What exactly does Monado do? It was also referenced in regards to the Index but I didn't end up needing it (and there weren't any native packages so I didn't offer)

Nice! VR was one of the increasingly few things I kept Windows around for, but when am update screwed my drivers I gave it try on Linux again. Initially it didn't look promising but a couple of tweaks and going with SteamVR Beta - as even with the Index it didn't like regular SteamVR - I had things working just as good as in Windows for any of the games I've tried.

I'll have to try things out with wireless and the Quest 2 that's been sitting on my shelf, and maybe see what the compatibility is looking like for the newer devices (or wait and see if the hinted "Frame" is the next Gen)

No. Though if it were somebody who was sexually assaulted after repeatedly praising and promoting rapists I'd probably similarly acknowledge the irony.

This guy reaped what he showed, and despite the initial attempts but right-wing issues to make it a battle cry to blame and attack the left even more ... it looks like it came from somebody even nuttier than him in camp "go go fascism". Had it been somebody else in his circle of crazy who took the hit, I've little doubt that a Kirk would have been part of the "we need even more guns to fight the left" crew before they even identified the attacker.

While I am not going to recommend bullets to heads (or necks) as a good idea for solving these issues, I'm certainly not going to cry about this particular neck intersecting said bit of ammunition nor fail to note the irony in that given his platform.

I'm still thinking a lot of those "people" are just "bots"

I'm wondering how many are even "people", rather than Russian bots etc

Actually, he's such a gun afficiando that he regularly eats bullets for breakfast, but this time accidentally ate a live round which was later set off by stomach acid and propelled in an upward direction at a slight angle.

Was he though? Nobody has been arrested and charged yet so for all we know the shooter could be a jilted lover etc. might not even be a "he" for that matter

Well, they used to be. Digital locks and built-to-fail (instead of just cheap) components plus decreased component manufacturing is making that less of a thing.

A crazy person no. A cult of crazy people in a compound... yeah rushing can be more dangerous than holding back

Yeah, and after having dealt with the "I missed a few updates and then the last one put my files out of sync with my schema" Docker issues, I'm very much happy to use the snap. Been on that a couple years and it's been quite solid, even if I did have to install snapd on my Debian base for it

The obvious exception to this is cases of addiction or poor life decisions.

Like if you collect/play Pokemon or whatever as a hobby and are excited to get a rare card, that's great and I'm happy for you.

If you're underwater on your mortgage and your basement is full of beanie-babies - that you're sure will make you rich in the future - but you just won a bid of $1000 for one rare beanie on eBay... yeah I'm not gonna be happy for you I'm gonna recommend talking to a professional

Hmmm. I was thinking since sort of flat screen that masquerades as a picture frame. Maybe an AIO device for game streaming.
