@heanihilator I somehow managed to break the config already, but yes the mouse mode in your driver is perfect.

@heanihilator My use case is primarily for desktop navigation but I think the your mouse mode in your driver would be enough for that. I've been meaning to try your mouse mode with my rokid max or viture pro at some point, but the demos you have up seem promising.

@heanihilator Yes exactly. I might have the actual screen be my HMD or just the device's built in screen.

The device in question BTW: gpdstore.net/product/gpd-win-4

Hot tip for web devs: Make sure any popup / dialog boxes you have include overflow rules for really small screens. Brought to you by the Github pull request submit button rendering offscreen. 😅

@heanihilator I'm hoping I can activate the gyro mouse and "aim" my controller to move the mouse around kind of like gyro aiming in games.
- When activated get the vector the device is pointing (from the top of the device)
- Rotating along this axis moves the cursor along X
- Rotating perpendicular to it (right side of the device) moves along Y

I could mock something up on a web app if that'd be easier. My main issue is getting the gyro drivers and linux cursor bits.

@heanihilator Would you be open to me commissioning you to add another 3dof input device to your XRLinuxDriver library?

I'd like to get the gryoscope from the GPD WIN 4 in there if you're up for it.

Feels nice to get some time to measure performance and stress test some dependencies.

@OWASP_Ottawa Where can I submit talk proposals? I just did a talk at ForwardJS on Web cryptography and want to adapt it for your group too.

I’ve just seen someone describe Windows 11 as a “sloperating system”.

@brandon You're not gonna like it but I like to mess with rust when I want a break from JS 😝 Also been playing with UIUA a bit. Honestly I should do some assembly and mess with a microcontroller or something. It's just hard to find the energy to touch conputers outside of work. 🥲

@tychi Neat, do you have code I could read that demostrates this?

Wild being recognized in meatspace for the work I do online 😱

@tychi yessss. It's so convenient! I use it all the time.

The spread operator is my favorite JavaScript feature. Followed by async await and for of loops. Life is just so much easier now than coding in ES5.

Hey, Anthropic owes me $9000! They illegally used at least 3 of my books on LibGen to create Claude. Now they're paying a $1.5 billion settlement, at $3000 per book. See if *your* books are on the list:

anthropiccopyrightsettlement.c

If so, you have until March 23, 2026 to file a claim. The above website lets you file a claim, but this one explains everything more clearly:

authorsguild.org/advocacy/arti

Actually I exaggerated: the payment will be split between authors and publishers, but I have to make the claim - so the settlement is making me do some work my publisher should be doing for me. My coauthors and I will just get half, $4500. One of these books has 2 coauthors, one has 3, and one is a book I edited, with essays by lots of authors. So $1000 is a more realistic estimate of what I get. Oh well.

Bizarrely, my most popular book, Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity, is not on the list. But I guess it's not surprising:

"The settlement agreement discloses that approximately 500,000 titles out of the 7 million copies of books that Anthropic reportedly downloaded from LibGen and PiLiMi meet the definition required to be part of the class."

Only books whose copyright is registered with the US Library of Congress meet that defiinition!

If you have a book on the list, you can opt out of the current settlement and join future lawsuits. But you have to take action to do that!!! For more information on that, see item 40 here:
