   I wouldn't say delusional . At the top of the decade it did seem like it was a plausible evolution as remote work became more popular, what with the pandemic and everything. In Ready Player One, what made VR so ubiquitous was that the

    I understand what sideloading means, as I'm sure the rest of HN knows. But to the layman non-techie, it has indeed been marketed as a boogeyman. Even in the Android developers blog post: > We’ve seen how malicious actors hide beh
