In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is described as the mental disturbance people feel when they realize their cognitions and actions are inconsistent or contradictory. This may ultimately result in some change in their cognitions or actions to cause greater alignment between them so as to reduce this dissonance.

That would seem to be a failure of your client's or instance's Markdown parsing. The link works correctly from Mbin.

Touch typing. Like I said I cannot find any reputable statistics. touchtypeit.co.uk claims "according to research" it's less than 20%, but does not actually link any specific research. There are some other sites like it that are trying to sell you a product and list a low percentage, but I can't find any actual studies or statistics

From the article:

Your eyes are your mouse when using the Vision Pro. When typing, you look at a virtual keyboard that hovers around, and can be moved and resized. When you’re looking at the right letter, tapping two fingers together works as a click.

So they were working backwards to determine the inputs based off of the observed eye motion.

I have a much less modern VR headset and you can definitely still type on a regular keyboard while you're wearing it. You can't see the keyboard though, so you need to be skilled enough to touch type. I can't find any reliable-looking statistics on it with a quick search, but it seems like that is not a very common skill

On the contrary, I've had a USB cable last multiple phones before. I think the trick is to avoid using it when it's plugged in as much as possible. Another common pitfall is that microfiber (pocket lint) can build up in the charging port over months and years, resulting in a poor connection. You can usually remove this by turning the phone off and using the tip of a wooden toothpick to gently scrape out the lint.

I definitely think they should include a cable in the box though.

that "virtual keyboard" sounds awful, glad the flaw was caught quickly lmao I would just use a regular keyboard while in the headset, but I suppose that doesn't work for most people who need to look at it to type.

How did you take away "they were asking about Mastodon" when the question mentioned bluesky first? OP was asking for a comparison of the two, which your link does not provide, putting your answer somewhere between unhelpful and irrelevant.

You keep arguing with people pointing this out as if your response was a complete answer... It seems like you cherry picked the middle of their question and ignored the rest. The more-generous interpretation of this scenario is that your reading comprehension sucks. That's my point.

And if you're really feeling so insulted by my pointing that out,

Dude, grow up.

edit: and it would have taken such a small additional effort to maybe clarify that you were only addressing part of the question instead of dropping a link with no explanation. You could've prevented a lot of confusion by being a little less lazy in your original reply.

One more great reason not to use Apple phones.

I recognize them too. It's that person who bemoans everything about themselves and their life, then argues with or dismisses every comment that's offering advice or trying to help. I hope they seek professional help eventually. What is this, the third or fourth account by now?
