what a sad hill to die on
- t1c 2y agoI don't think it's a particularly sad hill to die on – Meta has proven themselves to be exploitative, invasive, and downright malicious time and time again.
- zooq_ai 2y agoI feel very sorry for people who feel that way and have their identity tied to hating Facebook/Meta
- t1c 2y agoI don't get your point -- you're allowed to not like an invasive company and you're allowed to refuse to use their products if you don't like what they're doing. I don't think anyone in this conversation is making it their personality.
- gretch 2y agoYou came into this comment thread without any insight to add or anything interesting to say. You came in just to cast judgement “I feel sorry for people who don’t use Facebook”. In fact it is you who has tied their identity to feeling superior to others. Other guy doesn’t sound like it’s his identity at all.
- gretch 2y agoNo one is dead on a hill. If anything, not using VR makes you much more "alive". A real misapplication of this metaphor.
- zooq_ai 2y agoonce again, I feel very sorry for people who haven't enriched their lives with VR experiences and skills building. No different than people who poo-pooed computers and internet

- t1c 2y agoI've used the Valve Index before, it's a great experience but not something that I found to be groundbreaking or life-changing.
- zooq_ai 2y agoYou just haven't found your App yet.
- t1c 2y agoI don't think it's that... I've tried many VR apps and games (as far back as 7 years ago!) and it's just not for me. Don't get me wrong, it can be fun and engaging, but not a game-changer. And that's fine, people are allowed to enjoy what they want to enjoy, and vice versa. There's a reason people have personal preferences.
