The default icon now supports iOS dark & tinted app icons :)

PC version seems to be well received. You can return the game up until 2 weeks and <2h play time, so it might be a good idea to grab it shortly before full release and then return it if you don’t like the update.

I guess it mostly means elbows. I’ve also heard that upper body tracking could be used for something like walking direction, but afaik not a single game is actually using that (there’s 3 or 4 games that use upper body tracking at all).

Super excited for the full release. It’ll be flooded by 5 year olds, but as I understand it they plan on having custom stations and a level editor. I wouldn’t be shocked if this ends up being more popular than gorilla tag, with a more active competitive scene than Echo VR. But we‘ll have to wait and see.

I’m assuming you’re talking about Orion? Because that’s still years away, if they ever end up shipping at all. Meta has the tendency to promise a lot.

I’m sure there’s feedback to be gained by actually releasing something, but I bet they’d like more people to actually use it. But yeah, it doesn’t look like there’s tons of apps being developed for it. They do keep reiterating how many companies are using it. Curious what their next version will look like.

It does help by building out the ecosystem though and getting feedback for future versions. And it exists, which is more than can be said about Orion.

Yes, it’s super confusing. They’ve actually renamed a lot of stuff to “Horizon”.

The app is called “Meta Horizon”, the operating system is called “Meta Horizon OS”, there’s “Horizon Workrooms”, the “Horizon Feed”, and the previously mentioned “Horizon Home”, non of these have anything to do with “Horizon Worlds” which is the thing everyone thinks of when they heard that word.

Not horizon worlds, horizon home. That’s the “Home Screen” of the quest where people appear if you join them on a call.

You can play it in vr or flat as I understand it

I’ve opened a Pull Request for this. They’re not perfect, but probably better than not having anything at all.

Haha with that cover it could be “Zuckerberg is funding a puppy orphanage” and people would still downvote it

In addition to what Emotet said, I‘d add that no matter how closed or open the platform is (and it isn’t even as closed up) no one outside of Lemmy will care as long as it’s a compelling package.

Well said

Thanks :) pe1uca summed it up pretty nicely. I‘d add that you can get all your channelIds (which you need for the rss feeds) by exporting your YouTube subscriptions via google takeaway. You can take a look at what the rss feed gives you, it’s as pe1uca said the 15 most recent videos and sadly not all the info: duration e.g. is missing.

I’ve been on basically that exact same journey. I made a little iOS app that uses rss feeds and the iframe player to play videos: Unwatched for YouTube (just released it two weeks ago). It’s also open source, if you have any specific questions let me know.

Thanks :) Are you also seeing the dimming issue?

Actual black for the pro phones?

That $353 million Q2 revenue came alongside a whopping $4.84 billion in costs, resulting in a quarterly “loss” of around $4.5 billion.

They’re still a long way off before they’re actually making any money on this.

I find the title somewhat misleading, the growth continues year over year compared to the quarters to last year, but not compared to the same quarter yoy to previous years.

It also still looks very sad compared to the investments that they’re making. I‘m curious to see how Quest 3S will change affect this.
