Question Apple Vision Pro announced - $3499!

Really, 6 months? If I were pessimistic about it, I would say 2-4 years at least. But I think the Vision Pro is the initial look at the future of personal computing. People heavily doubted the iPad, for some reason not understanding that a larger display meant using it for things such as media...

Once Apollo went offline I just stopped using Reddit on my phone. I still use it on my desktop but my usage has gone way down. Been using Tildes for now on mobile.

Once 3rd party apps are gone I imagine old.reddit is next on the chopping block.

3rd party apps use Reddit's API to work. Reddit is looking to go public and wants to make as much short term money as possible, so they want to charge 3rd party apps for using the API. That by itself is not a problem, but they've made the price so ridiculously high that it's obvious they don't...

This was never going to change reddit in a matter of days. It has definitely accelerated its demise in my view. I've already setup accounts on the alternatives I've identified (Lemmy, kbin, and Tildes) - Something I never even considered or thought about in my previous 10+ years of using...

For me the main features are easier/quicker access to things you favorite, and much easier to sort/read comment threads with multicolor and highlights and whatnot. Being able to quickly and efficiently hop from subreddit to subreddit and read what I need and be done with Reddit is a great time...

General VR discussion thread

Regarding Windows integration, we already have remote desktop apps for iOS, so I would imagine that you have to be able to control them with the Vision Pro's input method (eye tracking and hand gestures). If we can interact with Windows PCs in this way I would be stoked, but I'm no dev so maybe...

If you get by fine with the website itself then more power to you. Personally I can't use the site on mobile, it just sucks. It's like digging holes with a stick (Reddit website) all your life not knowing that shovels (good 3rd party apps) exist. Sadly they're going away.

If there's some breaking news I almost always hear about it via Reddit first. It is a great way to keep aware of the "pulse" on various topics as you said.

General VR discussion thread

I haven't had to point out something on my monitor in person to someone else in maybe 10 years now. But that's mainly because I work remote, thankfully. Why is it weird that it's designed to be a general computer that runs in AR? You're no longer confined to the number of displays you have...

Looking for ideas to upgrade my in the process of being jerry-rigged pizza delivery bag

How are people ordering your pizza? Are you running a ghost kitchen? Is the $/hour worth it you find? Feels like it takes a lot of time investment.

The key is to avoid Popular or New, and instead go to specific subreddits only. I found my real time wasting was always when I was endlessly scrolling on the main page. I switched to visiting specific subreddits (mainly to catch up on news related to that sub) and my time spent on Reddit went...

But that's my point, it's only a small subset of actual users who post those gifs/pics/videos. Piss off that minority and they leave, and the rest will quickly follow and then Reddit dies. Get rid of mods and the ensuing flood of spam will make everyone leave in a hurry. Personally Reddit is...

I disagree. Websites need content to attract and keep users coming back. What is Reddit's content? Posts and discussions in a moderated setting covering nearly every topic imagineable. The overwhelming majority of Reddit users are just lurkers, they consume the content but don't contribute...

I can agree with that, but I do worry about losing Reddit as a whole. I've found that like 95% of my web searches involve adding reddit on to the end of it because I want to find actual discussion about the things I'm searching for, especially for products and services.
