Be nicer to people. Take better care of myself, particularly my teeth. Take the things I did (school, sport) more seriously. Keep enjoying being young, but make a little time to focus on goals. Read more. Invest all my allowance in an index fund (not at all realistic, I know).

Red Hat: why I'm going all in on community-driven Linux distros.

Really hoping that the enshitification of these various things, further enshitification in the case of Twitter, brings about a really fun “find out” period.

Sadly I think it will get worse in the case of RHEL. I can see IBM locking down access to many of their products to AIX, RHEL, and in many instances Windows. Currently, GPFS, something I work with a lot, supports Debian and Ubuntu (I think). It would not surprise me to see that go away.

Do People Actually Want to Wear a Headset All the Time?

I would say no… BUT this is a start. I’ve games more on a Quest 2 in the past year than I did on anything over the last 5 years. It’s just more fun to me. I’m not even talking about expensive games, though I’ve enjoyed some of this as well. I play rec room paintball most of the time. It’s just fun.

Down the road, I can see something more akin to Google Glass once the tech catches up. Eventually, though, there will have to be some kind of external camera to capture the user. The first question I had when I saw the FaceTime demo was, what are the other people seeing? My guess is you’re locked to showing either an aviator or an Animoji - neither of which are very good options, IMO.

Sure it has an Apple tax, and I have a ton of questions about use cases and support (360 photos/videos is an obvious one/), but it did look cool as hell! Not necessarily $3500 cool, though.
