No, it's like a nightclub, except full of anime characters and furries and other wacky avatars. Look it up on youtube.

Or minigolf, board games, etc with your friends across the world in about the closest approximation we have of physical in-same-room interaction over the internet.

People that make 3D models and sell them on Etsy style websites for ~$50 each. Others then gather and buy them. It require basic skills in Unity to use them.

tbhimo, this is beyond bad omen to VRC and VR at large from profitability angle. To me it looks the exact path that Twitter went down.

What is a bad omen and why? That most of the creators are Japanese? Why?

what the hell is a 'VRChat creator'? They make VR chats?

Custom avatars and worlds.

Avatar creation requires a strong understanding of 3d modeling tools and some level of shader coding in many cases.

World creation is also 3d modeling, plus scripting to generate games, doors, etc, if the world has interactivity.

It’s quite lucrative if you’re good at it.

No offense, but you really can't possibly understand how bad this place is if you have never been in VRChat.

Picture a 30 something guy in a hotdog avatar telling children how he can't help be a pervert.

Picture playing a game of chess in a chess room that should be really cool for all ages. Then a drunk woman is telling the room about the blowjobs she has given. Of course you can hear by the voices that some are little kids talking.

If you put on a headset and go in VRChat right now, you too can have the same experience. Anyone who says this is not true is completely full of shit because everyone inside VRchat knows this almost like it is an inside joke.

I would never bag on someone for being socially awkward. I was so awkward as a teenager. Social awkwardness is not the problem at all.

Oh yea how about kids running around yelling the n word for no reason other than they can? That is standard.

If you never used modern VR, the immersion is incredible. That is what makes the VRChat experience so disturbing.

Most people with any sense avoid public instances. Most of the healthy interactions in VRC are almost certainly in highly curated Friends instances at the broadest and Invite or Invite+.

...creating a huge amount of value for customers and shareholders, and now pays far more tax on far more profit.

The people that most need wealth redistribution aren't the shareholders of the company, they're the employees of the companies that Amazon displaced.

Wouldn't higher productivity also lead to higher profits? Which then should be taxed accordingly?
t-writescode · 6 days ago
Only if the increased earnings are treated as profits. Amazon famously had zero taxable profit for, what, decades?

Roads should be (and are in many places) paid for with fuel excise taxes only. The more you drive, the more you pay.

Only if it’s not an electric car. Electric cars need to start paying somehow, too. I’m open to many options, especially including weight * miles driven or similar.

I'm not sure what FEX could offer on macOS that Rosetta 2 doesn't already, with better performance thanks to Apple Silicon magic.

Running x86 code on ARM macOS is the most solved part of the stack, if anything needs work it's the API translation layers.

Must it?

Very few of these complaints existed when Apple had a more reasonable update schedule for the Mac releasing a new update every 2 years or so.

The Mac’s current update schedule isn’t being driven by the needs of the OS or its customers but by the need to align with iOS.

They might have been fewer, sure. I haven't followed Mac issues as, again, I haven't really seen them, outside of the huge ones that get fixed quickly and are whole events.

But, operating systems can be interacting with thousands of different types of components, monitors, external graphics cards, keyboards, mice, printers, etc, in a whole array of different configurations. Nothing like Windows or Linux experience, of course; but not a small number of different situations, each of which can impact the machines in strange ways. And I imagine that's quite hard to track down. You can minimize it, of course, but it's not nothing.

It must be exhausting and stressful being an OS dev or dev team. I haven't experienced any of the troubles that are referenced here; and, the one complaint I've had over the years was resolved, like, on the very next update.

I use my mac for IntelliJ and Firefox. I guess maybe my usage surface is just really, really small; but I basically never have any problems ... and then others come along and say they're having huge issues.

I see the various updates as they happen and like ... all of them are neutral or minor inconveniences that are resolved next patch, for me.
