The objection was to you telling Apple employees to shut up and never question Apple authority. And then pulling some mental gymnastics that Apple is 'special' with not being remote friendly

Great feature, shame it's tied to apple hardware - making it inaccessible to those who cannot afford it.

When you're trying to read the site for yourself, it can be distracting and a bit obnoxious.

Judging from the repo, there is no broadcast of content. Please take the time to read and think critically before you react with misinformation

USA still hasn't adopted the faster payment model of same-day payments between the banks (without charge). Compare that to the UK which most payment transactions are completed within 4 hours

If the cost and cumbersome nature of VR can be reduced to bring it in line with just putting on a set of headphones and still be aware of the outside environment, sure.

>"From what I've seen, users are more than happy to have an application that solves their need no matter what it's created in. Most people don't really think about file sizes, or the fact that Chromium is packaged with Node, they just want their problem solved without visual or performance hiccups."

To be frank, most users often don't have a better performant alternative (outside of maybe a browser tab) so it seems like a redundant point.

People use spotify for their library/features - they'll put up with the client because there's no alternative clients to stream their spotify.

>I read people saying things like Spotify and Atom are "unusable" and slow because they're written in JavaScript when they have plenty of happy users.

Well there isn't exactly a choice of what spotify client to compare it to is there - so users have to use it by default rather than be 'happy' about it.
