Let's not forget that Carmack was all-in on the metaverse concept until the business realities crushed his vision (not judging his vision one way or the other). He's kind of a futurist at heart, right? He likes the idea of doing something today that wasn't possible yesterday. That's where...

Is it really cognitive dissonance, though, if you know you're being hypocritical and inconsistent but you don't care so long as you win? Maybe an addition to Hanlon's razor, never attribute to malice or stupidity that which can be adequately explained by greed, at least for the Silicon Valley set.

I don't know what the report took account of, but I have read that the drugs don't "work" for everyone and that a lot of people end up gaining the weight back. Maybe that's part of it? Unsure.

He's also literally on record saying that free speech means whatever the government says it means, but of course when a leftist government says it means he has to suppress certain things he freaks out because, at the end of the day, buying Twitter was all about one person's speech (and power)...

Fantastic, though also horrifying, article, Nate. In many ways, this is Ars at its best, providing context, even when it's uncomfortable or outright disturbing, at the intersection of technology and society. Thank you!

Agreed! I've been keeping an eye out to see which VM vendor is first to have actual support. Parallels and VMWare both have super misleading blog posts that imply they already have support, but what they mean is that they have (preliminary) support in internal builds and they are working on it.

I didn't go the home server route, but I did switch to using my own domain. I didn't do it cold-turkey though. Instead, I forwarded GMail to the new address and then started using the new address for everything going forward. When I think of it, I update my address for the various accounts I log...

I tried SpiderOak awhile back. I paid for a year in advance based on a careful review of what they offered. This was, perhaps, foolish on my part, but I did it. Needless to say, the product didn't even come close to meeting my expectations. After about three days of fighting with it on and off...
