I’m using Monado with my WMR device. It’s still very early days but progress is good. The big issue is that you’ll need to have up-to-date firmware, and the only way to do that is on Windows.
6dof works via basalt (and there’s hand tracking as well I believe) but right now the experience is very Janky. eg if I put the headset down it gets confused and starts drifting heavily, forcing a restart. It used to crash sometimes on some types of motion as well. My WMR controllers aren’t being detected and 6dofing properly even though they should be. But the bones are there.
Here’s a video of Monado being used and doing the tracking.
Alice Cappelle generally tackles social issues, and here she shares the idea that school under capitalism is seen as transactional, and therefore this results in teachers being disrespected, which stymies education.
Offsets can work if you treat them like rent rather than purchases. ie: You hold carbon tokens for the carbon you emit, and the value of those tokens drops as the carbon from the fast carbon cycle goes back up, so you have to buy more as the tokens depreciate.
Disappointed that gmtk doesn’t address the fact that this wouldn’t really be an issue with physical media because it can be re-sold and kept in a library.
While, yes, Steam doing this is… OK… The resale is what matters. Technically passing it on via Gog’s download is “piracy”, but having some sort of physical identifier for the thing makes it legal to resell.
Yeah this is true, but also money is made up? Like all animals just go in and eat food, and they will regularly do so on farms, but only humans get punished for it. Humans get kept away from food which they need to survive for purely social reasons.
Like imagine an alien looking down on us and for them money is totally arbitrary and they’re all "wait what are those humans even doing? Like there’s food right there and they are stopping the hungry humans from eating it, but they don’t seem to mind as much when it’s other animals…
So for me, the really screwed up thing about statements about money is that a bunch of people have just… forgotten? that money is made up? Like the old statement “people can sooner imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism”.
So this person is going into a Discord with a moderator, speaking a different language to the one used in the discord, and then calling the mod a racist? Sorry man I’m with the mod on this one.
This is probably even true in the philosophy sense. Basically instead of a single lever, each of us gets a lever which might change something or might not, or it might do something unrelated. This means that everyone’s responsibility for that decision is dithered. This sort of rewrites the trolley problem. How does it change the philosophy? No idea.
Why is this solarpunk? Because changing society takes people power. Because protests change nations. Because for the last decade protests inspired by democratic anarchist principles have sprung up in nation after nation, from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street. And the after action report of the first two decades of the 21st...
I think the author / article muddies the concepts of “horizontal” and “organised”, and I guess also leaves the obvious question unanswered: Why means? Because we’ve seen what happens when we pursue ends, over and over again.
Edit: A couple times I’ve said eBook while I actually meant Audiobook. I’ve learned that Spotify has a 15 hour limit per month for their free ‘included in premium’ audiobooks. However these are the two books I listened to for free, and even rounding up to 13 hours it doesn’t make sense, unless they count accidental...
Recently went to India. Pretty far along the energy transition in some ways. E-Autos (tuk-tuks) were semi-common, as were electric buses and cars, and ebikes and e-scooters too. Some places also had e-rickshaws. India is honestly like 90% of the way to being completely Solarpunk.
I already have the original Steam Deck and I’m considering the OLED model in the future. But I’ll consider the Claw if the Linux support is good. What about you guys?
Some context here: she works for Our World in Data, which is Hans Rosling’s organisation (edit: I’m wrong, see below). While I don’t have a problem with Rosling, he’s ideologically aligned with Pinker and liberalism in general. There are good critiques of both, namely that they think no problems require systemic solutions, and their supposed empiricism comes with some serious holes.
The funniest example of this is JK Rowling “solving” slavery in Harry Potter by… declaring that slaves just like being slaves. IIRC unlearning economics has a good video on Pinkerism.
My apologies. I saw Rosling mentioned in the article and misremembered the site. Serves me right for writing the comment distracted and without doing my DD.

Like maybe the day might still get called monday, but will it have the same or similar meaning (aka people hate monday as the start of the work/school week)?
80% of everything sucks. It’ll keep on sucking after anarchy. The only difference is the drive to do the sucky work comes from within, so “I hate Mondays” becomes more of an adulting exasperation.
