Does the DPVR E4 support Linux? (sopuli.xyz)

I always wanted to try VR since 2017 but never had the money, but times have changed. I’m on dual boot (EndevaorOS + Win 10 IOT LTSC) and currently I’m thinking on waiting for the Valve Deckard which is definitely a huge overkill for me, or buy the DPVR E4 or buy into the Meta spyware....

yaomtc,

It's not enough to just support SteamVR. You also need device drivers, which nobody provides for their headsets on Linux except Valve for the Index and Vive. (Oh yeah, and Oculus had Linux drivers, for the DK1 and DK2, which stopped around when they got picked up by Facebook.)

On Linux your other choices are ALVR or whatever's supported by OpenHMD (positional tracking with OpenHMD is either experimental or missing)

yaomtc,

No, it's being worked on but it's not there yet.

yaomtc,

I like that the Android app is open source and available on F-Droid and that self hosting is an option, so I pay for premium so I don't have to deal with the hassle of self hosting while I support the developer!

yaomtc,

Doesn't say anything about school-provided computers. But paper should not become obsolete, students need to practice digital and physical writing. Can't always count on technology being there for you.

yaomtc,

Mobile phones are a disturbance, scientific research shows. We need to protect students against this.

Wish the Guardian would have looked into this at all, researched a bit to see if the data backs this up. I couldn't find much conclusive evidence of a significant impact. For example,

What is the Small Web? (ar.al)

You can download Small Is Beautiful #23 directly, and watch it with your favourite video player. Small Is Beautiful (Oct, 2022): What is the Small Web and why do we need it?

yaomtc,

Wikipedia is not itself a source. It's a way to get a summary of a topic and to get the actual sources

yaomtc,

He's not a politician and has shown no interest in being one, so why are people talking about this? So tired of seeing his face all over Lemmy/KBin

yaomtc,

Why the fuck would you do all your grocery shopping for a month all at once? Do you not live anywhere near civilization?

Can Lemmy posts be indexed by Google or other search engines?

One of the best things about reddit was looking for answers or other users with the same problem as you, and since Google didn’t really help with that anymore and instead insisted on giving you business results, the best practice was to put your search terms in followed by ‘reddit’ and you’d find your answer.

yaomtc,

Why are people using a site named after the place they purposefully left with just one letter changed?

yaomtc,

I left reddit last night and I'm not looking back. Deleted all my posts and logged out.

yaomtc,

I have no clue what either of those things are. Can you provide some more context?

yaomtc,

Believable as in imitates the writing style, sure, but what's the point if it's factually incorrect?

From the article:

The company joins a growing number of media entities experimenting with the technology [...] These trials have already led to a flood of error-laden, plagiarized, and poorly written content due to badly implemented — and, some would argue, inherently unsuited AI models — that still have a strong tendency to make up facts.

Hate on Kotaku all you want but they don't make shit up as often as AI does

Mobile site cuts off the image at the top and bottom, though I was able to slide it up and down as needed it was somewhat awkward. I'll have to see if there's a bug report for this.

EDIT: reported it to find it's already fixed for an upcoming release👍

yaomtc,

I said "mobile site", as in the website, on a mobile browser.

OC League of Linux is Now Active on Kbin!

The global reddit situation has devolved to the point where reddit admins have been overtly lying and actively changing their site policies in order to remove and replace protesting moderators, despite having previously claimed they would “respect the community’s right to protest", among many other lies....

Made a derivative site for my docs: https://vronlinux.org/

  1. I credited you at the bottom of the main page. Did I do it right?
  2. It doesn't seem to be able to parse the doc correctly for the table of contents, ignoring the h1 and everything after the second h1. What creates the TOC?
