    Too bad that Zuck is trying to force people to use FB with it as well as push more vendor lock in from what I have read. Also, you have the huge problem of removing market incentives. I have seen projects where the "product" is internal crap that is the pet of some C-level boomer moron, those...

    Depends on what your definition of far better is, mine is that something is making a profit without being subsidized, the way Meta's headsets are.

    Considering the quality of the graphics and the longevity of the project I am quite surprised that it still needs high-end gaming PCs to run. For games like Alyx it would be a requirement, but have you seen the metaverse? Looks like some of those stupid LEGO videogames from 10 - 15 years ago...

    Well, there has been a working and fairly popular VR chat for a while now, and I even know a few people that use it, hell, Bearing did a lot of shit on there years ago, I think Sarg and and that Canadian dude that hangs around with them did, too. I see zero utility in VR where telecommuting is...

    Yeah, gradually the reality is catching up to these Silicon Valley shits, however even at that P/E ration FB still has a lot of problems, the main one being the CEO and his obsession with VR. Also, we are in a downturn and money flowing into advertising will decrease, and Facebook has the huge...

    The Fish rots from the head, and a lot of these so called Tech Entrepreneurs with measly sites succeeding and astronomical company valuations have been flying too high. Their shitty little sites are neither essential nor a big enough technical breakthrough to warrant the amount of ego stroking...

    My google account was opened when I created my first g-mail account, IIRC, which was fairly early on when Google began offering that service and they hadn't gobbled up YT yet. I don't even think that ever had my real name or credentials, period. As to G+, well I don't recall when I started...

    Connecting those two was a bad idea, also what real identity? Multiple gmial/google accounts were and still are a thing, and they didn't even require you to use a phone for Gmail once upon a time. Also they relented and removed the connection, IIRC. Overall the experience on Plus was imho...

    Google Plus was actually a pretty nice alternative to Facebook, IMHO, one of the few products that make me legit sad it is gone. Stadia is, IMHO 'ahead of its time' in the sense that a lot of triple A garbage companies want something like it. On the one hand, streaming actually lets you play...

    So basically pie in the sky buffet tailored to boost the company's stock price and con investors into putting more money into a 'growth' stock.

    Hey, as long as Zuck and the other Silicon valley assholes pull all the normie casuals that infested the internet into this web 3.0 nonsense(2.0 btw was basically DoA.)I am happy, if they are stuck in a stupid corpo version of Second Life the SJWs and other nitwits that infested all my favorite...
