It's official, the #Metaverse failed!
Meanwhile I don't even know 1 person who ever visited it 😅

Not one(!) after:
#Meta "...had funneled some $73 billion into Reality Labs. To put that into context, you’d have to spend $1 million per day for 200 years to match that kind of spending."

I guess it would be very risky buying a Meta Quest 3 headset now when Meta has stopped its Metaverse thing.

Note to the clueless: There are lots of fun and useful uses for VR headsets that are in no way related to Zuck's "Metaverse" fantasy. Some headsets, like the Quest, even have apps (games) that run *in* the headset, they are not just VR accessories that need a PC. Still, I assume there is a real risk that Meta kills the Quest business, too, when it kills its Metaverse thing.

Note 2: Personally I have zero interest in in the type of games that run in VR headsets themselves. I use it for games that run on the PC, mainly Flight Simulator.

So I need to look elsewhere for an eventual replacement for my HP Reverb G2.

Looks like a very motivated developer made a patch for #kwin and turned #KDE into a fully featured #VR desktop 👉 https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/8671
