From a beginner perspective build environment of C is pretty bad compared to modern alternatives. Especially if you want to switch platforms.

Honestly, at a glance, the library design is horrible. A mix of C macros and global variables. The project is really small, to fix it all you need is a single struct pointer that gets passed to around.

Effectively what they are doing is just making me want to buy/use US software less and less.

How long until Windows OS is going to be monitored?

It isn't a problem.

Just like monitor manufacturers don't offer prescription glasses along with the purchase, Oculus won't offer lenses.

Corrective eye-wear is very individual and requires some amount of expertise( exam, specialist ), so it doesn't make sense, and it isn't very feasible, for Oculus to provide that for you. Also contacts are very cheap.

Doesn't that fall under vigilantism? Publishing fingerprints might get you in trouble.

In most countries you are forbidden to take photos in a private setting without permission, and in some even in public.

wvenable's comment is on point. Just as public websites aren't public domain, publishing information delivered on request might not be legal.

No, the code is still copyrighted by Networks Layer8 or Airtel.

Publishing or delivering it on request doesn't make it public domain.

Here is one definition of public domain: the status of a literary work or an invention whose copyright or patent has expired or that never had such protection.

Great argument. My country is much more relaxed when it comes to bike parking ( and stealing unfortunately ).

OP mentioned 26.8% for Sweden. That is not low compared to Singapore.

Interesting. Certain animals use herding, the same strategy, against predators.
