Can any of these work without some idiotic third-party account?

If you're just talking about WMR devices (and not VR in general), then no, they don't require an account. The Reverb G2 is the most supported by Monado (and has the best hardware), but I'd try to get the V2 revision. And the cable is a common failure point, so could be an issue with a used purchase.

And Microsoft for that matter.

Localised entirely in your kitchen?

For what it’s worth, the primary reason I joined lemmy.world, in particular, was their offering of old.lemmy.world

I thought you were joking, but nope, it's real. Neat.

Looks like Monado is our only hope. Pathetic support from Microsoft but hopefully it will be fully supported in Linux in the next few years.

At this time of year?

Sometimes they are even taking advantage of welfare themselves, but don't seem to make that connection.

The second and arguably more important component is that conservatives strongly believe in social hierarchies (even if they are themselves near the bottom). So it doesn't actually matter if their lives get worse, as long as the lives of people below them (i.e. minorities) are even more miserable. In addition, they believe the rich should stay rich and maintain or increase their power, because they naturally deserve it (this would have been the monarchy and the landed gentry/nobility etc in the past).

Some gas is needed for firming and "last resort" purposes, but I don't even think we need any additional supply beyond what we have (especially if we cut some of our exports).

I'll include non-fiction books that are based on academic works but aren't aimed at an academic audience. They can use footnotes so they are not too distracting, but some of us do want those sources.

And they are not even the only comedians doing this. It's basically a trope at this point.
