Apple is probably releasing their VR/AR product this year, which means they're probably going to patent a *bunch* of stuff which is wildly obvious but just coincidentally has never been shipped before. So it's occurring to me it is a good idea to start publicly documenting various "hey, you know what would be a good idea to do in VR" ideas, so we can point to it as prior art when the lawsuit happens.
Some things I've been thinking about for years:
K, backed up my home folder on my external drive. Time to attempt an fresh OS install and copy back the application data. 🤞

Thinking more people are going to engage with you on mainstream social media “because everyone’s there” is like thinking people at a stadium concert are there to listen to you. It‘s only true if you’re one of the ones on stage. Not so much when you’re huddled in the nosebleeds.
Forget the numbers. Forget about “going viral” (leave it to the psychopaths in Silicon Valley to make virus-like behaviour aspirational). Embrace the joy of interacting with one another on a human scale.

We ended up teleporting into the center of it and exploding it from the inside 🥰

Excited by the progress of our #MetaTraversal collab, streaming together today as we jumped across portals on the open 3D web (WebXR) in a mix of VR, mobile AR & XR devices with desktop & mobile for testing.
Today's varied portal jumps had us leap from Hyperfy, JanusWeb, Hubs, FrameVR.io, VRLand.io, Croquet, Ethereal Engine, ImmersSpace and a networked A-Frame space -- many already network through portals to your other 2D & 3D worlds.
The open (source) metaverse is here & it's on the 3D web
K, I'm gonna finally bite the bullet and try out a new linux distro. This time I'm thinking of doing a full 180 from Pop OS and going with Monjaro with KDE Plasma.
Hopefully it won't be too much of a pain in the ass to set up all my tooling and shortcuts again.
moderation concerns
I wish Matrix "ignores" were double sided so the people I ignore don't see my posts either. Some channels just have generally toxic or dangerous people in there and it'd be nice to have tools to avoid them.

A class-action lawsuit filed against GitHub Copilot, its parent company Microsoft, and OpenAI claims open-source software piracy and violations of open-source licenses. Specifically, the lawsuit states that code generated by Copilot does not include any attribution to the original author of the code, copyright notices, or a copy of the license, which most open-source licenses require. Ownership of AI-Generated Code Hotly Disputed https://spectrum.ieee.org/ai-code-generation-ownership what do you think?
Programming user interfaces is so much more complicated than "backend" work.
Understanding the bulk of most p2p or server systems has been pretty easy compared to complex graphical applications with stuff like UI animations or dynamic layout systems.
This visual programming thing is neat. It's called "unit" and it's the slickest version of the concept I've seen so far.
Mobile support isn't amazing, but it's better than others.
Heres a video going over some features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwknTfGVDq8
Here's the source repo: https://github.com/samuelmtimbo/unit
Gonna dig in a more to see if I can mix the #p2p web stuff I've been into into the mix.
Found a list with a bunch of these things. Gonna go through and check them out. https://github.com/wbkd/awesome-node-based-uis
The coolest looking and least understandable one is https://ioun.it/ so far. :P
For some reason they decided to use their own software defined keyboard instead of allowing the Android keyboard to pop up.
Just tried a bunch of the web based ones. They didn't work well at all on my phone or tablet.
🤷 All of them are assuming mouse and keyboard support. (or are just super out of date and broken or unfinished)

The Grand Canyon is my favourite public static void.
Anyone know of programming environments geared towards visually assembling logic on a touchscreen?
Kinda like scratch or one of those flow hased editors they have in game engines?
Finally, I can doomscroll again. 🥰
Hello world! I'm back from migrating my Mastodon server to new (and hopefully cheaper) infra. 🤪

pretty much all my politics stem from "if you will die without it, it should be free and easy to get" and you'll be astounded how "radical" that makes you in the face of today's society
