> Today we’re introducing Meta accounts: a new way for people to log into their VR headsets that doesn’t require a Facebook account.

Great. where can I not signup.

From the company that brought us "shadow" profiles, this is fucking risible. "Instead of a Facebook account, you can have a... uh... Fasebook account. Totally different, we swear!"

Yep, they lost me at buying Oculus.

Meta has no scruples. They'll try to track everything I do. I will not give them any more of my information if I can help it.

Is there a VR headset out there with inside-out tracking that isn't made by a scummy advertising company?

HP Reverb G2. Also happens to be the highest resolution headset I think

Please keep in mind this article from 2 months ago:

“We do not have an adequate level of control and explainability over how our systems use data,” Facebook engineers say in leaked document.

If that is the case, does it matter whether you have a separate account or not?

Wonder if there is a way to jailbreak their headsets and install SteamOS instead.
