VR is also a big performance suck. Most native VR games run pretty efficiently, but if you want to play sim games with a VR mode you pretty much need a 3080+ to get decent power for a 4k headset (and 4k is the "minimum" for sim games - obviously people make do with less, but it's tough to read dials/labels/etc. below 4k).

An apt analogy! I guess I'm of the perspective of not spending my time worrying about things I can't help or change. I'm not a tech developer, I won't be creating an app to take on Meta minus all the darker shit they do. The majority of the tech world uses their products, which means I'm going to end up having to use them in certain scenarios, too.

With the battery on the back of the strap, the Pro at least seems like it'll be more comfortable despite being a bit heavier. All that weight on the face with Quest 1/2 can get uncomfortable without a counterweight after a while.

Yes it's how you bury content. But it's just you and me here and whoever is going to come after us to see where this thread leads to. At this point we are so far down and replying to each other so quickly we are essentially texting each orher. So by downvoting each of my texts as soon as you get them it seems like you are having a very emotional experience right now

Yes and the virality is fed to people with competing ideas to rile them up and increase clicks. You're just telling me I'm wrong and then proving me right just in more words.

It's a bit like this.......... Companies like his buy up everything, and before you know it that self stirring spoon you bought, made by some independent manufacturer who saves dolphins in Japan is bought up by the likes of Zuckerberg. Avoiding these capitalist vacuums is unavoidable unless you want to live in a tree eating berries 🍒

Nah it's not misdirection. So as I explained there is a natural virality to content. The baseline for most of these algorithms is to notice when something is breaking out, and boost it further. That process is indifferent about the actual content
