maybe there will be some opt out tech in the future so people just show up blurred or a silhouette and distorted audio when people attempt to record or take pics of them, and it requires enabled consent before hand for them to be able to be recorded normally.

I think goal is to at least keep recording glasses from gaining widespread adoption, since once that is culturally accepted then the fight is pretty much over.

So while there are other recording methods it is the reason this one has been the focus of attention.

If I were in the market for a new GPU this would be the one I’d get for a more hassle free Linux gaming experience compared to Nvidia.

Browser would be simplest. Even though I prefer Linux and do run it, Windows might be better in your case with it having the DRM support and apps to run those services at higher resolution and HDR that sticking with browser might not allow.

For my case I picked up a cheap MiniPC and install Fedora on it to use instead of the TV interface.

People do pick up Pixel phones to install GrapheneOS on. How many people pick up Apple phones/tablets and are able to install another OS on it and have it as functional as GrapheneOS?

Same with smartwatches which from the Android side can be used offline with apps like Gadgetbridge to retrieve data without giving your watch internet access and not using the official apps.

Apple is very account and OS centric wanting to funnel everything through them. Exception has been MacOS devices which has had better luck with stuff like Asahi Linux.

My living room set up has been TV not connected to internet and hooking up a minipc running Fedora. Could run Windows if DRM content from streaming services is important to you.

Kind of fascinating the whole tinfoil spying angle was about governments, but turns out even if governments didn’t do it companies now have every incentive to do it to monetize your data.

Regular monitors possible good route too if you don’t need huge screens. And if you are a pc gamer then you at least get higher than the 120 hz cap lot of TVs come with these days, and the added benefit of it being a dumb panel.

You can paste urls into youtube transcript sites and skim through it in a couple minutes. Comes in convenient when you don’t want to sit for the entire length of the video and prefer to read.

Chances of me buying from them died years ago when they paid to pull Metro Exodus from being released on Steam.

I will take the free games though. I like free. Keep those coming I’ll claim them.

There’s too many games even if you limit it to only well known triple a titles to get around to buying and playing.

Not surprising with how much the cost and barrier to entry to make and release games has gotten. Most challenging thing now is to get noticed.

It seems you are insulted at the general idea of having suggestions given, and fall to subjective claims for your argument and throw in insults like saying I sound machine translated.

Doesn’t seem like you ever wanted a discussion in the first place but to vent.

This seems to complete dismiss the existence of mods which for pc gamers some find hard to go back to the vanilla version.

Which overturns the idea with it not being concepts but actual ideas to solutions put out by people who weren’t part of development.
