It feels noteworthy, but I don’t think anyone will care about this. Who‘s going to use the Quest as a productivity device, natively? And why?

On Quest at least you can return it up to 2h of playtime which should be enough to get a feel for the game

Of course cooperate social media isn’t the only harmful social media, if anything it might be the most civil one for its scale, simply because they’re trying to sell ads next to the content so the content can’t be complete garbage. They also have a bunch of other incentives that ultimately make it a shit experience for everyone, but there is an incentive to moderate.

Something to remember is that it isn’t the company producing the harmful content. It’s people.

While that’s true, I’m not sure how many people are using Mastodon that way and if that’s actually the main concern. In the end it still is meant to be a public platform. Not on the same level of "private messages and photos" where most people would probably be very concerned.

I occasionally feel the same way. However, I don’t think it’s a big issue to select the community first and then post to it instead of creating a post and selecting the community after. It’s the same amount of steps either way.

Look at the fediverse’s monthly active users, it’s declining. There’s a pretty solid wall of friction when trying to participate and the vast majority of people won’t ever be a part of it in its current state. There’s no upward tend here and I doubt that it’s ever going to be a real danger for meta.

I think Bluesky is even smaller. It probably could’ve been a Twitter competitor before threads came around.

100% agree, I think most reactions here are blown way out of proportion even though I can relate to the general "fuck meta" attitude.

[–] fer0n@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

What communities are you talking about specifically? I tried but I haven’t yet found a list of those that defederated preemptively. I can’t imagine it’s the majority of instances/users.

[–] fer0n@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have the same question. Lemmy and Mastodon are both public and as of yet, no one was able to tell me what "privacy" actually looks like for data in that context. Other than the fact that Meta will destroy it. It’s public, anyone can access it already.

I‘m so looking forward to this, hopefully won’t be too long until it shows up on PSVR.

I thought long and hard about my top 10 so far and it’s actually quite difficult, there’s more games I’d like to add to it. This year‘s been really great overall.

Apart from Echo VR, whose main action was to get killed in August. It would’ve been my absolute number 1 for basically every year, I used to play competently and made a lot of good friends there.

But apart from that, this is the list I came up with:

  1. Dungeons of eternity (Quest)
  2. Resident evil 8 (PSVR)
  3. Synapse (PSVR)
  4. Gran Tourismo 7 (PSVR)
  5. Breachers (Quest)
  6. VR Skater (PSVR)
  7. Arizona Sunshine 2 (Quest)
  8. Assassins creed nexus (Quest)
  9. Ancient dungeon multiplayer (Quest)
  10. Puzzling Places multiplayer (Quest)

With the year coming to a close, I’m wondering what other people enjoyed the most. Feel free to give a top 3, top 10, or whatever makes sense to you :)

Adam Mosseri:

Second, threads posted by me and a few members of the Threads team will be available on other fediverse platforms like Mastodon starting this week. This test is a small but meaningful step towards making Threads interoperable with other apps using ActivityPub — we’re committed to doing this so that people can find community and engage with the content most relevant to them, no matter what app they use.

 

Might be a small change, but it’s my favorite iOS 17.2 feature. I use the playback control frequently and this saves me one tap every time.

ByteDance's main hardware focus now is the development of a high-end Apple Vision Pro competitor incorporating "cutting-edge technologies", a project which Osawa reports is codenamed Swan. This Swan project is "still largely experimental and conceptual" though, Osawa writes, and there's no clear timeline for it to become an actual product.

TL;DR: Meta is beta testing advanced AI features on Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. Beta testers in the US can opt-in for early access to features like camera aided visual translation/summarization of text and asking any questions related to the image or topic within a certain period of time. Meta plans to make it available to everyone next year.
