Not sure if a Chinese company is the answer. Also they seem to be less interested in being a Quest competitor going forward and didn’t even fulfill their single promised exclusive title. There’s a decent amount of games though and it’s not Meta, so that much is true.
It seems much better now, thank you :) Is it still on 0.19 or did it get reverted back to 0.18?
I‘m already using voyager. I’m pretty sure it’s not the app that’s slow, but the Lemmy server. Doesn’t matter which app you’re using.
Probably was too soon to upgrade then, compared to Lemmy.world, which is still on 0.18, it’s day and night.
I think you got the target audience wrong, this isn’t a PC gaming headset. It doesn’t even have or support VR controllers.
This is more of an iPad replacement, second screen, productivity and consumption device. And it’s going to be the first one that actually has a big library of regular apps from the very start. Arguably the bigger market, not just for gamers.
It’s expensive (and too expensive for me), but if you put it next to a MacBook Pro with a few upgrades it’s the same price and those get bought without thinking about it.
To become more mainstream it definitely has to be cheaper, but there’s something bothering me about how all the other prices are acceptable.
MacBooks are more of a working device and the upgrades are optional, the starting price is cheaper, I know. Still, these price points aren’t unheard of for Apple.
That bug has been there since the release of custom icons and it’s never been fixed by Apple. Every app has that issue, it’s annoying.

I was speaking in a general sense, but I’m glad you figured it all out.
I don’t see how a purely magnetic watch band attachment could work for a watch, but I guess we’ll see. Would definitely be a shame to loose band compatibility.
Iron rebellion is definitely a game to keep an eye on. It’s still in early access, but getting closer to release and sitting in that cockpit feels amazing. Hopefully it won’t be too long until it shows up on the main store. It’s already by far the best VR mech game currently out there.
Yeah the graphics look a bit muddy occasionally but they said a Quest 3 improvement is coming. And I agree with the annoyances you mentioned. The menu seems to be made for a headset where you never turn irl, the notifications only appear on one side and so does the menu. And not being able to jump down e.g. a wall you just climbed is equally annoying. There definitely is a lot of stuff in the game though.
You can pair a mouse and a keyboard afaik, but there’s nothing else there. Its not a “general purpose” platform.
It feels noteworthy, but I don’t think anyone will care about this. Who‘s going to use the Quest as a productivity device, natively? And why?
On Quest at least you can return it up to 2h of playtime which should be enough to get a feel for the game
Of course cooperate social media isn’t the only harmful social media, if anything it might be the most civil one for its scale, simply because they’re trying to sell ads next to the content so the content can’t be complete garbage. They also have a bunch of other incentives that ultimately make it a shit experience for everyone, but there is an incentive to moderate.
Something to remember is that it isn’t the company producing the harmful content. It’s people.
While that’s true, I’m not sure how many people are using Mastodon that way and if that’s actually the main concern. In the end it still is meant to be a public platform. Not on the same level of “private messages and photos” where most people would probably be very concerned.
I occasionally feel the same way. However, I don’t think it’s a big issue to select the community first and then post to it instead of creating a post and selecting the community after. It’s the same amount of steps either way.
Look at the fediverse’s monthly active users, it’s declining. There’s a pretty solid wall of friction when trying to participate and the vast majority of people won’t ever be a part of it in its current state. There’s no upward tend here and I doubt that it’s ever going to be a real danger for meta.
That’s an extremely poor choice of sponsorship for that particular video, made me laugh quite a bit
