Getting their screen in front and collecting all the data they possibly can reach

I thought of getting a jailbroken Quest only to find that this is no longer possible to be done, so no Quest for me then

Michael Douse, Larian's publishing director, called Steam "a democratic platform."

"There's like two of those, I think," he said. "Steam, and the Switch, too, is quite a democratic platform. If your game is really, really good, you have a very good chance that people on Steam will see it. You have to make an effort, it has to be good, it's not that simple, but it's so much better than, for example, having to campaign for your game with somebody else for like 12 months to get their store team to care about it."

I wonder if GoG and itchio are not democratic, don't provide a good enough discoverability, not aligned enough with corporate values, or something else.

Both seem to be quite good and democratic for me as a client 🤔

Well, I heard that Austin is very good and progressive, especially compared to the rest of Texas, and feels free of weird shit. But that was quite some time ago, and now it seems not to outweigh being in Texas anymore

Actual eyeball destroyed should not allow to percept anything I think, but I don't know of course

Other than that, as a layman, I would expect there to be some automatic and autonomous stuff related to vision but not requiring conscious results. After I learned of some processing done right in the eye (can't find the link, it was some experiment on cat eyes) I'm more inclined to think that a lot of processing is done out of consciousness, or sometimes even brain

It barely makes sense even on the third attempt to read it 🤣

Thank you for providing insight.

What I mean is more that things related to consciousness, subjectivity, and qualia are rather loosely defined and aren't guaranteed to have any measurable and good definition

This would've made a nice chapter in books by Oliver Sacks

Also, there's the "Controversy" that states some scientists consider blindsighted people to not be blind. I'd say it is the same as with other cognitive issues, one may technically not be blind but how would you call that when one cannot use their sight if not blindness

Just like with stealing money: you steal a grand and it's jail time, you steal a million and you're a respected person

In the long run everything might be false, even your own memory changes over time and may be affected by external forces.

So, maybe there will be no way to tell the truth except when experiencing it firsthand, and we will once again live like ancient Greeks, pondering about things.

To be fair, I hope that science and critical thinking might help to distinguish what is true or not, but that would only apply to abstract things, as all the concrete things might be fabricated

The problem with those detectors is that they are barely better than guessing.

You're most likely capable of outperforming such a detector by spotting semantic issues. Like when I tried to find how to configure saddle stool and the article said that my outstretched legs should reach pedals.

That may also be due to poor and cheap manual writing but you'll not lose a lot by blocking those, I guess.

Ok, don't know about the rest, but with the electric public transport I totally agree
