If space efficiency is a priority, I would say just take a normal restroom, add better locks, stall walls that actually go the full height and all of the way to the ground, and have a urinal section around a corner so that it is fully out of view from the (security camera monitored) common area where the sinks are

I would never use MacOS myself but I get the 'it just works' aspect and the crazy energy efficiency of Apple's hardware, also some tech youtubers I respect like Jeff Geerling and JDH use it

Now, iOS on the other hand... (I was seeing if a family member's ipad would work as a drawing tablet for Blender recently using the Moonlight app (which actually supports pressure sensitivity btw), but USB streaming doesn't work because apple ties that to its hotspot and therefore having cellular, and the 3rd party apps are all removed from the app store, its just so stupid that I have the ipad and the cable and yet I can only transfer data over wifi)

honestly if I heard someone say "I technically have linux with me right now" I would expect them to pull out an Android phone and say that Android is based on the Linux kernel (it is, its just not what anyone means when they say 'linux', its a pretty good example of how 'linux' refers to the OS and not the kernel)

Did they make money? obviously not.

Will it help them make money in the future? nobody knows. Probably not as much as it could have, we'll have to wait and see.

I know a lot of people are fine with a paid plan, I've just seen what has happened to some projects like Fusion 360 where they slowly take away more and more features from the free version, slowly decrease support, and all new features go to the pro version. I would be surprised if this happens to ubuntu, but I don't want to take that chance.

You're acting like there isn't another option. I could just go use Arch with KDE Plasma or something instead, or maybe Fedora which is at least somewhat separated from the 'pro version' (red hat)

Out of all of the projects that I can think of in recent memory that started as big open source useful things, only VLC Media Player managed to avoid turning into garbage, and it’s because the lead developer is a saint.

the Linux Kernel, Blender, Godot, Lemmy are some examples that come to mind, or maybe I'm just not understanding what you're trying to say here

I'm never going to feel fully satisfied using an OS that has an official 'pro' version.

MacOS!

I feel like kinda the main reasons to pick up a latest gen gpu nowadays are energy efficiency and a warranty (although 5000 series doesn't look all that energy efficient, we'll see i guess)

otherwise you can definitely get something better on ebay for cheaper

but if you live somewhere where energy is expensive, the difference might be significant. 500w is kinda a lot lol, any difference in performance/watt will add up

prices are going to drop when the new gpus come out and people need to get rid of their old ones, but currently with a little bit of looking i could find a 'buy it now' 7900 xt for $640, a 3090 for $775, and a 3090 ti for $850

honestly these aren't great deals you could probably find better ones

I put out the first version of that post while I’m getting my data fully packed up. Not a single response. Not even a like.

I suspect many platforms detect and shadowban content like this, or at least demote it or restrict its visibility. It's what I would do if I ran an unethical social media platform trying to increase the number of active users.

for game development apparently godot has a standalone version for Meta headsets, but it doesn't really work on the Vision Pro other than some community version that only allows it to display 3d models in small bounds because of OS restrictions, theoretically it should work immersively with WebXR but I don't really know (and then you have to limit your game to what can feasibly be downloaded in a few seconds)

Youtube discontinued their thing for SteamVR, and yet people still use SteamVR.
