For everyone commenting outrage, a very reddit thing to do btw, why not try reading the very short article and try some critical thinking. Lots of bad habits from reddit have made their way over to lemmy, can we at least try to RTFA?
Outrage seems common everywhere today. The good thing about it is that it lasts five minutes. And then they get outraged by something else. Oh, btw I had prescription inserts done for my quest 2 and the company required a prescription too.
It's not good at all. All these outrages allow assholes to get away with shitty things. Unfortunately the media treats every story as the end of the world... And then move on after 48h
And that's why I rarely read/watch news. Usually the signal to noise ratio is a bit better on Reddit because I can avoid the worse subreddits, and I'm hoping lemmy will get there (e.g. I loved the /r/neural* series of subreddits).
This just smacks of stupid entitlement. Nobody is forcing you to buy the product and they're upfront about what you need to do to get one. I wish there were more hackable/open headsets at a reasonable price (I'm a Linux user, so open firmware is important to me), but they don't, so I'll wait until there is. If Apple wants a controlled experience, that's totally fine, I just won't buy it.
I don’t think it’s a Reddit thing, but a generalized tendency in social media. Since lemmy is getting more and more popular, the same behaviour will be present here.
