Reply to Study of more than 2,400 Facebook users suggests that platforms — more than individual users — have a larger role to play in stopping the spread of misinformation online by giuliomagnifico
While I applaud the results and the study, the fact that some people try to argument otherwise is downright laughable.
Think about making the argument that instead of having a police force and laws that govern our behavior towards each other, we should simply leave it up to individual responsibility to reduce crime and harmful behavior.
(Note. I’m not saying our current system is perfect, but saying it’s not up to the platform but the user to reduce misinformation is akin to saying instead of rule of law, it should be up to individuals to behave how they choose.)

Reply to comment by darkpaladin in HoloLens AR actually makes soldiers less lethal, soldiers hate it | Report comes after Microsoft lays off various VR/AR employees by BlueLightStruct
I’ve been following this for a while - the complaints from field tests have persisted for a while now. While both MS and Army spokespeople have denied any considerable issues, the actual testers have absolutely loathed the product. The problems have also repeatedly gone unfixed.
Basically, I think they jumped on the tech too soon. It sounds good on paper but it cant perform in practice and the drawbacks are too big, both due to maneuvaribility, cumbersomness and just general useability and benefits from use.
The kind of things you see in a Marvel film are way way ahead in the future, even just technology-wise.
