Hey I know it’s a week later, but I rarely log in to Lemmy.

If you read the headline, it could be interpreted either way. The only way to know the actual meaning is if you already knew what the article was about, but if I knew nothing about windows, I could easily assume that it had a feature called ‘sudo’ which is now being dropped.

Supporting this kind of behavior is how we ended up with the word ‘literally’ meaning both literally and figuratively. Source: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally

Words can have multiple meanings, but If a word means one thing, but also the opposite of that thing, it adds unnecessary confusion. Not saying there aren’t many other examples, but I think it’s something we should try to avoid.

In English we have a word too. It’s called sadism.

To drop a feature means to get rid of it. Words have meaning, guys

Martyrdom

Text is illegible on other headsets? Apple democratizing app development? What planet are you on??

Oh I get it now. You’re either trolling, or are some kind of apple shill.

But even if everything you said was true, it still doesn’t mean it makes sense for anyone to buy apple’s VR headset right now. Except for maybe the developers you were talking about, but if Devs are the only ones buying it, who are they developing apps for?

Also if you still think the iOS market “blows Android out of the Water” then you’re still living in 2007, bud

Right, but what can you actually do with it right now? Rearrange some windows and surf the web?

It is incredibly impressive hardware, but without a way to make use of that hardware, it’s mostly useless.

It’s stupid to pay that price for a device in the hopes that maybe someone will add actual features to the device.

Meta launched their device at a loss and had a ton of software available at launch (at least compared to the AVP), a strategy that has propelled them to being arguably the most profitable player in the VR space. Why wouldn’t apple do that as well?

Angry about spending $3500 on a headset that doesn’t do half the things a $500 one does?

Don’t see why else you would defend a trillion dollar company.

If everyone abandons the platform because of lack of features, why would any 3rd parties bother making apps for it? So they can help out a trillion dollar company to sell their $3400 paperweight?

Connected? We’ve never been more divided

So you’re saying they have to be white to be treated with respect?

I don’t get why you care if she’s white or not

Because this is an idiot you don’t have to pay to do his job

I think they’re called temporary because they have no foundation; if you wanted to, you could easily remove the building.

Removed by mod

No, but they could ban you I guess

That’s the beautiful thing about weaponizing psychology; if you’ve done it well enough, people won’t even realize that you’ve done it

If you don’t like the way the service works, stop using it

The problem, at least where I live (Montreal), is that for anyone in the service industry, your taxes assume you got at least 15% tip (or at least for waiters)
