Not yet, but they’ve said it will be. Personally I’m excited to see “mainstream” social media using ActivityPub, but you’ll find that it’s quite a divisive issue.
Right, but when you try on glasses you don’t need lenses pre-made, you can get away with just blanks.
For the Vision Pro, the lenses are required to even try the headset, so there’s a chicken and egg problem: people aren’t going to want to pay for lenses just for a try-on.
I’m really wondering how the prescription lens part will work. At WWDC, they custom made lenses based on your glasses prescription, but the cost of them doing that for anyone who makes an appointment seems excessive.
It’s a polished product, with no ads, no TikTok style video knockoffs, high quality photo uploads, and a decent recommendation engine. It has all the ingredients it needs for success.
Now, don’t get me wrong, Meta will likely ruin it eventually by A/B testing it to death to maximize revenue.
While all that is true, you actually shouldn’t do that in your review, as that will often get it flagged/removed. (They’ll think it’s not a “real” review and instead part of a review bombing effort.)
Yup, this is also my problem with Signal; you’re stuck with whatever boneheaded decisions the devs make and there’s nothing you can do about it. Personally, my pet peeve is their refusal to add any kind of data export. As someone who likes backing up chat history, this is a dealbreaker for me.
A more likely outcome is Big Tech coming in and fragmenting and dissolving ActivityPub servers like all the Lemmy servers.
How? If, say, Facebook built a Lemmy-compatible instance, the worst they could do is eventually defederate it from other Lemmy instances, in which case we’re right back where we started.
If Lemmy ends up with enough interesting content that it supplants Reddit as a source for vapid YouTube channels’ content, I see that as a win for Lemmy.
