Most established hosters would be fearful to run an instance of peertube. Costs could balloon out of nowhere and would only increase with time. There is no way donations would keep up with costs, and charging to watch or a subscription would never take off.

Reddit is entirely a "normie" platform now. 6 years ago I was actually made fun of for using it, but now even my grandparents talk about it.
Because criminalizing having a different political view definitely sustains democracy.
If it were that simple, and they were comparable/better than starlink, they'd be a lot more prominent than they are, no? You're leaving out information.
Yeah, there'll never be a situation where all of Lemmy down. I (lemmyusa.com) and other admins likely won't update to a version that'll break the site.
Yes, Reddit is way more mainstream now than ever. My grandparents talk about it.
I don't see the need for insults.
These "human rights" were given to you by the current established powers. When those powers change the definition of good and bad do so as well. That was the intended message of my original comment.
It is naive to say "we don't need to understand why they did it" when, taking your stance here, it's imperative in preventing the "enemy" from taking away your "freedoms". But I see it differently, take one of my favorite quotes: "You judge yourself based on your own intentions, and judge everyone else on their actions". Call it optimistic, but I don't believe most people intend to cause harm, but make their choices based on their experiences and understanding of the matter.
So, I feel it's ridiculous to proclaim anyone as enemy, especially withstanding their reasoning. But you do not have to agree with this.
To give you a real unbiased answer as someone who's actually used the headset, the Quest 3 is the best VR headset you'll get for the money. Pancake lenses are amazing, performance is really good, software has gotten ages better since launch. Meta throttles the chipset a lot, with QGO (an app) you can meet or be just under PC quality on most games, but the base headset is fine by itself.
As for games, there's never been a better time to hope in. But I'll be honest my Q3 is practically a beat saber machine at this point. I haven't found another game to be as enticing. Pistol whip was meh, I couldn't get into B&S or Asgards wrath, Metro Awaking isn't my type of game. It's really up to you to decide how valuable VR is.
All it takes is a couple investors and that all goes bye-bye.
Very few people have had their car purchasing decisions influenced by Musk, that's evidenced by Tesla being the top 3 best selling EVs in the U.S. in Q2. Their sales will decrease as competition increases. You could make the argument the lack of competition is what maintains their sales.
This is why they're leaning hard on FSD, it's the only thing that could realistically make them stand out once the EV market matures. We'll have to wait to see if V13 delivers (was supposed to release in October...) in order to gauge their future as a company.
Create a frontend that has a proprietary algorithm and ads. Completely shut down .world from the rest of the fediverse and then do whatever they want.
