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?

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

The path to a viable third party presidential candidate has to pass through the down ballot races. If you want (for example) a future green party or libertarian president, you need a bunch of governors, senators, and representatives first.

Third parties struggle to get on presidential ballots because they are ineffectual on a national scale. They’re ineffective on a national scale because they barely exist in between presidential elections.

Expecting to change the political landscape from the top down is misguided and unrealistic.

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.

Citing a reference is a nice palate cleanser.

YouTube is a great experience with a paid subscription. It’s the streaming service I use the most and I find the monthly cost to be worth the content I watch there. It’s also an even more effective way to fight the disruptive influence advertising has on our online communities and helps fund the creators on the platform that I enjoy.

Everyone should make their own choices, I’m just highlighting one of those choices that works well for me.

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