Was a really fun event, great at building our community, thank you to all involved! Looking forward to the next one

Ahhh ok, that makes sense, thanks!

Im confused with Steam VR for linux. I cant seem to get it to work, and the FAQs page says vr streaming for linux isn’t ready yet. So are these updates just in preparation for a future working capability?

I dont really care about any of this crap. Let me install my own internet browsers, fix the poor keyboard hit boxes, let me build my own predictive text library…

A lawsuit waiting to happen… someone needs to class action MS for systemic breaches of privacy. Think of all the critical infrastructure, government, medical, policing, etc. systems processing sensitive, private, and in some cases classified, information.

Yeh, tried ALVR but ran into to many issues to troubleshoot that I just gave up. Figured it might only be a few months wait until Steam sorted something out, give how much effort they have been giving to improving the linux gaming experience.

Exciting. Hopefully Steamlink for Quest on Linuz might be working soon.

Having to install a dual boot to windows again after many years has been such a horrible experience. Modern windows is now just openly hostile to the user, fighting you every step of the way, telling you it knows best and “if you would just submit to it, this whole experience would be better for all of us”. Like some nightmare monster created by combining an NSA agent, a control-freak abusive ex, and power hungry dictator, all rolled into one operating system…

Walled garden platforms doing what walled garden platforms do I suppose…

Better late than never I guess?

Wayland is not ready yet. I’ll wait till its done before jumping over.

I presume mint will eventually overtake ubuntu as it’s just a most stable, user friendly, and sensible build.

Exactly. Steam figured this out early on and it’s how they have maintained their dominance in the game distribution business. It’s the same lessons the entertainment streaming platforms must learn - your value is convenience. Add more walls between consumers and content? you will be cast aside.

If the system can’t protect itself from being overwhelmed by the cancer of corporate interests, then it’s never going to survive. New wave internet needs to learn from the downfalls of its predecessor. The design must have protections built in to prevent capitalists from capitalising, or else it will inevitably fall.

Why bother with making any apps these days when you can just build a web app and have it work across platforms.

Hilarious. I thought njalla got shutdown a few months back. Looks like they are back up and running. Any story on what happened?

This exactly. This is the audience for proton mail, and their success while sticking to this model is hope for us all

Tell me about it, it’s way to cold for chrissy! 30 - 35 degree chrissy with some beach and bbq are the best.

Related to the recent reddit mobile site update that straight up breaks the website perhaps? (Cant scroll, can’t interact)

Walled-gardens are fundamentally bad for communication. Discord is not a solution, it’s a problem.
