Does it come with linux support?

I still wont use it if its optional but id be nice if they supported there own product on the fastest growing Gaming OS

I dont have any nitendo emulations but i guess this tells me i should collect some and save em on a harddrive just in case i ever need it.

Software preservation is a nobel act after all.

Spatial computing is arguably incredibly useful but all depends if people feel comfortable wearing it for extended amounts of time.

The first one was a cool tech demo, i suppose this one will be more an early adopter version but i don’t see the tech being mature enough to have people stop using a laptop.

I played a few hours of this game and i played the original to death.

Its not bad, its actually “a better video game” by a large way. But its definitely not what i was expecting.

Graphics are childlike and lowres, while i was really hoping for a Hogwarts legacy level of fidelity. The “your heroes” bit in the tutorial had me cringing.

Its more inspired by quidditch and not at all faithful but that is what makes the gameplay better. The snitch may come up 3 times in a match and gives 30 points.

But that means that snitch is actually a proper tie breaker.

In the old game that becomes way to easy past the age of 12 i remember having scores of 300-0 and i had yet to catch the snitch. The new game is more challenging in direct comparison.

Its weird that teams are so small and i have doubts with certain mechanics but if you mostly play chaser/seeker i don’t really notice much of that and its quite fun.

The promise of no in game real purchases has been holding true and its much cheaper then other modern games.

Conclusion, it isn’t what i or many people wanted and expected but it is definitely not bad a game (as i was worried) and will definitely go back to it.

I originally wasn’t going to get it unless it was what i expected but then i had one of them super bad days just as i saw it got released and i needed a distraction.

I knew i recognized that output.

Mine is actually also made with the help of Chatgpt but manually refined and tested.

Another example, which i can personally verify has been working fine for months. It works a bit different to the above, it downloads the latests 2* vids that are not already downloaded and runs once every hour with cron. I also attempted to filter out live vids and shorts.

Channels i am “subscribed” too are stored in a single text file, it also uses the avc1 codec because i found p9 and p10 had issues with the jellyfin client on my tv.

looks like this, i added categories but i don’t actually use them in the script besides putting them in a variable, lol. Vid-limit is how many of the latests vids it should look at to download. The original reason i implemented that is so i could selectively download a bulk of latests vids if i wanted to.

Understandable, have a good day.

Firefox is sustained (biggest funder) by google who needs artificial competitions to not be labeled a monopoly.

Its still the best browser i can think off that isn’t chromium but i would recommend staying skeptical.

I might and the answer is for science and curiosity.

There is a lot you can learn from simulations, this is on premise incredibly valuable for researchers and industry. I bet Facebook and twitter have been doing this internally for years.

What i don’t understand is why its marketed as private social media rather then a a cool simulation research tool

Oh no, the execution and information thus far has been horrible. You are alluding to blockchain are you? When i look at the website you post i see absolutely nothing that i even recognize as web3 its all cryptostuff.

I don’t get why everybody is so hell-bend on blockchain based internet (sure its decentralized but come on, we’re creative enough to do better). Its like people don’t get the point of “user owned” and are expecting companies to build a better internet for them without serving their own interests.

No, we are going to need to do this ourselves, self host our own data and services, open source everything.

Lemmy and the fediverse are the closest i have seen to being proto web 3 in spirit and there are also still far from perfect.

I have read the “What is web3” from that site and could not disagree on the definition more. I would not be suprised if both the blockchain cults and this website are part of the propaganda machine that is stopping a free internet from happening.

My web3 is aligned much more with this: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/user-liberation-watch-and-share-our-new-video

I don’t judge people who give in to the oppressor. Life is hard and you have to pick your battles, more important stuff then blocking ads for “normal” people.

For me its largely a disability/accessibility thing. The whole site is not usable.

Its not that i want to die on this hill its that corporate bullshit is measurably detrimental to my health. My hill is the only one i can exist on.

Wow all this bullying is really convincing me to go back to their shitty platform.

If i can’t access my fav creators anymore itl just motivate me to do sm productive, like building web3

If my explanation is to complex you dont need to take my word for it.

Definitely watch this video: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/user-liberation-watch-and-share-our-new-video

The way we the internet want to build the better system is called “web3” if you look this up youl find whole sites and even books written about it (but watch out for crypto scammers framing it)

Pretty much al you appear to be worried about comes from a web2 understanding of the internet.

The fediverse is supposed to be web3 in action. To me its more like a prototype.

I feel like both new cars and phones have been overhyped for a while now.

Ai is simultaneously over and under hyped depending on context.

Idk, if there is one thing it does consistently well its standardized tests.

Not that it can be used in any non mathematical class and if teachers do actually pay attention.

Oh so that is why my eyes burn, i thought it was purely the content.

Actually i have and love my 21:9, but it was a weird journey.

The most common resolution for them is 3440x1440 21:9

At work i use a 2560x1600 16:10

You may see my problem, i was not going to give up those 160 vertical pixels. So i got a 3840x1600 instead…

Which comes down to the same 21:9…

I think the reason its not a problem is cause how rarely your only using a single fullscreen window on such ultrawides.

Majestic for gaming ind… and the gpu caught fire again.
