So the acronym #XR is just #VR, #AR, and other-R tech - the X has no meaning, it's just a placeholder. (In the OpenXR logo, the X is literally made up of an A and V shape). But, some folks call it "Extended Reality" which I have trouble aceepting: it feels like a backronym, really awkward. The beauty of XR was that it was an umbrella term over the other existing "reality" terms. But if I'm gonna lose the "X in XR has no specific meaning" debate... 😉

🔥 Hot take: XR stands for "trans reality" 🔥

a friend is nearly in tears because changing their KDE font to opendyslexic also changed the font ePubs render in in okular, meaning they can actually read their assignments.

this is why apps respecting your preferences is important, and it's why libre software (and KDE in particular) is so awesome.

If I were designing a fediverse-with-accounts-delinked-from-instances, and if you've been watching this account long enough then you know I have, I would have at least as a fallback supported addressing an account by a hash of its signing keys or something. Does Bluesky have such a fallback? Will it? Does it have a way of detecting that the https signing key for a domain has suddenly changed? Will it?

🔊We’re thrilled to release Distributed Press v1! 🔊

We introduce two major features that radically simplifies the process of publishing to the decentralized web (dweb)—for now, that means two prominent dweb protocols, IPFS and Holepunch (formerly Hypercore).
