You can also do it even if you only play on a PC, it doesn’t require a headset, but it’s a great way to feel like you’re actually talking to another human being.

Tried doing some language exchange on the ENG-JP VR Chat world earlier this week, and was faced with the stark reality that I need to drill grammar and basic conversational sentences more first. Day 453 of daily Anki vocab study.

For me it’s the opposite: I’m always shocked when broadly different people end up aligning on certain similar traits along multiple axes. Like conlanging and Linux or trans girls and communism.

We’re just asking people to be COVID-safe to the best of their judgement.

Aha! An answer. Thank you!

Running this on Fedora, and when I try to log into my account I get the following error:

I think Memento is open source. It’s good for subtitles->Anki cards.

Some of the best advancements in Canadian social programs have been spearheaded by the NDP, pulling the Liberals to the left. The NDP have, on more than one occasion, held the balance of power and used it to support Liberal minority governments. Pulling support away from Carney in a leftist direction is in no way equivalent to what happened in the most recent American election. We don’t live in a two party system, and I’d very much like to see it kept that way lest we become more like the Americans in yet another way.

Finally some leftist critique of what’s been going on with the Liberal party lately. I feel like everyone got so swept up in the fervour of “oh my god, the Conservatives might not win a landslide this election, this is a miracle!” that they forgot that electing someone further to the right of Trudeau in an already centrist party is no win for leftists.

My devices are named after planets from Doctor Who: mondas, telos, skaro, villengard.

There’s always great shows happening at Red Gate Arts Society.

May be a group of bugs, I’m still struggling with it on my 6700 XT.

Got excited thinking they had finally fixed the rendering bug that causes the UI to slow to a crawl on desktop GPUs on Linux, but no.

What a coincidence, I was just at a Megalopolis watch party last night haha. There were like two dozen of us hatewatching it. True kino.

Damn, this thread is the most “no one hates Doctor Who more than Doctor Who fans” type beat I’ve seen in ages. God forbid our favourite television show get another season.

God yeah, what a frustrating sentiment to see. Very common among people who won’t give the fediverse any modicum of good faith engagement. “This is different from what people are used to and is therefore bad” instead of understanding that maybe there’s a reason it’s built that way.

I always like to say the fruits of FOSS labour are the common heritage of mankind. It belongs to all of us as a public good, created and maintained by selfless workers. (Nevermind the fact that most FOSS projects are based out of Europe anyways).

My shortlist is probably WipEout Pulse (I love how that entire series feels like a game made out of electronic music, the same way Doom is made out of metal), WipEout 2048 (for the same reason, but I played it even more), Forza Motorsport 2 (cuz it had a huge influence on my taste at a very young age), and then maybe Gran Turismo 5?

Being able to run the editor on VR headsets while doing development is a crazy gamechanger for those platforms. If you pair a keyboard and mouse it really does turn it into a real computing platform that lets you develop new apps on device.
