Having a rough one NGL. Gonna attribute it to the phase of the moon.

@lazerwalker Wow! Are there out of the box keyboards with this setup that one could get somehwere? OR is this a "you need to flash custom firmware" situation?

Emajil software has been the bane of my existence since I moved off of the built in client in Windows 7. The new frustration is Betterbird crashing on boot constantly after having crashed intermittently for months now. 🙃

@lucid00.com Yup! I think I need to tinker with it a bit more to see how apps run but so far fdroid is inatalled

Cool I guess I can run Android apps on my computer now 🤷

@metasyn Yeah I was also considering giving that new "loops" thing a go once it's out since it's federated too. 🤔

@metasyn Probably distributed systems or vr tech since that's the bulk of what I ramble about in meatspace :P

Kinda want to record some small rants for tiktok / youtube shorts

ahem.

Capturing the browser's back button/gesture to "wait before you go" a visitor is absolutely hostile and will never result in any volume of positive "conversions" you absolute fuckwads so knock it the hell off.

thank.

@mcc I wish keyboard shortcuts were something configured at the OS level with a registry of common command names instead of each app having to reinvent it 🥲

@technobaboo @trevorflowers "XR glasses" but really it's like a screen on your face since there's no camera for 6dof or controllers and a small FOV. youtube.com/watch?v=bdc9rcrZW8

I use em when walkin around or when I want a large momitor without my usual setup at home.

@trevorflowers The feature where you can dim the scren with a button press is great and works seamlessly. Glad I no longer need my lens cover. The audio doesn't leak too bad so I can watch stuff while my partner watches tv. The remote play for my ps5 needs me to pair a controller so I haven't tried actually gaming yet. There's a bit of lag so I probs wouldn't do any shooters with it but belatro could probably work

@trevorflowers So far I'm loving it. It's way ligher and more comfortable than the Rokid Max. The diopters are great. The audio is a hit meh but usable. The gaze based mouse is great on the neckband. Setting up youtube took a bit of fiddling but it works great. The "ambient" mode where the image is in the corner is great. Fan is way too loud but w/e. Battery isn't great but is usable enough. I installed a thing to do windowed multitasking.

I feel like more businesses should be using VR for demoing stuff and for meetings. It's cheaper to buy and ship a headset than it is to fly somebody over or to pay for office / showroom space.

My came in today. I also spent the extra dough for the neckbamnd Android TV thing. It's comfy to wear, the fan is super loud and the heat dissipation sucks. I haven't gotten to mess with much yet due to work but I plan to install termux and try doing some dev with a bt keyboard.

The question is: what do governments and law enforcements do when they realize every single person has a little agent on their phone that can answer literally *any* question about their activities, in simple human language? The “crypto wars” are going to look quaint.

The temptation to legislate government access to this agent will be enormous. It’ll start with heinous crimes like child sexual abuse or terrorism, and it will appear tightly targeted. But it will be applied at massive scale, to millions of people.

I miss when browsers would cache pages for offline use by default. It's so annoying that I need to wait for site devs to do a bunch of custom behavior with service workers instead of having control of it at the user agent. Sadly Electron doesn't make the caching super easy so it'd be a lot of time investment to add to Aggregore

@harce Do you have a particular server you've got your eye on like Mastodon? It shouldn't be too much work to fork and add an "invite links" feature if there isn't one already. I'd advocate for using the web app instead of dealing with native too.
