If people want to do something about the itch.io thing, a number of us engineers, artists, and community members are gathering together to plan for and build a real alternative that's genuinely resistant to this kind of censorship in a way centralized platforms with singular payment processor relationships simply can't be
Join us! We need all the help we can get.
I should start jumping everywhere I go instead of fast walking so I can train my acrobatics and agility skill tree. Works for me in videogames so why not 🤷

This UK surveillance thing is a great reminder of why p2p can be helpful.
Though TBH the Mastercard censorship is making me reconsider bitcoin. 😅 Depending on centralized infra puts you at the whims of authoritarians.

Every little website is being pushed onto Facebook thanks to the computer illiterate duckheads in UK Parliament. We'll played MPs, people are much more vulnerable on Facebook you cuckwombles 🤬

open up any program
immediately have to go through a needlessly complicated series of steps to try and disable all of the bullshit
@dan_ballard Maybe both! I was thinking button presses to activate it, followed by finger gesture for mouse control. But it might be more precise to use the touchpad thingie. I need to experiment to really see.

Explicit guidance from my boss that even though persons A and B are best and fastest at doing the task, we're going to use persons A and C and deliver it slower.
This is so that C learns and takes some of the pressure off A and B for later. Person D is queued up to for this later in the year.
We are choosing to deliver software more slowly so we can spread the knowledge out and not burn out two very good engineers. I never thought I'd work in a company like this.
@zagura Saaaame! I love it. It's like everything I'd wanted from tiling window managers.
I caved and ordered an SR08 smart ring. Really want to add air mouse support to it with some custom firmware.

@nasser Yeah can never be too nervous with recovery code :P
native web game shell
@nasser I did something similar with Cordova back in the day. Had automatic rollback and retries since we managed to softlock a few hundred kiosks before we added it :P
@garbados@friend.camp Gotta keep a recorder by your bed. I keep a keychain one so I can record my last words in the event of an accident

We're experimenting with federated geosocial features in Bonfire, free from surveillance capitalism.
Check into your local community garden. Add location to mutual aid requests. Find tools nearby.
Imagine your local fablab or community center sharing check-ins, calendars, events, opening hours - all federated. A living hub for what's happening there.

This unlocks new possibilities for local organizing, let's explore together 🔥
Still get nightmares about the effort I had to put into doing multicast UDP over Android wifi hotspots.
@jimpick.com@bsky.brid.gy Snap! I hope I'm that cool some day. I got some haptic output / EEG input projects on the backlog which might fit the vibe.
@dan_ballard Big same on cyberpunk media inspiring me.
1. Yup, they're a USB-C display that happens to go on your face
2. Usually I set the display scale to 2x to read the text better. Might not need to with the large screen emulation/3dof in the XReal One Pro. I usually only use the display when on the go or on the couch. I have a 39 inch display I use like 70% of the time
3. Linux driver / XR desktop support is not great. I like it more than laptops. Input devices can be tricky on the go
@dan_ballard Yeah feel free to ask any Q's. Consumer HMDs are a major interest of mine
