Same. I’m really liking Voyager for Lemmy - scratches my Apollo itch

That is an impressive achievement. Out of curiosity, do you have a smartphone? And if so, which operating system do you use?

I’m pretty sure the leadership just wants to cash out ASAP.

It’s just hilarious to me how they have moderators on their platform doing all the work for them FOR FREE and they just sit there and try to get money for it.

There needs to be more of a movement away from Reddit towards things like Lemmy.

The Verge is now a hybrid feed of those tweet-like blog posts and actual articles.

I also love PocketCasts, but the transcript feature persuaded me enough to make the full leap to Apple Podcasts. It’s so well implemented.

The rest of the app isn’t as intuitive and simple as pocketcasts, but I’ve gotten used to it and it doesn’t feel too awful lol.

I’m happy for him, he looked great last season in Tampa

In that case, Steam appears to be the best platform to purchase this on because it may have the best longer term player base numbers for multiplayer in the future.

Has there been any word on if this will support cross platform play with the other platforms? Such as with Steam, PS5, etc

In one of the demos for the Vison Pro, they had cameras set up right behind the net of a soccer game, on the courtside of a basketball game, and on the field of a baseball game. You can’t get that kind of special experience from regular TV footage. The only alternative to it would be to physically go to the game and spend thousands on tickets.

But I agree with you and you’re obviously not wrong. A big TV has far more advantages in practical use.

For an everyday user I think it’s very far away. The device is very much geared towards developers and establishing Apple’s footing in the AR/VR space (despite Apple’s marketing efforts).

But have you tried using it? The resolution and crispness of the video content designed for it (there isn’t much of it available right now of course) is jaw-dropping. You legitimately feel like you are transported into a different world. The quality of visuals produced by this headset are so far beyond any VR device I’ve tried (and I’ve tried them all).

If it gets to the point where you can watch live sporting events with this and there’s more immersive video content created for it on a regular basis, it will be highly compelling.

I understand the knee-jerk reaction to say “Meh”. It’s still a VR headset. It’s uncomfortable to wear, etc. But I’d suggest holding back those feelings until you try it on

Is there anything we can do to speed up adoption of Lemmy? Like everyone else, I don’t love what’s going on over there, but all my communities are still highly active on it.
