Here's the thing, my post history is fairly mixed with respect to VR HMD tribalism.  I've critiqued Oculus where I thought they've deserved it.  I tend to call a spade a spade.

I just can't get worked up about the Oculus Home changes getting in the way of Revive.  At a high level it basically comes down to Palmer stating an open hacker mentality regarding Oculus Home access prior to either HMD being released, followed by Oculus proper publicly telling people that third party workarounds would most likely break in the future when the Revive project was first introduced.  You can cherry pick quotes as you like, but Oculus' public corporate stance toward Revive was quite clearly that it was considered a hack, was not supported and should not be relied upon.

The reaction to Revive being broken as a result of an update from some is simply that it was expected and that they're sad to see the fragmentation of the VR market.  I not only respect this point of view, but agree with it partially.  I tend to be less sad about the fragmentation of the VR market because I believe there are obvious underlying and conflicting corporate interests at play from both Oculus and Valve, and I don't particularly think one company or the other is the clearly superior moral actor here.  It will eventually work itself out.

The reaction from others is more akin to condemnation of Oculus for 'blocking Vive' from accessing Oculus Home, and vociferously hoping for the company's failure (typically conveyed through expletives).  I tend not to respect this point of view, and consider these folks little better the petulant children.  Their collective sense of entitlement to free applications on Oculus Home and disregard for the explicit warnings Oculus had given regarding Revive reveals a lack personal responsibility.

As for which category you personally fit into, I prefer to let people self-bin through their own actions.

its completely wrong to shut down early oculus backers who are obviously not hackers...oculus is going down the drain with that attitude period.

That kind of language is not acceptable on the forum. You've been banned.

I have a DK2 as well but the update seems to work fine here, no resets so far.

That's great. But it does not help me.

There's two ways to look at "works for me" posts.
One is that it's not helpful or is taunting. Certainly sometimes that's the intent.

The other is that it is helping to narrow down the circumstances of a problem.
If it fails for some people with DK2s and works for others with DK2s, then the DK2 either isn't the cause of the problem or it is just one element of the problem that requires other factors to occur (for a hypothetical example: DK2 with Nvidia fails but DK2 with AMD works). Knowing that it works for somebody is important to tracking down the cause.

Spot on mate. While I am all for an open market id like to see it done officially and hope it will be at some point. I can still accept other people will have a different opinion and thats perfectly fine but there are ways to get your point across and some of these posts saying that "thats it Ive had enough Im never spending another penny... Im telling all my mates and they wont spend a penny either" are just daft and childish.

[OFF-TOPIC] How do you turn off notifications for a particular thread, e.g. this one. I'd like to continue receiving email updates for threads that I have participated in, but not this one. Is that possible, or will I have to turn off all notifications for threads I've participated in?

You click the little star at the top right again, that should "unbookmark" it.

I think he's using the notification for "threads I've participated in", which doesn't automatically bookmark the thread. If you're using that notification setting, I don't think you can stop getting them on a thread-by-thread basis.
