Gonna need stronger reasoning than "the device can't do much because I haven't done much".

I am so disappointed. What a harmful project. I apologize for the somewhat blunt language, but no matter how worthy, all software licensed under CC-NC is worthless. It's for fun side projects that you want to die, not for anything of s

My money is on this comment aging poorly. Not because there shouldn't be legitimate concerns about VR, but because it's pointing to Facebook execution fail as the only thing that matters to the success of the metaverse, and it&#x2

IIRC I remember meeting an Adium dev at a WWDC. A condition of joining Apple was that he could no longer work on or contribute to Adium in any way. Typical Apple stuff.

To be fair, it's not just HTML, "Touch Up Inside" is the usual button press event to subscribe to on iOS/macOS, and to my personal knowledge this has been true on iOS from day 1 (unsure about macOS or at least NeXTSTeP),

There's plenty of people who, having not tried anything resembling modern VR, completely discount it as a medium. So while you're not alone in your belief, your criticism also has red flags that will cause most people with experie

I suppose I'm struggling to see the dystopian nightmare in that? Is Discord dystopian because people alone in their rooms have a headphone fitted to their head "just to be 'together with other people'"? Is it that i

If there is a native Vulkan backend there is little reason for an API emulation layer with an identical before-and-after to not just forward the calls on as much as possible - especially with an API which makes its state a lot more explicit

Stuff like this does happen at the big companies, but it's also rooted out (when you're that big, you can afford to have internal security teams that investigate this stuff) and the offenders get fucked by legal (and fired, obviou

I don't think anyone would use a tool if it were 180x slower than the alternative. I strongly doubt that's the case here. (to clarify the "180x" math: (10s - 1s) / (250ms - 200ms) = 9s / 50ms = 180)

Not the last thing, or at least not the worst company to choose if that's important - Oculus research has a better track record of publishing AR/VR research and opening up old hardware (unlocked Oculus Go) than anyone else doing s

Well...if I'm only tending to, say, three or four cows, then they may as well be pets for my purposes, even if most of my management is systematic. You can do a lot with four servers.

You're referring to Chevron deference and/or Auer deference, and it is worth noting that those are in the long process of being curtailed/attacked heavily. :(

This take sounds like it's just opportunistically trying to find the negative in a positive, because it's Facebook. In some countries, masking recording/photo-taking indicators is a bona-fide crime . The TOS normalizing this

My community actively bans and blocks all kids and child avatars, is quest-incompatible, and boots creepy people aggressively. It's definitely a very enjoyable experience that's kept me sane throughout COVID.

Agreed 100%. I draw the line at "wishing ill upon its developers". Yeah, we were a part of the beast and responsible for its output. And I did quit, as the sibling comment failed to notice in its blunt anger. Login was beyond cont

This is a horrible, rude, and insanely demeaning take. Formerly one of those developers, finally got fed up with the beast and left. I continue to do VR dev. 1. The internals were actually some of the most robust software I've ever see
