  • @detalferous@lemm.ee You don’t need a Facebook account, but you will need a Meta account, which is arguably basically the same thing.

    It’s a stand-alone android machine, so it’s using a linux kernel most likely. But that isn’t what you mean. You won’t be able to easily wipe the OS and install anything else.

    Not sure if it has a link-cable to connect to a Steam PC like the Quest2 had. If so then that will work to connect it to Linux just as well as any other headset, but VR on Linux/Steam in general is pretty poor.

    If I buy one I’ll ban it from WIFI except when actually downloading games.

  • It’s weird the way the government is on one hand fighting a legal battle to hide the contents of their whatsapp messages during the pandemic, while on the other hand they are fighting a legal battle to expose the content’s of everyone’s whatsapp messages to the law.

    It’s not really so much that there is a “tipping point” after which the tech companies will exit Britain, it’s that if you make their product illegal then they have no choice but to stop making it available.

    If you make encryption illegal, companies providing encrypted messages apps will obviously have to stop doing so, that isn’t a tipping point, it is the intended effect of the law.
