Well, you do you, but if I were using a headset like this as a laptop replacement I would put it and the keyboard in a backpack. You know, just like how I carry my laptop around today.

People say this about smartphones, too, and yet adoption is practically universal. If the product is worth using, people will use it, and the social friction will fade. The reason products like Google Glass never moved beyond pariah status

You can use a Bluetooth keyboard pretty much anywhere you can sit with it on your lap or a table in front of you. One might legitimately worry about looking like a huge dork in public, but for a lot of people I imagine there is a lot of app

Not really. At the scale of Rust and Firefox, some level of disagreement within and without the relevant political structure(s) is unavoidable.
