This is my bet as well. I think at some point, foldable screens will get good enough to get mass market, and then it will be about how thin/light they can make those so they get bigger screens but the device remains pocketable. Not to mention, screen tech matches/exceeds today. That's the practical appeal of things like holos outside of just being aesthetically "future looking."

I'm also very interested in the idea of AR glasses that can be worn normally, but that's pretty limited by physics right now (battery and camera tech especially.)

Most (if not all?) of the *arrs can use torrents. edit: as for guides, i would just check out yams.media.

You know, I didn't even think of this. I initially just thought "good, they might get a queer kid they'll abuse/neglect and thus shouldn't have them" but the whole limiting of the expansion of more shitbirds sure is a nice bonus.

Topics on the side. "Gaming, Sports, Business, Crypto..." Reddit trying really hard to pretend it's not just around for porn and memes. Also, crypto lol. Tech bro a little harder, spez.

I mean, it's just capitalism. Beginning of the pandemic: thank god for remote work, don't worry investors we're not going out of business. End of pandemic: welp, I have to justify my position and why we're paying all this real estate get back in the office so I can micro-manage you and create useless meetings no one needs so no one realizes that I don't really do anything around here.

that may have been a lie the whole time.

Musk's taint on the brand is I think majorly based on this type of thing. His twitter purchase has revealed that he's a serial liar, and now people are seeing all of the ways that it is happening with Tesla. People tolerate assholes all of the time. What they don't want to tolerate is snake oil salesmen, and I'm not sure there has ever been a bigger one than Musk.

Remember that time he offered to solve world hunger but then didn't because "nah" basically?

Dude no. I'm a wrestling fan, I have friends who are wrestling fans, and trust me, absolutely none of us are buying this shit. Even as a wrestling storyline, this does not make sense.

No, you haven't. It started out this way, but now basically it's the "tell the poster you acknowledge/like the post" but also there when you don't want to boost the post to your timeline. You can still use it this way, but because the community (probably with one of the first twitter exoduses) started using it more like a like on twitter, they gave up and implemented bookmarks (I think might be private and not notify the poster you've bookmarked?)

Ofc, there are also some of the mastodon HOA that will still insist this, but then why do bookmarks exist...?

Anyway, just in general, you can tell by the up/down ratio and a lot of the comments that are getting upvoted in this thread that are posting things that are either just incorrect or at least misunderstand things how many people in this thread actually use mastodon, so I would take criticism with a grain of salt.
