Meta - No thanks.
You don’t like Zuckypoo?
Society’s mechanisms are far too slow and lack the precision to deal with Mark Zuckerberg — a man that acts with a lack of morality that I find putrid — and the complex machine he’s used to torture humans for profit and power. And as I’ve mentioned before, Mark Zuckerberg can never be fired. We’re stuck with him forever. He can — and will — run this company into the ground.
While Elon musk is a greedy and churlish executive, and a disgusting, shameful man, Mark Zuckerberg is something entirely different. He is far from stupid, and unlike Musk seemingly feels no compulsion for anyone to like him. He craves numerical dominance, at any cost. He must force human beings to use Facebook, and once they are there, he must make them move in the way wishes and do the things he wishes all so that he can see the number go up.
I won’t buy anything with Metas name on it. I got my Rift S until it breaks, then I am going to a different brand.
Oculus sold out and left us all out to die. They can bite the curb.
I hate to burst your bubble, but Meta bought Oculus in 2014 and the Rift S didn’t come out until 2019, so you already have a Meta product. I understand if it’s more of a branding concern, and I love my Rift S as well, but it’s still a Meta headset.
Meta didn’t put their garbage software onto Oculus products until after the Rift S came out. Meta is already about to drop support for the Rift S. The hardware was still Oculus branded, and the software was still Oculus software. I also had a DK1 and DK2, but skipped the CV1.
The point is, I am not buying a new Meta headset. The one I have is the last one I get from Meta, and after this one breaks I am going to a different brand.
I was even looking at a quest 3 (yes lemmy ik im undoing my privacy efforts). Did I push some secret metric forward because obviously the world revolves around me ^/s
They’re the only company doing VR hardware properly: standalone, inside-out, cheap.
This future sucks.
Isn’t it just lovely 🫠
