I just finished this, yes it took me a month.
I found his literary style, very compelling, it was a fun read.
I found his predictions while interesting, not very clairvoyant. BeOS is sadly no longer with us.
I did like his tie-in to the Church of the simulation at the end, though this predates the official organization of such an church.
I think it was a thought-provoking essay, I disagreed with some aspects of this predictions, especially around what a monopoly is. It’s thought-provoking. It’s a good read. It is not gospel
He did talk about hacker culture, and anybody being able to fix anything, but was not able to make the connection between BeOS and proprietary license and Linux with an open license. The death of BOS followed one year from the creation of this essay

Really you need to first define your threat model, the EFF has a good guide on that.
Maximum paranoia would be Wi-Fi only connects to a restricted VLAN that can only talk to a VPN server. You must use a VPN to access your network over wireless. That’s probably too much work for most people. But it would be the most compartmentalized, not trusting Wi-Fi encryption, which really isn’t that strong
Super basic data hygiene means you only use WPA2 and above security for your Wi-Fi network.
Depending on your actual threat model, what you choose to do will probably be between those two points.
I don’t think anybody actually hated the game, it just was very mid, and for the space it was competing in it wasn’t compelling. But it wasn’t obviously bad
So if you’re a consultant looking at one aspect of the game, it’s hard to make the prediction the entire market would reject it.
It’s really down to the game directors, and the leadership, and the executives. They didn’t have a product that was sufficiently unique to make a name for itself, and they should have known that
If you want a hands off linux experience
having a stalker, makes privacy very important
Having identity theft, makes privacy even more important
Being pigeonholed, makes privacy important
True, it was a really well done clone, but it was well done. The game worked. It wasn’t terribly buggy.
My favorite theory is internal politics meant that the people who knew it was going to fail couldn’t prevent the game from going live without extreme cost to themselves. And they would be blamed for it.
Letting the game go live, was probably the least politically expensive thing for them to do. Even though everybody knew the outcome
Sounds like want a pbc with extensions, like astrix. You could program it twilio too
But… sms verification systems won’t honor extensions
Not releasing your new game on the largest game market in the world is a bold choice as well.
you lost me, building game engines is the major competitive shift.
Linux with packages, specifically debian with packages. It’s fine and I’m happy it exists,
but… if your a security researcher, political dissident, hacker, etc you should be using Qubes inside of which you can run this debian distro if you want. you could even run Kali, and parrot at the same time!

Black myth wukong uses unreal engine 5. There is no tech war here.
That’s like watching a military day parade where china shows us tanks but with a new paint job.
Just make games and people will buy games.
More rarely: some poorly configured USB controllers can actually provide enough backwash power to the motherboard that some LEDs still blink, like the Ethernet indicators.
I ran into this myself, I notice the lights being on, and they stayed on when I unplugged the computer. Took me a good 5m of debugging to figure it out.
