Since Microsoft seems to not care about the #Privacy impact that the #Copilot+ #Recall feature has, I am going back to #Linux as my daily driver. All my #Homelab servers run on Debian or its derivatives, work servers run RedHat or Windows, but I have not used a Desktop Linux for quite a while as a daily driver. I've been playing with Debian 12 with Gnome for the past few days, and next I'll be playing with Fedora, which I have not used since the early 2000's. We'll see how fast I can catch up.
BTW, since I work mostly in #VR using #Immersed, that is one of the first things I tested, and I got to say, their work to support multiple virtual monitors with #Wayland+#Gnome has really paid off, it works flawlessly in Debian! I need to test it in Fedora in the next few days. Can't wait for my #Visor to arrive. #WorkInVR#Immersenary
VR ehti saada jo oman kalustonsa verkon parannuksen lähes maaliin. Nyt piti vielä parantaa tukiasemien kattavuutta radan varrella. Rahaakin oli varattuna, mutta Lulu Ranteen johtama LVM keskeytti hankkeen ilman ennakkovaroitusta.
W najnowszym odcinku MKwadrat gadam o różnym sprzęcie #VR – o akcesoriach, dzięki którym mogę siedzieć w #VirtualReality długimi godzinami, a pozostałe osoby opowiadają o różnych dobrych grach.
Tried out Dungeons of Eternity tonight in #VR where you fight off legions of the undead 🧟 I will say a lot less fun on your own (i.e. creepy AF) but a good laugh with friends! You’re only allowed a group of three though, which means we have to wait for one of our usual four to be away/deathly ill/with better friends/fed up of our shenanigans.
Update on the #PC#VR thing: I customized/built a spiffy new PC (MicroCenter built it don’t judge) so I moved my old PC to our living room since my wife (and I) loves Beat Saber and we want more songs.
Tried to find a non-Facebook option. Yes, I know it basically rules the market but I don’t care—Facebook can DIAF.
Gave the HTC Vive XR Elite a try. Ugh is that thing a complicated mess. Plus it’s a lot more than what we want.
Now Sony’s announced PC compatibility for PS VR2 on Aug 7. Jackpot.
If you are interested in the use of virtual spaces for online events, do check out this event next week!
Organised by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), this #astrophotography gallery is hosted in spatial: a 3D virtual space you can explore via a regular web browser or #VR Meta headset.
I love virtual spaces for feeling I've "gone somewhere", and the audio falloff means you can chat to people you meet... or run off and ignore their babble while you cruise the #astronomy art.
New Review Essay on @lmesseri tremendous new book, ethnography & tech, social hopes, & false dreams of tech solutionism. Also discussing work of Andrew Brock, Zeynep Tufekci & Kelsie Nabben on Black Twitter, Twitter & ethnographies of DAOs.
The International Astronomical Union (#IAU) are hosting an #astrophotography gallery in #VR! The event is on May 27 from 11am - 12:30pm UTC and May 28 from 8pm - 9:30pm UTC, and showcases astronomical photographs captured with a smartphone 📱🌌
The event is being held in spatial.io, which is accessible from a VR headset (Quest), or just from your computer browser (i.e. no headset needed).
