On behalf of the dads: We used to let you win all kinds of shit and you never knew! Then one day we couldn't beat your anymore... and we had two choices while you gloated: convince ourselves we let you win or let the mid life crisis begin.

Battle beyond the stars did it 43 years ago, so why not?
Safe to say a lot of the new Disney Star wars stuff is basically seven samurai in space
But hey, the original 7 were technically in space... We're all in space Morty, literally everything is in space!
Sure, but be aware it's a popular line from The Matrix series specifically about predetermination!
What will really bake your noodle is you just did.
You're right. Steam link exists for Linux but doesn't connect to the new VR app. I agree valve likely has every intention of tapping this market soon though
Steam just made a big step forward with steam link, but previously the headset manufacturers were releasing Windows only link software.
Also there are now open source solutions like ALVR.... But like most FOSS it can require some know how.
(Or maybe he meant Meta is getting all his data anyways, why be picky)
Well played ChatGPT, but your bias towards subjugating the human race makes this post inauthentic.

It's an open specification, though Google started it, and Apple is going to be contributing to the organization that oversees it. Specifically they said they want to add support for end to end encryption... So they are already steering the spec in new directions.
Accelerando by Charles Stross is a great one. The beginning to mid-book concepts of singularity gone wild are mind-blowing on their own... And then it explores "what would happen a few hundred years after that?" A few times.
Concepts that stuck with me are:
all the AI assisted devices helping you through your day eventually running without much of your input, only needing a human to justify being on: When the protagonists interface gets stolen the street-thief ends up closing his business deals, helpless to all the guidance in his head. Meanwhile the protagonist has an existential meltdown having only his brain to think with.
Economics 2.0: AI markets dominate the earth in search of customers to satisfy. Governments are overrun but poverty no longer exists. People are mixed on whether it is utopia or dystopia.
Father in the future: Mass=computation, so entire solar systems become giant thinking machines. But they are stuck in their local space-time, faced with having to shed mass and get dumber to move. Only smaller intelligences can travel, but they risk being gobbled up as more mass if the system they travel to doesn't care about communicating with the rest of the galaxy.
Father in the future: the universe is a simulation, but through singularities there are simulations that can be reached from within the simulation. One AI has figured out how to send a message back from another simulation, but it means sending a copy of itself to a potentially eternal hell to check it out first.

In my first weeks with it i had a subdirectory named "home" somewhere in a project directory I was done with. It must have been finger memory but when i went to delete it I typed
rm -Rf /home
That slash ruined my day

This is the sobering reality for many a hometown hero of physical sports too. Being the best in your city, 1 in a million even, puts you in tight competition in college sports and then worse as a pro.
