I came pretty close to buying an index off marketplace (blegh) but then I snapped myself out of it. I'm really really hoping Deckard offers some innovation over what is currently available in terms of VR, and that it is a mostly open platform.

Whew thank you. You're the only person in this thread that has actually made good points about your opinion, instead of trying to be snarky or clever with one-liners. I'm in almost total agreement with you, although I still won't condemn those types of protests. I think they are probably more harmful than useful, but I understand the place it comes from is one of frustration with the absolute ridiculousness of our world and the powers that run it. I sympathize with those types of protesters, and what I assume is their frustration with the ineffectiveness of bottom-up solutions (to me, preferred) in the face of mass contributors to the problem -- heads of government, corporations, etc.

Once again thanks for the actual good-faith and thoughtful response.

Wow you're so great! thanks to you, climate change is now a thing of the past! Oh, wait…

(obviously, in jest. that's great you do that. You probably should've said something like that to begin with)

I think the whole point of acts like you describe show how you (people) care more about a painting than the continual ravaging of life on this planet by those who seek wealth and power.

What does the Mona Lisa matter when more and more of the worlds population is scrapping to survive under constant threat of environmental and economic collapse and war brought on by the people who host and visit such works of art.

One man has control over the widest-spanning and quickest-to-establish communication systems during natural disaster scenarios. He has previously used this control to affect military operations of sovereign nations. He also has control over one of the largest social media platforms. Now, he is in the ear of the soon-to-be worlds most powerful person. (Assuming that person isnt already him, himself.)

I'm a linux admin with very little development experience (amateur at bash scripting, did some python in school, understand the concepts of object-oriented programming, but that's pretty much it) doing rustlings in my spare time. I want to be able to contribute to open source projects and be able to understand more of the discussion in the FOSS space, but it's pretty hard to see the big picture tbh and I don't know if I'm wasting my time.
