Back on the grind. So many emails and messages to get through before I can even get to coding or writing.

The good news is that I have finally remapped my button layout on my GPD WIN 4 to something more useful!

Now I just need to rebuild my muscle memory when using it :P

Truly I live in a hell of my own invention for not using an off the shelf desktop environment.

It seems logging into a tty and spawning a weird window manager (niri) means I can't run XR software which seems to require a command that only works from a session that got started by x11. 😵😵😵

How the heck do I set a monitor as "non desktop" in wayland?

I love open source software and being able to fix stuff and recompile 😭💜

Linux is fun because I need to do a bunch of incantations to figure out why my mirrors throw 404s when trying to install gdb.

@skryking I think here in Ontario it'dd be best described as "muggy with a chance of rain". 😅 Probably good duck feeding weather though

i will say though it's more fun than outdoors these days since it's so hot and mosquito covered and everything costs money to do. 😅

@brandon Been playing it more today and I feel like one could get a good 30 hours out of the game at least. I just got a frigate and a colony to manage so combined with the main quest it's just about enough to keep my attention :P

@nasser I think it'd be great for folks thatenjoy doing the same thing over and over again though. I thibk the base building for yhe sake of base building aspect is probably also fun for folks?

No man's sky is a really pretty game but the gameplay is so bland and samey to me. I feel like I need more novel stimulus in ideas than "go to planet and do the exact same thing as any other planet"

@technobaboo Oh no the stardust part was a small part of it. I spent more time trying to figure out this monado rokid driver 😅 I think I need to bite the bullet and get a lighthouse based steamvr setup

It's my fault for not sticking to whatever the most popular version of everything is.

Open source VR and open source LLMs are things I enjoy tinkering with but are also things that are a massive pain in the ass to get running reliably. Blew another few hours down the drain trying to get some VR shit to work today with no success. 😭

Sometimes I read SciFi stories with horrible dystopias and think "this seems less stressful than reality"
