“Dogfooding dashboard”? WTF is even that? VR headsets are great for flight simulators. They really are. But the whole metaverse was retarded. WII quality torsos and heads supposed to be your avatars holding meeings in virtual space? This guy probably thought COVID was going to last forever. The software and support also sucked. Updates that broke update that needed patches. It’s still kind of a mess.
I am a simple, analog man, and I can’t rightly even parse what you just wrote, there, Mr. Pappy Gunn.
I kind of intuit, though, that it might be sayin’ more about the whole dang world havin’ jumped that proverbial shark and whatnot.
As for me, I watch birds showing up at my birdbath. A fine rosy and a chipping sparrow at last view.
Good for you; in my neck of the woods the g**ddammed geese are about to move in. There is a pond across the way with a park; you know what that means. Hordes of the buggers are going to chase away the pelicans and ducks.
Yeah, I also know about the dang geese, living in view of duck lake here in the Okanagan, and also having lived in Alberta and other geese infested realms.
Geese (Canada kind) are like the wogs of the bird world.
Maybe snow geese get a pass.
OMG … the schoolyard I used for soccer practice got closed for renovation, so I moved our team to a field near Heather Farms Park … OMG … the grass field was just covered … every square inch … in Canada Goose shit. “Look at the cute geese mommy” … Don’t look too close Jenny … or get too close. Those filthy geese are toxic.
I thought global warming was destroying all the migratory flyways? Isn’t it too damn HOT … and too droughty down here in CA? Don’t those Canada geese want to STAY in Ottawa?
Oh … I’m obviously analog. 0.4mV MC with Boron cantilever and line contact Diamond needle shape. Coil wire: 6N high-purity copper … Samarium cobalt magnet … rosewood body

But I AM trying to live long enough for the lifelike sex robots … but only when the VR headset is not required. But it would be creepy if I asked Elon to make her look like my sophomore HS girlfriend … so I’ll probably just go with my roommate when I worked at Tahoe City and lived at Squaw Valley. Yeah, she was quite a squaw … all legal age and whatnot.
