    Officially it is Meta. Facebook is owned by Meta but the Quest headset is not a Facebook product. I get it, it’s easier to say Facebook for everything owned by Zuk, like saying Google for Youtube instead of Alphabet.

    But it is not precise nor true and plenty of comments here are saying “just leave Facebook” while OP did not post about Facebook nor having a social media account there.

    And TBH, I think all VR headset are kinda ugly, it’s either big rectangle brick on your head or big round brick on your head.










  • Hey kuddos to you brother.

    I’m a private pilot and professionally an air traffic controller.

    If, for reasons, the corporate world of aviation doesn’t want you that doesn’t mean you can’t fly.

    A VFR PPL is a legit simple way of flying, but out of your own pockets and not a career (ultra light is even cheaper and those ULM are getting crazy good).

    I know plenty of small executives charter companies that will recruit anyone to fly their citation or pilatus. Granted that those are shit employers that abuse the young licenced pilots but that a job in aviation 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I also know a “self made entrepreneur pilot” that is hella happy. He created his own ferry flight company, so he delivers a new or 2nd hand bought plane from the seller to the buyer. This can be dangerous tho as you might be asked to deliver an old piper archer II from rural America to Europe. It’s your job to figure it out and do it as safely as possible (as you are the PIC so if anything happens well, you are the one in a bright orange survival outfit in the Atlantic).

    Or another one that flew helicopters for oil platforms companies and ended up flying the fire fighters helicopter during the fire season.

    Anyway, just to say, there are plenty of jobs in aviation, not only being a ATPL Airbus pilot for whatever company so do not lose hope o7
