I agree about work, but they are definitely for communication. VRChat is very successful. I play thousands of hours of VR social apps every year and you couldn't get me to do remote work in one. It's my escape and out from the neg

Meetings are smooth for me on Teams now after months of struggling but I still get near 100% CPU usage and my Macboook can't stay in a call for more than around an hour on battery. The UI is a confusing mess with too many things integr

I play a concerning amount of VR Chat because it helped me greatly during COVID while I was single. It is an amazing experience, but I find it very dangerous for society in some ways. It has improved my mental health I think, but it's

The hacker news base and similar forum & social media 'nerd' spaces are no longer their largest customers. They've moved away from power users. Most people now using Windows, Android 12, iOS, don't care and only want
