    Thankfully I haven’t had to use any Meta products for a while now, and as far as Alphabet is considered I’ll turn 126 years old on 01/01/2026 and live where my country’s parliament building is. Because fuck them, that’s why.

    I can’t even access any Fakebook crap, because I have blocked any Zuckerbot service since a long time. It don’t exist anymore for me in the web.

    January 1, 2000

    Or optionally if you want to keep your birthday, just do that but with 2000.

    I’d love to see some statistic showing the user birth dates spiking in the absolutely realistic years of 1900, 1945, 1969, 1970, and 2000

    I backed the original Oculus Rift, and felt massively betrayed when they sold to Meta. :(

    For years since I’ve been waiting for A VR solution that plays nice with Linux and is at least somewhat privacy-respecting, and I have been absolutely unwilling to buy a Quest device or anything else. I want to play VR but I’m not willing to sell my soul for it. So it’s been an unhappy but conscious boycott from me.

    I too then am super looking forward to the Steam Frame because it’s the device I need to get back into VR and feel happy and excited about it, rather than disgusted.

      This has been such a depressing trend over the last few decades.

      Fresh bright-eyed startup with a passionate creator develops some interesting and innovative product.

      Gets bought out by FAANG, turns to shit and stops working properly or gets discontinued, and primarily functions as a spyware device.

      Palmer Lucky turning into a Bond villain wasn’t exactly something I expected when I first saw him pushing the original Kickstarter Oculus
