Sure, that sucks. But I’m not saying there are zero downsides, I’m specifically countering the argument that there are “no good reasons” with my personal good reasons.

Thats precisely what I’m referring to- these things being possible when you’re inside of a store, restaurant, or an extreme case like you parked at the airport for a trip.
The fob won’t work if you’re deep inside a store, will it? Same for checking the mirrors.
That’s a very subjective take. My friends and family that live in hot climates love the ability to remotely turn on and pre-cool their vehicles. I appreciate being able to check if I remembered to lock the doors.
They have neither confirmed or denied it being a trans allegory. It depends on how you interpret the response Lilly Wachowski gave in an interview a few years ago:
Continuing on The Matrix, you confirmed a couple years ago that it was a trans allegory —
No, I didn’t.
You didn’t? Tell me more.
Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrix questions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.

Thank god because that following shit was so confusing
I bought $1 of bitcoin around 5 years ago just to see what would happen with it. It’s now worth $6.70. Do I regret not investing more? Ehh no.
You can uninstall a lot of Apple’s apps that come preinstalled on an iPhone. Not all of them, but a surprising amount.
I went back and looked at the articles I had read and dug a little deeper to get to an interview with Lilly Wachowski herself:
Continuing on The Matrix**, you confirmed a couple years ago that it was a trans allegory —**
No, I didn’t.
You didn’t? Tell me more.

To be honest, her statement doesn’t seem like either a denial or confirmation to me so 🤷♂️
From what I’ve read, The Matrix wasn’t created as a trans allegory, it’s just that you can apply the fundamentals of its story to many concepts. One of the most popular interpretations happens to be gender identity because its creators transitioned years after the original trilogy ended.
It’s likely because the Quest runs Android and we already have Android ports of San Andreas, which would have expedited things theoretically.
Garry isn’t even technically building an engine from scratch, right? I thought S&box is heavily modified Source 2.
Someone on Lemmy did a markdown test of all existing Lemmy apps and posted the results. Raccoon was one of the worst performers, and after seeing the results the dev went nuclear.
Here’s a comment on the original post talking about it. I think the thread’s OP ended up removing Raccoon from their results but the damage was already done.
They should open up the consoles to have the ability to run full versions of Windows, I bet that would boost sales a little bit.
Society isn’t ready for that
Lemmy hates Meta but honestly the Quest 3 is a fantastic headset. I use mine semi-regularly for wireless Steam VR.
The FTC is specifically pissed that Microsoft was allowed to acquire Activision and then this price increase happened. It flies in the face of all the shit MS said wouldn’t happen to get the merger approved.
I soft quit Reddit last year and deleted all my profile’s comments and posts. I only kept it around because I had heard Reddit was restoring deleted posts and I wanted to make sure mine were gone for good. After several months I stopped checking.
This article made me finally pull the trigger and go in to delete my account. Surprise surprise, two pages of old comments had been restored.
