Apple's Vision Pro headset deserves to be ridiculed

That's an old ass article
- Does that make it less interesting or relevant?
  
  If it was a written prior to the products release by someone who had never used it, then yes. Yes, it probably does.
but those concerns appeared to have disappeared by the time the Vision Pro and its two screens directly in front of users’ eyes took the (virtual) stage.
Lost me here. The focal distance of those screens is not 2cm. Unlike the phone you hold 25cm from your face, when you're lying in bed at night failing to sleep, they have clever lenses and shit.
If you go straight to disconnect.blog literally all their content right now seems to be a hate-on against the AVP, lol.
I'm not saying I would ever buy one of these, but then again I didn't buy an iPhone until the 3gs either.
Much more interesting view of the AVP from a more "the street finds its own uses" perspective here:

(Mind you, even he says at the end that he would never buy this particular model.)
- Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
This is what they should have looked like.
Maybe version 2
Oculus already does enough. Just iterate and miniaturise.
- And preferably do it not connected to Meta or Google or any other large org that makes money spying on its users and sharing their data.
