Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp all go down in major outage

Why connect software with outside servers? Really?

This is one of the reasons why Oculus isn't the big name in PC VR anymore.

If you have any interest whatsoever in an Oculus Quest (1 only, 2 is permapozzed from launch) running in non-pozzed mode the window to get one is going to slam shut very soon. End of october (iirc) is when they're killing the Oculus authentication servers and transitioning fully over to FB account linking for basic auth/appstore access, and if you're logged in and authenticated on a Q1 you can run an app that forcibly removes everything Facebook related as well as all the telemetry at the cost of breaking the storefront.

This might seem like a dealbreaker but you can laglessly stream VR stuff from a gaming computer with this setup (even one below the minimal VR specs since the Quest is handling a ton of the CPU load for positioning/tracking) as well as sideload most android apps. Google Earth VR combined with an ambient rain app is a good time.

hehe, my mom was just asking me about why her facebook wouldn't work on her phone and tablet.
I rebooted both devices and facebook was not working
I was like, WTF, I have no time for this crap
then checked google and then found this thread

And think the last time I checked my Facebook account was early 2020
so, I wasn't aware of FB being down
and I dont care for Facebook censor bullshit, so, they can get fucked for now and I just wish it was permanent

FYI, before facebook wen't down, there was a whistle-blower whom happened to be an ex-facebook manager that was on 60 Minutes spilling out some stuff

A little unrelated, but did we seriously need a whistleblower to tell us that Facebook has been shown to do more harm then good, and that they prioritize profit over public safety? Those revelations are about as shocking as the fact that grass grows, and we need to drink water to live.
