The Quest 2 is great, but everything else about Meta screams cringe. It makes them extremely unlikable, seems like unless they figure out how to be a bit cooler it will ruin them.

Interestingly, I think Oculus/Meta is poised to be a major platform (the technology is good) so this reset could really help the likes of Apple and Microsoft who need more runway before they’re ready to pounce with their initiatives.

The virtue of the Quest 2 is that it is stand-alone. Personally, I find tethered gaming too cumbersome and frustrating. With the Quest you can just pop the headset on, launch Super Natural and you’re off to the races. It’s also dramatically better hardware than my mixed reality headset, so it’s a win all around.

What is your motivation for believing? Really seems to me that people don’t believe in anything by default, and then are indoctrinated in some religion in their youth. They failed to indoctrinate me, which I suppose technically makes me an atheist but it’s really just not selecting some silly religion in my youth.

I never knew how bad at video games I was until my SO started watching me. That and discovering the game mode on my TV helped me improve dramatically. But in those moments where he’s frustrated, a little truth and levity might help

The origins of GNOME3 were rooted in duplicating the common old Mac OS X setup with the dock hidden on the side, and a hot corner for expose. In this way, it’s a damn good take on the first truly good modern desktop. I’d go as far as to say that GNOME 41 is the best workstation desktop there is.

Hardware compatibility largely comes down to your kernel version. The other major consideration is firmware, which some distros like Fedora can manage and update for you through tools like fwupdmgr, what firmwares are available largely depend on the package repos you are using. There’s also the ability to run some Windows WIFI drivers on Linux using ndiswrapper which can be useful if your wifi card doesn’t have native kernel support. Either way, it’s usually a good idea to look up your system on something like the Arch Wiki and check out compatibility and see if there are any changes you should make to improve compatibility.

As is often brought up, The Dominion thinks in terms of decades and centuries. In all likelihood, forcing a conflict immediately after contact is what saved The Federation. Otherwise, The Dominion would have had ample opportunity to prepare for a first strike.

My guess is Fedora is using a newer kernel that supports your hardware better. Would probably see the same gains in the other distros if you aligned the configurations.

We do a lot of interviews, and a lot of times HR haphazardly throws them on a calender despitethe fact that we may be off that day, or with so little warning we don’t even realize it’s happening until after the fact.

While it’s still not a good movie, Evil Dead 2 feels like it shows significant growth over Evil Dead 1. It’s still a bad movie, but not as bad as the first, making the original a bit more entertaining so it doesn’t get a lot of credit.
