I'd argue that your sentiment is part of this alleged "victim hood culture". you're complaining here about people who feel offended and hurt on a regular basis. is that really affecting your life? would it affect you if _your_ personality would be what you consider the ideal - strong and unapologetic (as in apologizing when necessary but not just to please people)? you wouldn't give a f...

let me tell you what those people need - it's the clock work orange therapy with a Bill Burr twist. there you have your treatment ...

so, you mean a thief who goes to the police to honestly declare what she stole should be entitled to keep the stuff?

That wasn’t the GPs point. The GP was saying that the real root of the problem isn’t Oculus’s mandatory FB login but rather that FB is allowed to harvest and link profiles across multiple devices to begin with.

He didn't say FB shouldn't be hit with an antitrust probe, in your analogy it would be actively tracking thieves down instead of waiting for the thief to voluntarily turn himself in

that's an apple/onion comparison ...

What do you mean?

I think he's referring to the fact that Index must be tied to a PC and Quest is standalone, and probably also that they use different app ecosystems.

Also $1000 vs $300 heh

Well, they are very different devices. The Quest is currently a one of a kind device when it comes to ease of use and setup. (Which makes it doubly annoying to me the Facebbok tie in. I adored the Quest one but I sent it back for a refund due to Facebook's ridiculous decision not to allow multiple user accounts. A device which I'm not using 95% of my time cannot easily be shared with other family members?! Utter madness. /rant)

Finally - can't wait to buy the unfacebooked edition.

My thinking is that it's best to buy it now, while Facebook is still selling them at or below cost, then install whatever root, or hacked OS, or legally enforced update comes out in the future

That's the problem with most books. Stretched out like a Netflix production.

Ha, I actually associate Netflix with the opposite, killing their best works before they come of age.

Non-fiction books are terrible for this though, there's often a few brilliant pages buried in hundreds of pages of filler. Fiction (ironically, as a deliberate consumption of free time) is often not nearly as bloated.

Well, one could at least argue that reading a book that has no relationship to you in any way might be a waste. But narrowing this down to only your work - yeah, that's a harmful mindset for sure. You are not just your work ...

That's hilarious ... this really is a gem hidden in Wikipedia.

Don't Germans already have the right to disconnect? You work 8 hours and then you switch off the company phone. Done.

I'd argue this is bad timing. Biden won't let that slip.
