The Music Thread
Share some of your favorite songs, artists, ideas, creations, etc. Here's mine... I'm a huge fan of The Metal but I think I'll start with some of my legendary, less angry, favorites. Probably my favorite band of all time across all genres is Primus. I've seen them live twice, and I've seen Les Claypool live in his solo act once. It all started with "Jerry was a Race car driver" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBQ2305fLeA For those who don't know Les, fun fact: he once audition for Metallica and they denied him based solely on the fact that he is far too damn good for them. I've seen tons of bands live (Slayer, Megadeth, Sepultura, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, Korn, System of a Down, Pantera, Slipknot, Lamb of God - to name a few). But Primus is the band that showed me first hand the largest mosh pit I've ever seen, and it was to this mighty cute song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wADSBoNkGMI A few thousand people went ape shit at the 1:37 mark. I hold in high regard just about everything Claypool releases; if I had to pick a favorite song it is simply, Here Come The Bastards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa2il_zHFm8
Instagram Bussines Account Disabled
Greetings yall, Im part of a parkour sports team under the name of Jump.patras that has been going hard on instagram the past few years, we love working with instagram , love posting and being up to date with the Meta team and its work, always making sure we follow every aspect of the community guidelines and try to grow ourselves through you. Some days ago we got disabled from instagram and facebook and i think in most Meta applications under the scary reasoning of : Sexual Child Exploitation. Now im aware this not the place for such post but WE HAVE BECOME desperate, meta is refusing ANY sort of communication or assistance, rejecting appeals and attempts of any sort of resolution. INCAPABLE of banning vile and horrid accounts out there posting horrific videos and photos , instagram ai decided to just ban anyone under any reasoning it can find fit apparently and we happened to be one of the many unfortunate ppl this summer. Why is this more important than any of the other people going through the same thing? Its not. But on top of everything , we happen to be very well known in our City of origin, with many older Athletes but also... younger ones.. to which parents we report to. Word got out that we were restricted from the face of the earth and due to our city's gossipy nature, people also found out why, thus having the Local police enforcement in many member's doorsteps including my own, questioning and performing investigation on said rumors. This.. is ... SCARY , we are scared this is UNACCEPTABLE. META!?
How would you design a headset?
It seems headsets now still are designed around either comfort (the MeganeX or Bigscreen Beyond), or for Price (the Quest 3S is a great example at a really low price) or clarity (like the Crystal Super or Varjo XR4). There are no extreme field of view headsets anymore like the StarVR One or the Pimax 8K. It seems fresnel lenses are dead, only the Playstation VR2 used it. But how would you design a VR headset? QLED or MOLED, which lenses? Focus on price, clarity or field of view, or comfort? PCVR or standalone?
Attempted account hacking
I just want to make sure noone else falls for this. My sister was playing gorilla tag when out of nowhere all the apps on her vr disappeared except one called "birthdayfarty". It had an all black icon with two white dots. Im assuming someone put that there hoping a little kid would click it and get their accounts stolen. Luckily my sister didn't click it. What i did to get rid of it was go into settings and delete the file then restart the vr.
Referrals in Unsupported Countries
Am i able to redeem my US friend's referral link if i live in an unsupported country? (Brazil) I have a friend that lives in the US that plays VRChat with me (i'm on PC), and he said that if i bought a headset and set it up with his referral link we both would get some credit on the Meta Horizons Store, i bought a headset, and it arrived today, but i couldn't follow him because i live in Brazil and his referral link doesn't work, i've been searching for this information for about an hour with no satisfying answer so i made this post, i already activated my headset without it because it wasn't worth the hassle, but if it can help someone else with the same question then i'll be satisfied.Forced to have horizons, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. Intolerable
I have a Quest 3, and I think it will be the last meta hardware I buy in the future. It's unacceptable that they force us to use HORIZONS, and that we can't uninstall WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook (they reinstall themselves when I turn on the headset). It's unacceptable that they do this.
