      Signs are there that Oculus Quest will have a dev mode for sideloading apps. How accessible will that developer mode be to all buyers? Can a company like @epicgames get a hypothetical Fortnite VR installed this way? What about an alternate store? @TimSweeneyEpic @ID_AA_Carmackhttps://twitter.com/prvncher/status/1056193848488194048 …

      Given that it's based on Android like Go, it'd be highly unlikely that you wouldn't be able to. They've also mentioned that devs can get the go when the it ships to consumers, which implies it can be used as a dev kit, and thus support sideloading.

      This is based on the Go experience: Dev mode is only available if your oculus account is registered as part of a Dev organisation. Only then can the user enable the mode via the companion app. There is no prerequisite atm for becoming a Dev. It will be a hassle though

      Bleh, a closed platform attempt around VR.

      If you allow easy sideloading, how do you prevent malware? I guess Fortnight could give us a worse case scenario for comparison.

      A permission-based security model like iOS and Android is the first and strongest line of protection. Locked-down stores do nothing significant to prevent malware; that’s just the old excuse they use to justify their monopoly on digital distribution and commerce.

      Users don't read the permission warnings and you can't push security patches without a central store. I think developer mode is a reasonable compromise.

      This “reasonable compromise” gifts a multibillion dollar monopoly to a huge corporation by creating a barrier to consumer choice and economic competition, resulting in higher prices for users, and less income for developers...

      Security and privacy are more important than that. The only company that consistently manages to do both of these at scale is Apple - the biggest monopoly of all time! I really hate that this is true by the way and closed platforms offend me as well.

      Apple’s lousy software distribution and commerce monopoly isn’t the key to the safety of apps; the real driver is their excellent OS security model. The web will always lag hopelessly far behind what’s possible natively.

          Are these two separate points, that the web lags technically, but also that iOS has a good security model? In my experience, the whole reason the web lags technically is b/c it has such a strong security model by default - everything on the web is considered untrusted content

          I've lost track of how many times I've seen web standards discussions which hobble the functionality of a feature because to allow arbitrary code to do the same thing as native would be a glaring security hole. On native we just handle that with closed platforms and app reviews
