Yes, it is technically not called a facebook account, but it is effectively the same thing in terms of privacy.
I disagree. The worst thing about the facebook account requirement was that it meant your VR profile was directly tied to a public social media account with your full name and possibly even more personal info. That's much worse when it comes to privacy. It forced people to join an otherwise unrelated social network just to get their VR headset working. You could lose access to your VR library by getting banned on facebook. Without all that, it's the exact same thing as the regular Oculus accounts that existed before the facebook requirement.
In any case, you can think whatever you want about meta accounts. I simply pointed out the fact that facebook accounts are no longer required. I didn't say that meta accounts have good privacy or that you should get a Quest. I personally use a Valve Index. Downvoting an easily provable fact or calling it bullshit seems silly to me but eh. I guess reddit's debate culture is slowly taking hold here as well.
Read my post again carefully. They used to require a facebook account, which they no longer do. A Meta account is just an email address and a password, not automatically connected to a social media profile.
Learning-wise, I'd say starting on PC makes much more sense. You'll have a much easier time developing and debugging the game, as you can test right on the device you're using to create the game. In terms of it being profitable, it's very likely that your first game won't be. I'd look at it as a learning experience first and foremost that will enable you to make profitable games in the future.
I work as a software developer, making 3d, Virtual- and Augmented Reality applications for industrial and commercial customers. For example I make trainings where you learn how to operate certain machines in VR or tourism apps where you can explore the history of a place through phone AR. Basically, I do the same thing as a game developer, often using game engines like Unreal and Unity, but not making actual games.
I work from home, so a typical day is just me sitting in front of my computer for 8 hours a day. Sometimes I have to visit a customer or a trade show for a few days, so I'll take the train and stay at a hotel somewhere. It's generally a pretty interesting job where I get to use a lot of different tools and hardware. It's also not very stressful, in contrast to actual game development.
Riding my e-bike is still a physical workout, just one that takes me further than my regular bike. I can take bike paths or forest paths and don't have to always use the roads. E-bikes are quiet.
The little Polish (formerly German) village my grandma grew up in. She never got to see it again after the war, so I want to make the pilgrimage there in remembrance of her.
The family treasure is also supposedly still buried there, but I don't think the locals would appreciate a random German digging holes in their village so I'll refrain from searching for it...
It depends. Names for people and locations get reused all the time, both in real life and in fiction and of course it's fine to do so. At this point, it's probably impossible to be 100% original all the time with the amount of books, games etc that are out there. However there are some names that are so iconic that people will immediately connect them with a certain work. For example I wouldn't write a fantasy novel and name a city "Minas Tirith", as everyone will just think of LOTR. But calling a city, say, "Dragonstone" is just fine IMO, even though it's a place in ASOIAF (and probably more than a few older fantasy books).
This might vary between markets but at least here in Germany, their pricing is very competitive. You can currently get a base ID3 for 29,760€. There are very few if any similar sized EVs for that price. Software is okay, not the sleekest you can get for sure, but it does its job. They're the second most successful EV brand after Tesla here. I assume if you've never thought of them as something you'd want to buy, you've also never driven one?
What makes you say that? I've driven (but not owned) an ID3 for the last 3 years and it's pretty great. Only major criticism I have is that the controls are too heavily touch-based with a lack of physical buttons. But the actual driving is wonderful.
Die Bahn hat ja mehr als genug Probleme, aber die Bahnhöfe sind wie ich finde vollkommen in Ordnung. Ähnlich sauber bis sauberer als in anderen europäischen Ländern und besonders unsicher habe ich mich auch nie gefühlt. Die Zugangskontrollen die es in manchen anderen Ländern gibt habe ich als eher nervig empfunden. Vor allem wenn es dann so läuft wie z.b. in Großbritannien, wo man als Interrail-Nutzer nicht einfach sein Ticket scannen kann sondern es immer einem Mitarbeiter zeigen muss um durchgelassen zu werden. Das jetzt wieder bei uns einzuführen wäre meiner Meinung nach absolut rausgeschmissenes Geld das die Bahn an anderen Stellen bitter nötig hat.
