Does technology actually add value to the world?
  • My observations:

    Existing companies do tend to (but not always) stick with their legacy stack. It makes sense, it's the safe option.

    Start ups OTOH, have the freedom to choose a new and innovative stack and often do. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The ones that survive and thrive will likely be dated in another decade and be seen as the old guard with legacy stacks.

    It's the circle of life.

  • Does technology actually add value to the world?
  • Agreed.

    I also would like to add that a lot of old tech is reliable and limitations are well known and accounted for. New tech has inherent technical risk, you don't always know what you are getting and behaviour can be unpredictable.

  • "I would like to switch to Linux, but it's just not good for gaming"
  • For me, I have been dual booting, but I have also had my linux set up for a few months now and was using it exclusively until i got my quest 3.

    I can definitely see the allure of just sticking to windows if one plays pcvr exclusively or if one just hasn't taken the plunge into linux yet.

    I really do hope that support comes. Either officially or unofficially by a linux savant who knows this stuff.

  • PCVR on Nobara KDE?
  • Thank you so much for sharing.

    That is a really good point. Is it really worth getting pcvr to work if the performance is bad? Maybe it's worth waiting until it has better support (or until someone smarter than me gets fed up and just builds something & puts it on Git!).

  • PCVR on Nobara KDE?

    I am mulling over this as my project for the long weekend.

    Currently my SteamVR won't talk to ALVR. But I do have ALVR on my Quest 3. I am thinking that if I can just get SteamVR to talk to ALVR, I'll be set.

    I really want to get it working. I really want to get SkyrimVR as well with some good mods. Half Life Alyx is too scary for me :(. I hate having to boot up Win10 to play VR. Knowing there's a bajillion daemons running around and sucking up my data, giving it to Microsoft only to regurgitate it to force feed me ads, makes me sick.

    Anyway, my question is... Am I insane? Has anyone actually managed to get PCVR working on linux or is it a completely unfeasible project that I should drop now before I wind up with PTSD?

    Thank you in advance!

    Unseasonably warm winter weather sweeps eastern Australia as Sydney reaches 25C
  • It appears to be due to warm ocean temperatures and the negative southern annular mode. Polar vortex is contracted, which means we aren't getting hit by the big cold fronts we usually get. There's a big fuck off high pressure system that's blocking all of it. Often that high pressure system sits with its right edge on our coast and we get cool southerlies, not this month however, it's extending right over the Tasman Ocean :(

  • The transphobia stops now
  • The original reference (which triggered the OP to post) is a cis man saying he wouldn't sleep with a pre op trans woman.

    He said something along the lines that girldick is disgusting, I'm saying it's hot.

    If that's problematic I can delete (not sure how that works on lemmy though). I would rather hear it from a trans woman though. If you want to discuss, go for it.

  • Be careful of animals on the road, folks!

    More quality OC from me to you <3 Don't repost to reddit or I will hunt you down, tie you up and force feed you a jar of vegemite!

    Mate, it's not like driving from DC to Philly
  • Driving capital city to capital city, Sydney to Canberra or melb to Canberra are the only semi reasonable distances. Everywhere else it's a full day driving minimum even to an adjacent state. Ymmv tho.
