@aynish Yeah niri has been great. I just stooped thinking about layouts entirely and scroll left and right. I was kinda put off by tiling managers before because I didn't want to have to think about layouts so much and liked the chaos of having dozens on windows stacked on top of each other.
It's not for the faint of heart tho! You need to set up the xdg desktop portal and stufd yourself. They have guides though
My main win from using wayland natively is that my speech to text with `ydotool` now gets affected by keyboard modifyers. If I want to quit an application I hit my left bumper (mapped to ctrl) on my controller and say `quebec`. If I want to open my terminal I hit R4 and say "tango". Toggling my STT is R4+A (return jkey).
With this I am more effective with stt+controller than my mini bt keyboard. 🥳
Eventually I want to get a screen reader involved to more effectively navigate content.
@il_Lost_ Kinda related though, this group is making a bunch of useful primitives for cyberspace. https://v-sekai.org/
@stardustxr is doing great things for making your baseline OS desktop environment 3d-friendly.
This was a really promising project but it kinda crashed chasing crypto and ai hype. Their baseline for representing virtual projects and social features is super cool though. https://github.com/webaverse
I have some old writings here I need to update: https://blog.mauve.moe/posts/cyberspace-components
@il_Lost_ When I say cyberspace I mean the abstract concept associated with cyberpunk books like Neuromancer, not a specific app or protocol. 😅
I don't think I'd make a good warlord because my strategy is to grow big as fast as possible and crush my foes with might. More nuance and politica is way to frustrating in comparison. Mostly in Civ and Magic The Gathering
Neat, came accross this alternative to the #SteamDeck
Seems to be aimed mostly at retro gamers but it also has a vr mode for some reason. I wonder if it can run linux >:)
C++ Dependencies 💀
BTW for anyone into #VR #XR #AR and #Cyberspace, I have a matrix channel set up where we chat about that stuff and how it overlaps with decentralized systems. https://matrix.to/#/#LoFirCy:mauve.moe
I love that feeling when I change to a new input device and have to start relearning the muscle memory for all of my keyboard shortcuts.
it's funny when I keep hitting the wrong key and accidentally mess up
@technobaboo Oh jeeze. Upstreaming is more of a politics thing than a codebase thing IMO. sadly I don't think I have the clout for that yet. Igalia would be the folks to reach out to for that.

@screaminggoat @mttaggart conversely, as someone who works in cyber insurance, and sees that the amount of data held is one of the biggest drivers of incident costs, I’d *love* to see less personal data being held by companies and moved around.
Been doing a bit better at letting my body rest when sick instead of pushing through but the productivity hit so frustrating. An entire day and then some lost to a cold TT_TT

document.querySelectorAll("html *").forEach(e=>e.style.transform=`translate(${(Math.random()*8)-4}px,${(Math.random()*8)-4}px) rotate(${(Math.random()*2)-1}deg)`)
I'm a major boomer when it comes to using apps but boy do I love digging around system logs and command line tools 🥰🥰🥰
