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."

@utopiah actually they could put the SteamOS on it no?
@utopiah aussi cette table ronde est intéressante: ça parle d'interopérabilité, de vie privée, de reprendre possession des casques et des usages, de redévelopper du hardware et des filières en Europe en fédérant, voir d'écoconception et cycle de vie (casque sur les étagères et bioplastique)
"open source/libre" n’apparaît pas mais c'est sous-jacent aux autres notions
ça sort de la hype et met l'accent sur les usages utiles (formation/éducation/culture)

Ouch, many people (rightfully) not happy that Meta suddenly decided to stop offering Horizon Managed Services, less than a year after it was introduced as a paid product.
Also, some unclearity if it will be free for all, or only for existing customers

Does anyone know if this would work: building a mega beefy pc running Linux, and use it for gaming (including #VR), but also use it for work running a VM to run Windows?
(I need Windows for work, unfortunately, as I use Excel for massive financial model building.)
I'm thinking a 64gb machine could handle it in theory, perhaps at the same time? 👀, but before I try it has anyone got this setup going? If so what #distro?
