Quest 3 was stunning at release for the price. They just can't help but fuck about with things though. Barely use it now because of all the world's shit cluttering it up. So fine jack up the prices. I'm just waiting on the Frame.

I thought IUPAC exists precisely because of this problem, before it chemists named stuff any old random shit, many of which are still with us today, Formaldehyde, acetone, chloroform, aniline and many many more.
It's also very focused on the consumption of the code. What about the people pouring their lives into this code. Anything that helps people stay motivated or inspire people to contribute is a huge boon. It also ignores the fact that if everyone names a tool by it's function then Apache, Tomcat, Nginx and dozens of other project are now all called "http-server". Or Apache-www, Tomcat-www, Nginx-www.
I dunno. Know your environment I guess, is it that hard?
Anyway. If they are so confident in this approach fork a few projects rename them and get the community to jump ship shouldn't be hard if this is such an easy win.
Should be no problem getting an established community to switch from "aspirin" to "acetylsalicylic acid".
It's an interesting article, but I don't think I'm sold on it.
I preordered a Jolla. Chasing that "0.6 % Other" high.
Portugal runs a lot of technology/near-shore outsourcing for across Europe where English is still a common collaboration language, where Spain supports a lot of Tourists across the Eurozone, and generally supports those tourists in multiple languages.
I'd expect this contributes at least partially to the difference.
Maybe vasectomy clips count?
Steam Machines flopped because everyone with the badge thought it was a licence to print money and marked up mini PCs to the point where it made no sense to not buy a dedicatd gaming laptop instead.
We live in a very different world with 1080p capable mini-pcs abounds and SteamOS/Bazzite showing how a gaming OS should be.
I would love to see them sell the controller and mini PCs through hardware partners that get that this is an opportunity to shift units, not mark up, but I'm not optimistic, and if I save $200 by not having a little steam badge so be it.
No complaints about Yomu.
More profitable to sell the disease and the cure!
Ngl. Emulators now being on the app store is huge. Between that and easy SSH access to actually private boxes, I'm on the cusp of going back to iOS on my main phone.
They did this with "plays for sure" DRM protected music files too, way, way back. Never bought content of any kind from them after that and then killing Windows LIVE.
Just assume everything from them has a "destroy after" date set in the near future.
When the scores are settled sure, doesn't mean there's not mechanisms in any particular country that make this harder. Work two Jobs in the UK without carefully sorting PAYE and one of those will be collected at 40% emergency rates. You get it back eventually, but if you are paying transport, meals and other expenses to attend the second job I can see how it could get close to nothing. You get most of it back later, but that doesn't help marginalized people trying to earn extra right now.

Ha ha ha. By what mechanism? Turns out they don't have any authority on my Linux boxes, and (almost) no one is choosing to use this, save your Dev hours boys.
