Really interesting concept. I enjoyed what I played out of the demo, though hopefully in the full game they explain the usage of the camera a little more (most likely in the skipped levels/puzzles)

People don’t “get” mastodon because they see they have to sign up for another website and their account is tied to there over a centralized “Mastodon.com” (even though mastodon.social is a instance they can use) without realizing all of the separate instances can communicate with each other over activitypub.

They don’t want complicated. They want “hey, this is the thing I liked before everything changed, and it’s attached to my Instagram. Sounds good!”

The idea behind the tech can be useful in niche situations, but for the general user - until it is nearly indestructible - it’s something most people are looking to avoid. After all, you drop an exorbitant price on something with a specific stress area that can cause damage which you can either repair for another exorbitant fee or just be forced to outright replace the device entirely.

Most people are fine with just a glass rectangle in their pocket.

Never forget Snapchat would previously send snaps from android phones by accessing the view finder and take a screenshot of the screen before sending (ie not using the actual camera).

This news does not surprise me in the slightest.
