Not sure if a Chinese company is the answer. Also they seem to be less interested in being a Quest competitor going forward and didn’t even fulfill their single promised exclusive title. There’s a decent amount of games though and it’s not Meta, so that much is true.

It seems much better now, thank you :) Is it still on 0.19 or did it get reverted back to 0.18?

I‘m already using voyager. I’m pretty sure it’s not the app that’s slow, but the Lemmy server. Doesn’t matter which app you’re using.

Probably was too soon to upgrade then, compared to Lemmy.world, which is still on 0.18, it’s day and night.

I think you got the target audience wrong, this isn’t a PC gaming headset. It doesn’t even have or support VR controllers.

This is more of an iPad replacement, second screen, productivity and consumption device. And it’s going to be the first one that actually has a big library of regular apps from the very start. Arguably the bigger market, not just for gamers.

It’s expensive (and too expensive for me), but if you put it next to a MacBook Pro with a few upgrades it’s the same price and those get bought without thinking about it.

To become more mainstream it definitely has to be cheaper, but there’s something bothering me about how all the other prices are acceptable.

MacBooks are more of a working device and the upgrades are optional, the starting price is cheaper, I know. Still, these price points aren’t unheard of for Apple.

That bug has been there since the release of custom icons and it’s never been fixed by Apple. Every app has that issue, it’s annoying.

I was speaking in a general sense, but I’m glad you figured it all out.

I don’t see how a purely magnetic watch band attachment could work for a watch, but I guess we’ll see. Would definitely be a shame to loose band compatibility.

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.

I thought it was already possible, but I guess I’m thinking of blocking communities

it’s Meta, so who cares?

Most people don’t care if it’s Meta, or what Meta even is. Also, Meta has by far the most VR users, and the Quest 3 is already one of the most used Steam headsets. The Quest line is the most relevant VR hardware out there.

the Zuckersphere is a horrible place

Probably in the future it will be, but not right now. Metas product lifecycle always starts out with being good to their users, which is where we are currently. The enshittification usually comes later. For some aspects (content and standalone) it’s basically the only option. If and when we reach that point there will hopefully be alternatives.

it’s still Vive or nothing

I’d love to have a Steam standalone headset, but it doesn’t exist (yet?) and the Vive is truly outdated by now. Not even bigscreen beyond or the index?

I get the trade of and it’s probably been the correct choice as I can’t imagine that specific theft affected a large portion of users. Still an odd place if you find yourself without your phone and soon after locked out of your digital life including you bank account and much more.

It’s great Apple is taking steps to improve the situation there.

The phone passcode, though, not your account password, which I still find an odd choice. All you need(ed) was the pin to unlock the phone to completely take over the entire account, including all your passwords and with it probably bank accounts, pictures, disabling find my, etc.

Yeah that’s the problem with apples apps, they get one release and then varying degrees of updates once a year. But most of them keep getting better and if they work for you they’re a great option. I went back to Notes, reminders and keychain and I’m quite happy, but not entirely happy ^^

I guess we can hope for an update in a year and if we‘re lucky it gets what we’d like to have.

I’m assuming this is a topic for Lemmy and not for Voyager. Sounds like it would make sense, though.

Add support for opening Lemmy URLs

I’d be up for it, but I guess no one else so far ^^’

I get what you’re trying to do, but tbh I’m not convinced that that’s a good idea.

I’m pretty sure there’s at least a good portion of people in !virtualreality@lemmy.world that want nothing to do with Quest due to Meta being the company behind it. Even though the Quest community is quite small, at least everyone in it signed up for it (except for people coming at the posts from other places). There‘s nothing keeping vr people from following two communities if they choose to.

Forcing everything Quest related onto the vr community to have a bigger audience is comparable to … idk, forcing electric cars onto a combustion engine community. Sure, it’s related, but maybe they specifically don’t want to see that there.
