Nah, most of the good meta vr tech was from john carmack. Ever since he left the company to do ai stuff, the meta software has gotten worse and worse. There was an issue a month ago where quest headsets were being literally bricked (bootloader errors) from an update and meta had to go and replace all the headsets affected by the bug.

Yeah but I personally don’t like seated vr games. If I’m playing a game seated I would rather play on a monitor where I can see the real world.

Im not a furry but I see a lot of furries on VRChat. Most non bigots on vrchat play in friends+ worlds because there aren’t trolls if they have to know someone to get in.

Their goal is to create phones with floating screens. At the point where quest 3 is, ignoring the weight and slightly janky hand controls I can see the vision and future technology could make that real, but I don’t think its good for society. VR games also will never be mainstream since they require movement. I love VR gaming a lot, but 99% of people will try it once and never again. Its inherently niche. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on vr gear though so I don’t really mind if all VR games are niche since I like the janky indie games.

Porn / ai gf. Thats what 90% of ai power users do.

idk I was using a 12 year old cpu and it worked fine for gaming. Only upgraded because I wanted to compile stuff in reasonable timeframes.

What

But they just personally don’t want that on their instance while they create the lemmy software that allows for everyone to speak their opinions.

Ok I found this post like a week late, but TikTok bought a VR company called Pico several years ago and they were investing money into new software and headsets, but recently cancelled all of their planned games. They are still making a new headset, but they also seemed to cancel their entry into the US market. They also had a ton of layoffs last year.

So basically, I think they’ve lost interest in VR.

Depends on your definition of gen z, and the oldest of gen alpha has barely started getting into highschool. As a zoomer though we are on our way out.

Highschooler here, everyone already uses vpn’s to bypass the school firewall to view blocked sites and stuff while on school wifi.

Yeah noticed this when I started to make chatgpt write more sentences in essay’s I was doing. When you make chatgpt write the next sentence in a paragraph 9/10 times it just rewrites what you wrote in a different way.

Looks like there’s an emacs package for elastic tab stops.

There are tons of tlds with arbritrary unicode characters

You can just right click on the url bar to add search engines to firefox, I did that for the nixos package repository and youtube.

As for duck duck go, you can try searxng instances though you are putting your trust in some random admins in that case.

I think a big problem with apple doing this is that they literally decided to make the body of the device out of steel, which is much heavier than other materials like plastic. The bigscreen beyond is the currently lightest headset, but the only things in the headset are the displays, processing and tracking are outside of the headset and no passthrough cameras. So basically with current lens and display technology its still not possible to get glasses like formfactor in VR headsets, let alone with integrated cameras, processing, movable ipd, eye tracking, etc.

They also didn’t erase the game, they have a beta in CS2 for playing legacy CS:GO, although there aren’t any more official servers you can still play on community servers.

Cpus have had integrated graphics for years… My 11 year old cpu has awful graphics that I try to turn off usually.

osu! is a competitive game that is open source, and its arguably the most popular rhythm game right now and there’s not much of a cheating problem.

You can find a lot of old school websites hosted on neocities, though a lot of them are more of an art project than an actual website.
