For the ecosystem something like Quest 3 that a substantial number of people can actually afford would probably help way more. For feedback they probably do usability testing etc. anyway.
While I do appreciate that Apple threw their hat in the ring and found some of their designs very interesting to look at I am overall fairly puzzled when it comes to the question of what exactly did releasing AVP achieve.
There's no doubt the visual quality is and will be better in many ways but not when it comes to the actual passthrough video which will never be as good as just showing reality directly.
AVP can also still be a mistake because it released now at an insane price point and without that light form factor. Doesn't really help the case that some day it can be light, especially when Apple didn't really even try with this one.
@[email protected] might be a little early to expect hearing about them... aside from the Xbox one that I thought was just branding for your standard Quest but that one would probably do better if unveiled at an Xbox event.
@[email protected] @[email protected] this seems like a perfect fit for VR so I'm really glad it first became playable with the excellent UEVR and then modded to make the experience much better. Sticking augmentations on your head just feels that much more real when you're in VR. I do wonder if the SS2 VR support they once floated for the enhanced edition is still in the cards...

Those would seem to show it is a list and does include the domain.
Haiku is really very different from what Linux used to be, it's single user with one mandatory GUI and lots of fairly interesting features from BeOS. Not saying this to discourage anyone from using it, I quite like it, but Linux is Linux and Haiku is Haiku.
This is great even from the standpoint of wanting to go to Mars since it means setting up camp in a cave is now possible to try out much closer to home first. Kinda like sleeping in a tent in your backyard first. Makes the moon that much more exciting to know there's caves too.
Felt like going back to business as usual in season 2 after a really good episode 4 in this series for me. There's some awkward dialogue and many scenes seem like meaningless filler or exposition that is put in to use more of the source material. This feels like it is done to fill in the blanks with whatever to get to the major story points from the book and really doesn't match GRRM's level of writing... weakest parts of the show in S2 for me but this definitely still is way better than the way GOT turned out in the later seasons that did not rely on the books.
That said, it was still a reasonably good episode. Aftermath of the battle was interesting (they made it clear that dragons are like nukes), found it clever how they contrasted the way team black & green handled the prospect of a woman ruling. Also good to see Dragonstone finally work to gather some forces even if things are still quite shaky on that front it seems.
@[email protected] audiobookshelf is really good and one of the most important selfhosted platforms for me. I use it for both podcasts and audiobooks through my phone's browser and avoid the need for a platform-specific app and proprietary subscription-based services.
@[email protected] all kinds of House of the Dragon content coming in as the next episode is close to airing... Can't wait. E4 was so great that my hype levels are higher than at any other point this season!
@[email protected] only somewhat indirectly related to cryptocurrency in that it is just part of the broader trend of making it possible to track all monetary transactions but I definitely don't want to see this become a thing.
Besides the privacy implications, I could see it meaning you need to own a non-rooted mobile phone using one of the major operating systems to pay for anything. We already see that kind of thing with other things so going cashless seems like it could easily lead to that becoming universal for all payments. #cashless #cryptocurrency
This is great, could always use better Android email clients and Thunderbird is quite good on the desktop at least.
