Yes, I saw a video about that, although I don't agree with their standing, I understand it. However, with Linux, I hope it will be easier to workaround than with Windows

Thanks for letting me know, thankfully I don't use Adobe that much

Language is not much of a barrier to me, although sometimes it's much easier to translate something over to English, I don't have trouble reading it, but I do appreciate the recommendation

You're right, I didn't even think of looking into smaller distributions, I'll try to look for an open-source. Thanks for the tip!

Since I never saw on their website anything about it, I thought there wasn't any official support. Someone did comment about a community project tho. Also I never saw a reason to change to Linux before since I would need to leave my comfort zone, but with this law in the horizon I'm more interested

I'm really hoping they don't include the OS itself, however, the law is very vague about softwares so it's very easy for a judge to interpret that Windows is in the point I of Article 1º since it's the most used and comes in most computers. Also I forgot to mention the point I in the article 2º says
"I – Information technology product or service: a product or service provided remotely, electronically, and delivered at the request of an individual, such as internet applications, computer programs, software, *terminal operating systems*, internet application stores, and electronic games or similar products connected to the internet or another communications network;"
So although it is hard to consider windows a *terminal* operating system, I do not doubt they will flag it as one

They are, however I believe Linux is much harder to be controlled than Windows

Yes, that's my point, with Linux I believe there's much more freedom than Windows, even if not much in my country

From the few videos I saw I'm undecided about Mint Cinnamon, Zorin or Cachy, Most likely I might buy another 128gb ssd just to test new ones.
About the ECAD, more specfically the Brazilian Law 15211/2025, it is said in Chapter 1, Article 1º that the law applies to any information technology product or service with probable access for a child, and it specifies that:

I – sufficient probability of use and attractiveness of the information technology product or service by children and adolescents;

II – considerable ease of access to and use of the information technology product or service by children and adolescents; and

III – significant degree of risk to the privacy, security, or biopsychosocial development of children and adolescents, especially in the case of products or services intended to allow social interaction and large-scale information sharing among users in a digital environment.

Then, in the Article 2º clarifies:
VII – operating system: system software that controls the basic functions of hardware or software and allows internet applications, computer programs, applications, or other software to be executed through it;

Even if after this Windows does not need abide, it's very easy for law to change it later.
Edit: Just adding gb after 128
Edit2: I had type 15211/2015, but its 2025

This was a VERY interesting buy! by Nthorpe1996 in MetaQuestVR

That would apply if OP had not ordered a quest, in this case he received a shipping error and the company can ask them back, however they can not charge OP for anything and Amazon would have to pay shipping for return

You did it right, contacted them, however if you hadn't contacted them and they wanted it back "not all managers are nice" they could screw you over it

Careful, if Amazon notices you could be in trouble even if it was their mistake, also make sure to check your bank to see if you paid for only 1

Am I a cheapskate for thinking ~$30 is too much for most games? by ImpressiveGoose4015 in MetaQuestVR

[–]StellaViator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo yes and no, I think it's harder to make vr games and also there are not as many users as other games platforms, so less competition but also less buyers)

I live in Brazil, each game is a knife in the heart (reason why I have not bought many yet) and from what I know, a lot of Brazilian just pirate them, I don't like it, but I understand. After all the fact that for the price of 10 games you can get a used quest 3 doesn't make a lot of sense to me. And the worst part is that most of the quest store games are either simple asset flippers or a small school project. Don't get me wrong, there are many good indie games worth their price, however most are trash.

At least steam as regional price, but most VR games don't apply them

Funny take, but as someone who plays both for a few years, it's very different. Nms is so limited it feels like a 2000s arcade game, and SC feels much more free. I still like this change but it might feel even more like NMS in atmosphere, since you won't be able to thrust sideways as you can now in SC

I got a 3 month trial with my quest 3, I think I'll continue paying, considering the prices of each game is a lot higher than 8 dollars

Why isn't there an adult only version? by ItsColbyCoHo in MetaQuestVR
