FFS, stop trying to make the Metaverse happen. Nobody wants it.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Those who want it have been using it for 20 years already with Second Life. Oddly enough, none of these new metaverse makers take any lessons learned from that but I guess then they would have to admit that VR is crap that nobody needs for immersion.

Lol I remember Napster for downloading music damn I'm old.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Holy hell, Napster is a (legal) subscription music streaming service! Crazy times we live in.

Napster... Sorry, who??

They're still around??

🤷‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

They aren’t really, some crypto bros just bought the name and stuck it to this pile of horseshit, presumably in the hopes of making some money off of idiots.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's impressive and somewhat concerning what people will pay for a name. Historic as it is Napster died long long ago

I’ll go fire up limewire now. Be right back.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mm. Nah. I'm just confused who this is supposed to be for: people who used Napster for free music or people who say "what's a Napster?"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

TIL Napster still exist. I thought it got shut down in the early 2000's?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

It did, but the branding got sold a few times and is now in the hands of some crypto company.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Only for the Metaverse? Ha! Guess I won't be using Napster.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah, next year they'll go after NFTs then a year after that they'll all in for AI.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

Obligatory, FUCK YOU Lars Ulrich!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

I doubt anyone will use this except for crypto bagholders who have no interest in music (or anything really) and are just looking to dumb their bags the next mark.
