  • That’s the important bit that everybody is missing:

    Apple has suspended work on the second-generation Vision Pro headset to singularly focus on a cheaper model

    Clicking through to the paywalled article, the headlines reads as follows:

    Apple Suspends Work on Next Vision Pro, Focused on Releasing Cheaper Model in Late 2025.

    I am as unoptimistic on the future of VR as everybody else here, but can we please leave the nuance in? Apple are not turning the key on VR, at least not yet, they are simply doing the predicable thing that everybody said their would: Release a VR headset that isn’t targeted at developers only.












  • That’s not what this post is about.

    I understand, and agree, with the sentiment that more people should switch to Linux, but please don’t pretend the answer to every topic regarding Microsoft or Windows is “just switch to Linux”. It is for some, but it derails and invalidates a necessary conversation about shitty behaviour by Microsoft.

    I have a machine running linux at home, I’m not afraid of a package manager, but Linux is not the answer to everything. Not yet at lesst.

    I can’t refuse to use windows at work, and much as i would sometimes like to, I can’t just go and quit over what OS our computers run. That would end poorly for my livelihood and family.

    The purpose of this article is to highlight unfair behaviour by Microsoft, especially towards businesses, which is a topic that needs more attention. Microsoft is in every level of infrastructure in almost every big corporation, and no matter how attractive linux is, that doesn’t make the dangers of centralised IT belonging to one company any less relevant.

    We should all do more to lobby for more companies and corporations switching to Linux, but replying with “just switch to Linux smh” is not pushing that agenda.

    Analysis complete.

    There is partial corruption in the platforms meme-templates as well as complete corruption in most of the platforms moderation mechanisms.

    Farewell, Lemmys. Your bravery is admirable, for such flawed creatures.



  • Wow, thanks for the reply!

    That makes a lot of sense. I was trying to work out why a sink immediately next to a corner was bad, but now I know what you mean.

    I guess it’s a bad solution to trying to work around the problem of kitchen real estate, the same way trying to use for cabinet in the corner unit for anything is almost always a bad time.


  • Ok, I’m super curious. By “In the corner” do you mean putting a sink on the actual corner unit? Or by the tablespace immediately next to it?

    In the case of the first one I totally get it. The corner unit is a cursed part of the kitchen anyway. If you mean immediately next to it, why not? Not disagreeing, just curious what a professional says.
