It's all the other shitcoins that are mined on GPUs.

Some support for WMR headsets is available in https://github.com/OpenHMD/OpenHMD but without 6DoF / inside-out controller tracking so far.

It's mostly just a shitty version of VRChat with people you don't like.

Yeah, sure, definitely FreeCAD. OpenCASCADE failing to make fillets, blocking the main thread with long operations and crashing the entire application is exactly what I always wanted to see in VR!

It's not necessarily impoverishing and depressing. It can be, especially if enforced from outside, but many people find satisfaction in minimalism and frugality.

Exactly… the projection that datacenters' demand for computing power won't be offset by silicon efficiency improvements is somewhat speculative; the projection that Bitcoin's demand for computing power won't be offset

This HDR obsession makes me want to abandon color entirely and switch to E-Ink.

Even worse: Bitcoin alone uses as much as the datacenter sector as a whole , not just Google.

rebase.autostash=true is also a thing, but the "working copy as commit" concept does look more interesting.

No, you won't see corruption on ZFS. Cutting power to the drive is always safe, you can slice a SATA cable with a guillotine if you want, you'll always see a consistent state of the filesystem. ZFS transactions are entirely atomic

I use it exclusively, don't remember the last time I looked for the title bar.

How about desktops that don't have anywhere to put status icons? i.e. what if I don't want to have any panels? Working as a normal window should be an option in all applications.

A dedicated tray is a concept tied to windows 95 style UX. I hope the new designs are more about standardizing ways to indicate various statuses and actions of "the app" broadly, without dedicated status icons. For example downloa

On the other hand (ha) it does not require any aiming. I can super+drag windows into "aero snap" targets in milliseconds because I don't have to spend any time on finding the header bar.

No one can deny you anything with FOSS. Go ahead, edit everything, just please don't complain to the developers that something broke because of that.

For mouse too, actually. I grew up with scroll wheel mice so I literally never had a reason to use a scrollbar to scroll.

GTK4 is supposed to "just" build with meson on Windows – yes, just with MSVC, not requiring any of the GNU toolchain type things: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2021/04/29/bui

heh, but with Apple "X" is not the letter "X" but the roman numeral ten. (Which is why you should pronounce Xcode as "ten-code" :D)

Because CompactFlash is one of the most overpriced things in the universe I guess? I bought a couple for retro (IDE/PATA) laptops and paid ridiculous prices for just 32/64 GiB >_<

I love the idea of tinkering with iPods, but I'm really, really not going to actually carry a dedicated music player device. Going back from modern convenience to retro inconvenience just isn't practical to me.

Can't say I've seen that often , but there was a short period of time when Twitch refused to play on a FreeBSD user-agent. Spoofing as Linux or Windows worked. They did fix it.

150 dpi definitely feels sufficient to me. And honestly I prefer grayscale even on 90 dpi monitors sometimes.

This is amazing news! I've been wanting this since the Nexus 5X where I built a kernel with KVM and was disappointed to see the "kvm failed to become hypervisor" message in dmesg.

Template Haskell and Rust proc macros aren't similar to pervasive CTFE. TH/procmacros just give you lexical tokens, you then parse them (typically adding a monstrous dependency on haskell-src-exts/syn) and emit AST. The way D

I don't have that much experience (don't really have many use cases for FPGAs personally tbh) but: Icestorm is for iCE40, Trellis is for ECP5 (which comes in variants up to 85k LUTs); the flow is simple enough to do manually but t
