Zuck on the Apple Vision Pro

Zuck reviews another competing platform on another competing social platform. Is is also really weird to not be able to tell if this is actually Zuck or a deepfake. Visual quality and his language both feel like they are right on the edge.

Zuck briefly teases that the next generation of Meta will be the “open model” like PCs were vs Macs. If I’m understanding that correctly, he’s implying the Quest OS will be available to other VR hardware. Perhaps even open source?

I wasn&#x27;t expecting to find that nearly as compelling as I did. It actually makes me want to get a Quest 3. His point about &quot;open&quot; also makes me very happy. Between the open source stuff they&#x27;ve been doing the last many years such as React et al, contributions to CentOS, and of course the massive contribution of LLaMa, I&#x27;ve found myself slowly shifting from &quot;Facebook is an evil company&quot; to &quot;Wow Facebook has become one of the companies I view more favorably, though of course they still have a lot of generic big-tech evils in them.&quot; These are strange times.<p>The thing that has been holding me back is Linux support. I&#x27;ve been Linux-only now for 10+ years and have no interest in setting up Windows.<p>Has anybody done the Quest with Linux only? Last I heard the experience was frustrating and lots of stuff didn&#x27;t work. Is that still the case?

This is like asking the Coca Cola executive what they think about Pepsi’s new competing product

Apple vision is great for meta. They can make the category cool and then meta can undercut them.

Yeah but, he would say that.

I&#x27;m not gonna bother messing with any of these headsets until they&#x27;re using transparent OLED displays instead of video passthrough for AR. Why deal with the latency and bulk to show what&#x27;s already going on right in front of me in infinitely high resolution?

He’s one of the most authentic big Co founders.

Executive of a company manufacturing a competing product claims that their competing product is superior to their competitors. In other news, dog bites man and water is wet. Film at 11.
