It depends on whether the "reality" you see is via video a la Quest - and if so, at what responsiveness - or actual reality like with the Hololens.

Sure, but if any one of those corporate contributors could merge any change they wanted into the kernel they could likely get way more "metrics" gain, but they can't, because that's not the goal of the kernel team. The g

But if you can't enact change (on a macro scale) your choice (or lack of choice) drives you either back to explicit escapism, or into escapism masquerading as action (eg Qanon fiction). The former is less destructive.

Glad to hear it! Both valiant efforts, and good naming here too. For non-speakers; "Glasklar" means literally "glass clear", but makes more sense to explain as the phrase in Swedish equivalent to "clear as day"

Unimportant trivia from a Swedish speaker: Mullvad means mole (for the tunnelling more than planted spy connotations, hopefully), and the "Tillit" part of the name means trust. They're working on some IKEA style naming, which
