About as often as they actually release anything

I wouldn’t get too excited. Supposedly the next headset is internally called Deckard, and it’s been “about to release” for like 3 years now? Pretty much everything people think they know about it is conjecture based off code Valve has tucked away in SteamVR; zero public statements of intent.

As for VR on Linux… kinda? I’ve only read terrible things about it online. I have an Index and tried to use it with Mint a few months back, and while it mostly worked without any configuration issues, there was a weird white ring around the edge of the screen that I couldn’t figure out.

They literally already tried and failed with the phoneification of windows when everyone shat on 8. I guess some ahole UI designer still works there and is bitter that people didn’t like their ideas.

Just 3 days ago I had to use the control panel to access the settings I needed to get my parents’ printer to work right. Even tried to use the regular settings menu for maybe 10 minutes before remembering how to access the settings I needed. Here’s hoping my parents never run into printer issues again (lol).

FUCK YOU, MICROSOFT!

Just as dumb? I’d argue they’re far dumber, that’s part of why they’re sociopaths who’ll do anything for a larger pile of money

Used to be if I found the site of a newspaper I thought I liked, I’d turn off my ad blocker to see how it goes.

I don’t even try any more. Again and again and again, every time I turn it off the page gets so cluttered that following the article becomes a chore and takes up so many resources that even scrolling slows to a crawl. Ludicrous nonsense.

I like that part of firefox’s summary was that it’s free. Uh, yeah, they all are. Thanks Mozilla!

But Twin Galaxies’ own lawyer, David Tashroudian, faced misconduct claims of his own after he improperly contacted two witnesses in the case — prompting Superior Court Judge Wendy Chang, who’s overseeing the case, to consider referring him to the State Bar for discipline.

I’m no lawyer, but this seems like small potatoes in comparison to Mitchell’s actively fabricating evidence and lying under oath. Absolutely shameful that after years of litigation TG’s case falls apart thanks to an idiot lawyer. Hope that lawyer gets paid nothing and Jobst’s lawsuit goes better; Mitchell needs to see real consequences for the years of intimidation and lies.

if they’re anything like cable ads, they actually make the ads louder than the regular programming on purpose to try to make sure you hear it if you tune out or just walk away. no relaxed, unfocused watching for you!

Even those “notables” still show up on the fediverse tracker, so they shouldn’t be going uncounted.

For what it’s worth, here’s an account that reposts everything NASA puts out: https://social.beachcom.org/@nasa

wouldn’t an untradeable share just be worthless? give employees stock options

I want to switch to gaming on linux so bad. Just a few weeks ago I ran into a sudden issue where any source game I launched in windows would crash my graphics driver, totally unrecoverable without restarting the PC (even shift+ctrl+win+b did nothing) and on some restarts I found myself being forced to boot on integrated graphics and fully reinstall drivers. Total shitshow, started while I was midgame and came out of nowhere, couldn’t figure anything out.

I finally gave up and installed mint, got steam set up and downloading, started moving over some my backed up files… only to find out that a thing I’d ordered to make my VR headset wireless wasn’t going to have Linux drivers. I was gonna have to dual boot windows at the very least. And I’ve had other experiences where Windows updates have broken Grub and forced me to do reinstalls as well, so…

The day can’t come fast enough where companies just build stuff for Linux. The Windows UI gets worse with every release, and it’s really not as bug-free as people seem to think, it just has market share and companies tend to build for it by default. Completely self-fulfilling prophecy.

lemmy has like 100k users, maybe less if we go by users within the last month. definitely way way more than before the api debacle but nowhere near millions
