Big part of it is entirely automated - setting your username to instead of the generic “@bsky.social” to use your own domain registrar will get you a check, as that proves that e.g. the Wendys account would actually be run by Wendys.com.
The other is bluesky manually giving certain (auto-verified?) accounts the ability to verify others. The example given is New York Times being able to verify all their own journalists.
But in both cases it’s different from the way Twitter used to do it (managing a manual database of all verified accounts) or does it now (lol pay $8 for a useless checkmark)
It’s getting a remaster, but also maybe a remake at some point.
Though it doesn’t need a remake nearly as badly as SS did, the remaster could get it pretty close already.
Better will happen. Cheaper than Meta selling the Quest 2/3s at a loss for $300 because they bank on the walled garden of the Oculus app store for profit? Rather unlikely.
Especially now that every VR headset seems to be a standalone and the simple “HDMI cable to a PC” doesn’t really seem to exist any more, so you have to pay for the mandatory integrated gaming tablet as well.
