When life gets tough, the tough get shitposting.

Wearing my wizard robe with my spells strapped to my face (my deck). Casting evil spells (activitypub implementation) and imbibing wicked elixers (energy drinks).

Gotta wizard max to focus through this cold and meet my deadlines

@aynish Do let me know if you find a good setup! :O

@aynish I think any usbc to hdmi splitter with power input should work but they also sell their own here: https://www.xreal.com/shop/xreal-adapter.html

personally I prefer devices with native usb c video output since I don't like having to pack and unpack more cables :P

@aynish nice yeah the xreal is probs a better bet if you're not a glasses-wearer.

you might need an adapter that does power in in order to use the micro hdmi with them though.

@aynish @stardustxr Yeah I don't think the pinephone is yet a good enough substitiute for an Android phone, but I'm hoping it'll work well as an ARM Linux compute puck which I can use to drive my VR desktop on the go. Having access to data seems particularly useful since I won't need a hotspot.

@aynish Yeah... hence why I've been looking at the pinephone. Also why I paid a person to make drivers for #Monado #OpenXR for the rokid so thay I can use @stardustxr as my desktop window manager

My house's cat is having lil shivers in her sleep and I'm giving her more comfort to sweeten her dreams.

Very thankful to get to hang with such sweet creatures.

@aynish Rokid also sells a thing called the "Rokid Station" which is a sort of Android TV in a controller form factor which might also be appealing. It's kinda like a phone without a screen and just a controller built in. But yeah anything with usb-c video output should work, or hdmi if you get the adaptor.

@aynish It's pretty easy with the rokid and a samsung dex + a bt keyboard. I'm hoping a pinephone pro will also work well. Thogh right now I'm mostly using it with my steam deck. Actually that's what I'm doing right now! :P Easier to have the cat cuddle up by my legs this way.

@Nulo I guess when I say "the web" I mean http+html from "web browsers". So stuff outside of that could either be called "not the web" or "new web" depending on framing 🤷

@thisismissem Neat, what do you find better about it? I personally haven't had any issues with nvm accross all the environments I used it in.

Heads up to any #NodeJS and #JavaScript developers out there: If you aren't already you should be using the Node Version Manager utility since a lot of projects need either an older or newer version of node and you'll have a bad time if you only use the system installed version.

`nvm use 16` saved me hours of debugging why Splunk's build tools weren't working recently :P

A thing that I had a lot of my hopes riding on got cancelled yesterday and my mental house of cards is toppling. I've got so much on my plate for the next few weeks and it's gonna be rough.

Thankfully I am powerful and resilient and will get through it.

Maybe instead of "a new web browser" I should be making "a new app" which fulfills some of my fave bits of the web.

E.g. structured content, small interactive apps, cross platform.

Probably my fourth time playing through jazzpunk and it just doesn't get old.

I think it's only just clicking for me that the death of the web is upon us. Instead of "googling" for stuff folks are searching on tiktok, instead of indexable forums there's closed discord communities. In fact apps and services are becoming locked within proprietary apps like discord. Paired with "ai" language models creating infinite web spam the whole thing is becoming less useful for the average person.
