No you're doing it wrong, you're supposed to cherry pick your examples and ignore everything else

Yeah I have to imagine that most people who think working in VR is a no brainer have never actually tried it.

VR is awesome, and using a VR desktop is cool as a novelty, but even the best modern headsets get uncomfortable after more than an hour or two of use and vr pass through has its own problems in terms of accuracy and comfort

If for whatever reason your working situation was such that you physically couldn't have a traditional setup, then yeah it might be the next best alternative, but I'll take monitors and a standing desk any day of the week over a VR workspace.

Also, past a certain point, adding more screen real estate isn't actually helpful. You can only actually look at so much info at a time, and having too many monitors means you're going to be craning your neck to see the ones that aren't in front of you. At a point, you're much better off using workspaces with good keybindings to handle more windows

Nobody wants to end up in jail, but that’s not a reason to become reddit.

Says the guy who is at 0 risk of going to jail for it lol.

By all means create your own instance with a rules-free piracy community, then when you start getting into legal trouble, you can bit the bullet and go to jail lol

Nah, you've pretty much got it.

I also 100% use airpods with my Samsung phone - I tried a few other models, and they were all garbage for one reason or another while my wife never had any issues with her airpods.

With the andropod app, you basically get first class support with them, and my pair has now been chugging along for a few years with no sign of dying on me.

Couldn't agree more with your last sentence as well - the fact is that every single major tech brand has a myriad of issues. Apple is very far from perfect, but so is Google, and so is Samsung, and so is Microsoft. If buying from any of those companies makes you a sucker, then 99.99% of people are suckers - including most of the people standing on their soapboxes in this thread, as i highly doubt they're all using purely OSS solutions on pine phones and old Thinkpads lol

Support as in they enjoy the prospect of Russia winning? That they like Putin and want him to conquer Ukraine?

I mean, yes - as a matter of fact. Just look in this thread at the numerous comments from those two instances of users saying that Ukraine should have just surrendered, and that it's their fault for not agreeing to Putin's "peace" proposal.

You're definitely not going to hear me argue in favor of NATO's actions, but none of that (with the exception of Ukraine joining NATO) excuses an invasion of Ukraine - and regarding Ukraine joining NATO - they're a sovereign state, it's not Russias right to invade their neighbors because they don't like Ukraines international policy. If the US decided to invade Mexico because they were thinking about signing a mutual defense agreement with China, you can bet your ass I'd be out in the street protesting the war.

And if we're going to say that a country deserves to be ravaged because a small portion of their population espouses white supremacist policies, then I guess the U.S., Italy, Germany, Russia itself, and a whole shitload others should start getting shelled as well. Unfortunately, for very complex reasons, a huge chunk of the world has a neonazi problem right now, using it as an excuse for an invasion is absolute bull shit.

Simply not supporting the Ukrainian state nor NATO does not mean supporting Russia

Except that it does. Russia invaded Ukraine - and so far they haven't given a single signal that they'd be willing to any peace agreement that leaves Ukraine with it's original borders. Ultimately if Ukraine loses, it'll mean that it will be annexed. It would be a very different situation if Russia was offering a real peace (one that doesn't involve Ukraine giving up it's own territory) and Ukraine was being obstinate, but there is no realistic pacifist position to be taken here

All you have to do is read through this very thread to find numerous examples of hexbears acting like US liberals are primarily (or second only to Ukraine itself) for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

"Why could Ukraine have just bent over and let Russia take it over??? And why couldn't the rest of the world just pretend it never happened?? What about 'Murica in the middle east???"

Sounds pretty familiar to me.

There seems to be a startling overlap on lemmy between Communists and Russia supporters. Can't say I've ever seen a comment either from hexbear or lemmy grad in favor of Ukraine over Russia.

If it's not because they think Russia is on the side of communism, then what the hell is going on in their heads?

Seriously, to listen to hexbears talk about the Ukranian invasion, you'd think that the US talked Ukraine into invading Russia just for fun, and that Russia was simply left with no choice.

The killing can stop absolutely any day now - all Putin has to do is pull out and pay for his mess, easy peasy

Yeah I'm kind of baffled that I keep hearing about how polished it is - don't get me wrong, it's an amazing game and my wife and I have been playing practically every night - but I don't think a single night has passed yet where we haven't run into a fairly major bug, and usually a whole shit load of minor ones

Just last night I went to withers to change my class, when halfway through the dialogue, Li'zael popped up with some random, unprompted dialogue, canceling my class change without refunding my 100g

And that's before you even point out that they were also making bank from the last gold rush

Good time to be in the GPU business
