VM are good but to get good performances, you need to do some setup so they directly use the hardware and don't use abstractions.

Have a dual boot: gaming and personal stuff on Linux (using Proton for games), and pro on Windows.
But if you really need Adobe at any moment, well you either need to stay on Windows or switch to another app suite. That's the unfortunate truth given Apple' unwillingness to support Linux.

Consumer VR as currently envisioned is not going going to ever get out of the niche it’s in.

You mean, with Oculus Quest 2 being a cheap headset offering great performances and satisfying many customers (10m units sold in nov. 2021), with many good and great games being ported, major video game editors publishing games with VR support, and headset appearing in museums and other cultural places?

Maybe Apple' and other « pro » headset sold at outrageous prices are not going out of the niche they are, but affordable VR is a thing many people use. Majors exhibitions now often have VR discoveries for everyone and games are of a great quality for anyone taking more than 2 minutes to find what they like (so beyond beat saber and demos). Meanwhile, AR is nowhere to be seen despite Microsoft, Google and Apple' big investments in APIs, OS support and hardware.

The move is a wise one from Meta: they focus on affordable yet great quality headset that anyone can buy instead of focusing « pro » market which, in reality, doesn't have a market. I haven't heard of any company or cultural places willing to buy any of these « pro » stuff given how expensive they are. They instead buy from the many affordable brands like HP or Samsung and, obviously, Meta.

It's like connected watch: nobody really needed them, they took time to kick off, but affordable ones are now everywhere, not only for tech-savvy people.

MacOS betas are a big no for me since they completely broke the network stake preventing VPNs and proxies from working during 13.4 beta 4. Beta used to be pretty stable (at least major things like these were not present) in my experience, but it's getting worse, so I'll skip them even tho I like to test new features (with the instabilities it may bring).

It's funny tho.

This has been the case for ages on old Reddit...

It's real, and it has always been the case (at least since 2016). You could pay premium to customise the whole website' CSS to your liking. You can either use a pre-made style (there was a sub to share themes) or make your own.

Reddit is bullshitting about subreddits not being deletable. Yet, GDPR helped me to force them to delete a sub named after my real name that I made long ago. So it seems GDPR works quite well.

Magazines are subreddits, What you mean is threads, ;)
Kbin is not bad, but with the dev team, we hope to make it great! Lot of contributions, lot of features requested and bugs reported, and I promise the community of contributors is working hard to fill them!

Reddit don't want fair pricing, they want to get all users on their app and third parties to be dead.

The guy literally built Reddit from scratch… He's more than aware why there is an API, and how it has been used for years. The guy is just a douchebag and a liar that want to kill third party apps and acts like he is right from the beginning, never said or did anything wrong, because the bad people are devs, mods, and users. Why? Because he created Reddit so he can't be wrong...

Un projet en rust c'est cool, mais Kbin a l'avantage d'être dans un langage facile à prendre en main (PHP), sur un framework bien structuré et bien construit (Symfony), et le code est généralement propre et facile à comprendre, même s'il manque de maturité.
Même si Rust c'est cool, je pense que kbin a un avantage ici puisque plus facile d'y contribuer. Mais il va avoir besoin d'un peu plus de maturité pour être vraiment solide.
