Mauve 👁💜 @mauve@mastodon.mauve.moe

Tried to do chameleon mode with my Viture XR pro HMD and my Niri based desktop environment. Each eye gets half of the extra wide monitor so I can size windows to be 25% width and swap between them without too much hassle. Still hard to remember which eye the mouse pointer is one sometimes.

@mcr314 I love stupid cats so much. Zero thoughts, just vibes. May he rest in peace.

Got one of those "puzzle feeders" for my cats. The more chunky one has been hesitant to use it but she's finally come around. I think they're enjoying the added stimulation of trying to pull their food out with their paw.

Apparently me as a blond looks like a hippie vegan that does acid. 🤷

Bleached my hair. How will people know I have pronouns now?!

Fuck companies (in this case microsoft) that want me to install their shitty "passkey" app to log in in the middle of setting something unrelated up. The way these companies are allowed to shit on the concept of user consent makes me sick.

@fleeky @mcc @galactus I'm actually in the process of redoing the UX with @nonlinear to make it more fun to use and more acessible to people less lost in the techie sauce

There's a weird indie animation renaissance going and I love it.

@ragman Yeah! They're such a great device. I tried doing programming on it for like a year before switching to my GPD device. I just keep it in the living room for gaming now 😸 Are you excited about the Steam Frame?

@cwebber High IQ, low wisdom.

@ragman What sorts of stuff do you use it for? I've considered getting something like that for my partners to mess with.

@ragman Hmm honestly I'd be careful with stock linux on the deck since they do a bunch of shenanigans to make the controller inputs work correctly on boot.

I can poke you once I have a blog post out with my setup if you'd like :)

@arichtman GNOME for sure. Though I'm guessing there's a KDE theme somewhere for it already.

@ragman TBH I'm not sure what folks new to the scene are using them for beyond a creative outlet for making a lil gadget that looks cool. 😅 I'm mostly in it for portable computing for programming and information processing. I think a lot of folks use them for playing old games via emulators?

@ragman Currently coding on a premade one from China. https://www.gpd.hk/gpdwin42025 Originally it was made as an alternative to the Steam Deck for gaming but I use it for my programming job.

I'm also in the process of finishing up the software side on my fully wearable setup based on a single board computer and a head mounted display + one handed keyboard. https://www.khadas.com/edge2
