The people editing their images in Blender are the same people who edit their videos in Blender lol.

TIL that Nintendo designed the usb-c port not to be compatible. Fuck them for that.

lvra.gitlab.io is a great source of info for vr on linux. The discord server you mentioned is also bridged to Matrix for those who don’t want to use discord.

I had My minecraft server scanned by at least 3 different bots, and I even had some friendly guy join my server that apparently found it using a bot he wrote. I’m now using a whitelist lol. One of the account names that scanned my server was "Fifth Column, which is a griefing group.

There’s plenty of good, open source UX in FOSS. Have you seen the Gnome family of apps? They look great and are easy to understand.

Don’t worry. They can send the reports to /dev/null where they will be read by Tim Apple himself when he checks it.

I switched my server from Ubuntu to Fedora, partly so I don’t get sold Ubuntu pro on every login lol.

Vanilla Firefox is not clean either. It

• Has sponsored articles on new tabs
• Uses Google by default

Though, these are trivial to disable and even come pre-done on the linux distro I’m using to writ this comment.

I guess the cost is worth it to Google just to entrench themselves and their products even further into the lives of most people.

Voyager is pretty slick. I think it’s UI is almost perfect and waay better than the Reddit UI.

They better have had traffic cones on their heads. The mental image that creates is quite funny with the contrast to the serious businesmen trying to sell AI one booth over.

With how easy it is to Massgrave to get a valid Windows key, I personally don’t even consider backing up windows keys lol.

I think it’s probably down to preference. I personally really like Fedora server because it comes pre-installed with the Cockpit webui which replaces the role of Portainer and makes other admin tasks like firewall openings and user management trivial. I’m definetly glad to have switched away from Ubuntu server which I was using before.

IIRC Meta was one of the first companies to publicly release a language model that you could run on your computer, called llama. Hence the naming of projects like llama.cpp and ollama.

I find the ad blocking in Gnome Web to be sufficient. The biggest thing that is holding it back in my opinion is a lack of features like extentions and FIDO support and moderate performance.

Huh. I have personally found SteamVR to be slow and very flakey, even on Windows. I find using monado I can just play. I guess monado has a bit more initial setup, but I personally found it to be worth it.

Maybe they mean that they use flatscreen applications in VR, or maybe they take all their meetings in VRChat.

Yes, Meta shit actually works quite well using Wivrn apart from it being, well, from Meta. lvra.gitlab.io is a treasure trove of Linux VR info. SteamVR is kinda shit on linux, so using the open source openXR runtime Monado is ideal. I personally use a pimax 5k I got cheap used to play Beat saber and it works quite well. While not complete, there is very promising progress on getting WMR headsets working. The Index, Vive and Vive pro all work with no fiddling though if that’s what you’re after.

Hugo is also pretty cool.
