MEATPANTS,

In English we have a word too. It’s called sadism.

MEATPANTS,

To drop a feature means to get rid of it. Words have meaning, guys

MEATPANTS,

Hey I know it’s a week later, but I rarely log in to Lemmy.

If you read the headline, it could be interpreted either way. The only way to know the actual meaning is if you already knew what the article was about, but if I knew nothing about windows, I could easily assume that it had a feature called ‘sudo’ which is now being dropped.

Supporting this kind of behavior is how we ended up with the word ‘literally’ meaning both literally and figuratively. Source: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally

Words can have multiple meanings, but If a word means one thing, but also the opposite of that thing, it adds unnecessary confusion. Not saying there aren’t many other examples, but I think it’s something we should try to avoid.

A ‘$3,500 Chastity Belt’: Early Apple Vision Pro Adopters Alarmed to Learn VR Porn Doesn't Work (www.404media.co)

The general consensus in that thread is that, while the Vision Pro can play “flat” porn videos on sites like PornHub, there is currently not an easy way to play 180 degree side-by-side videos on the Vision Pro, which is how most commercial VR porn is filmed.

MEATPANTS,

If everyone abandons the platform because of lack of features, why would any 3rd parties bother making apps for it? So they can help out a trillion dollar company to sell their $3400 paperweight?

MEATPANTS,

Angry about spending $3500 on a headset that doesn’t do half the things a $500 one does?

Don’t see why else you would defend a trillion dollar company.

MEATPANTS,

Right, but what can you actually do with it right now? Rearrange some windows and surf the web?

It is incredibly impressive hardware, but without a way to make use of that hardware, it’s mostly useless.

It’s stupid to pay that price for a device in the hopes that maybe someone will add actual features to the device.

Meta launched their device at a loss and had a ton of software available at launch (at least compared to the AVP), a strategy that has propelled them to being arguably the most profitable player in the VR space. Why wouldn’t apple do that as well?

MEATPANTS,

Text is illegible on other headsets? Apple democratizing app development? What planet are you on??

Oh I get it now. You’re either trolling, or are some kind of apple shill.

But even if everything you said was true, it still doesn’t mean it makes sense for anyone to buy apple’s VR headset right now. Except for maybe the developers you were talking about, but if Devs are the only ones buying it, who are they developing apps for?

Also if you still think the iOS market “blows Android out of the Water” then you’re still living in 2007, bud

MEATPANTS,

Connected? We’ve never been more divided

MEATPANTS,

So you’re saying they have to be white to be treated with respect?

I don’t get why you care if she’s white or not

MEATPANTS,

Because this is an idiot you don’t have to pay to do his job

MEATPANTS,

I think they’re called temporary because they have no foundation; if you wanted to, you could easily remove the building.

It's disturbing how we as a society are okay with ad companies weaponsing psychology

So many people that take psychology courses end up working in the advertisement industry because that’s where the jobs are if you have a psychology degree. Very few people sit back and think about the implications of the scientific study of the mind being used by companies to distort peoples perceptions and make them buy...

MEATPANTS,

That’s the beautiful thing about weaponizing psychology; if you’ve done it well enough, people won’t even realize that you’ve done it

MEATPANTS,

The problem, at least where I live (Montreal), is that for anyone in the service industry, your taxes assume you got at least 15% tip (or at least for waiters)

MEATPANTS,

If you don’t like the way the service works, stop using it
