I mean we all realize all the smartphones have both of these things right. I mean that is why I don't really like them but I would more like AR although realistically not in a corp is controlling everything way. If it was open source and local and under my control that would be super cool. permalink fedilink source parent [–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children) Eh.
