This isn’t advertising, it’s tribute.

I’ve owned a half dozen VR headsets, starting with Oculus DK2 up to the Vision Pro. I currently use both the Vision Pro and a Meta Quest 3.

The software in the apple product is like nothing else on the market I’ve used. It’s not a perfect product, not even a great one really, but Apple have done a great job making VR/AR in their own style and I have a lot of optimism for this product line in their hands going forward. There’s a fair bit of new in visionOS that nobody else has done yet.

I don’t know what the BoM cost is for AVP1, but it’s almost certainly a lot higher than other flagship headsets on the market.

In what way do you feel like apple laptops are just fancy tablets?

No, What’s on second

One of those exceptions is to be 65 years or older. Guess who that disproportionately benefits?

There are better editors to learn if your goal is to not learn vi.

In vi, search is not only used for searching, but also for navigation. Demoting search from an easy-to-reach single key to a difficult-to-press chorded key combination breaks one of vi’s core philosophies, natural editing flow, and will significantly reduce your enjoyment and efficiency using the editor.

You might not see it as clearly, but that’s our role in society as well

I spent a decade as a full time Tcl developer and even I don’t use fossil.

Puns are their own rewords!

Profit is created from the output of productive labor. The amount of profit varies depending on the efficiency of the market and the company.

Companies are force multipliers for labor. The company’s profit comes from that force mulitplication, not by withholding profit from the worker who generated it.

Profit can only be made by exploiting labour. There can’t be any other way

This is a bad take and suffers from overly-simplistic thinking. Corporations are force multipliers for labor and the economic value of your labor is increased by joining forces with others.

Usenet was the golden age of Reddit for its time. Before the binary newsgroups drowned everything out and web 1.0 captured everyone’s attention.

In a way, it was a lot like Lemmy. Federated servers all inter-exchanged posts to a giant, global message board of newsgroups (roughly analogous to a subreddit or Lemmy community). Anyone could create a newsgroup and there were a lot of them.

When it was good, it fostered the same kind of genuine conversation that Reddit and Lemmy do when they’re at their best. It was full of memes, too, although that word didn’t exist then.

X-No-Archive: yes

This is such an astute and accurate description of crypto and mining. You are a textbook example of projection.

my omnikey ultra is certainly wacky

You mis-spelled “clacky”

DMCA was designed to prevent intellectual property infringement, not as a censorship tool.

Concorde wasn’t far off that sort of speed. . .

The concorde took 180 minutes (3 hours) to travel from New York to London (3,000 nautical miles).

Ignoring range limits, a trip from New York to Tokyo (5,861 nautical miles) at that speed would take 351 minutes (5.8 hours).
