If the research about it making people reliant and dumber is true, then they can probably do some serious price increases before people actually consider stopping to use them, but of course that would be in the future…
That is when the conspiracies start popping up, because a lot of people agree with you, me included. However, you cannot make parents actually use such systems, so ignoring the obvious control this gives nation states,…
In practically every benchmark the Linux Nvidia drivers notably underperform compared to the windows driver.
Until we reach the point where outside becomes ruined and hostile I do not think a metaverse has much attraction to your average person, I see that as the main reason as for why VR became MR and then just AR. Also you…
The SteamDB player number for VRChat is kind of underselling its size since half the player base is on other platforms, primarily running it standalone on Meta Quest. A few days ago it reached 156k across all platforms…
Going by how little it is spoken on here I assume it is a localized phenomena, but the word of Fluxer.app is spreading among my spaces and it is open source and selfhostable and federation in the future. The official…
If you are worried about that then I can highly recommend https://github.com/alangrainger/immich-public-proxy I keep that running on a VPS, but with with proper firewalling you could probably run it on the same machine.
My google photos doesn't even seem to support facial recognition, maybe I turned it off somehow at some point, but it doesn't seem like google photos supports manually selecting a face (a face that isn't detected),…
Never used Alexa to buy something (not even sure that was supported here) but it not showing you what you are buying, which I feel like it must have on some devices, just sounds like a design mistake, ChatGPT and all…
I guess that doesn't matter in games where the world ultimately doesn't matter, it will be better procedural generation, but personally I adore games where the developers actually put effort into designing a world that…
Because that would likely be confused with compute shaders, which are not accessible in VRChat, we still regularly use geometry shaders, which as far as I know are just terrible compared to the alternatives. The closest…
There are two things holding back mini games and special worlds, inexperience and Udon. The more technically impressive worlds don't just use the VRChat provided object syncing or interactions, they create their own…
So with every prompt you are expected to wait that long? I highly doubt general people will be willing to wait, it also doesn't seem entirely viable if you want to do it locally, less bandwidth and no caching akin to…
The US is simply too polarized, and clearly has been intentionally made so, and it has spread over here, but thankfully not to the same extreme. Of course it is bad for the international community that all nation's…
If you have a developer who can code and isn't just vibe coding blindly, then that is an extra layer of security, sure it isn't amazingly more secure, but anyone that codes has at least some sense to not write in wildly…
It has simply been normalized and for a lot of smaller scale sites, that this was first made for, being a little less professional isn't a problem. But for situations where a company simply won't use Anubis because of…
AI pins lack any well functioning usecase, if any at all in my opinion, phone or smart watch makes more sense. VR and AR headsets on the other hand have several good usecases, they just aren't for everyone. Social VR,…
And those videos were either not watched by anyone human or not truly watched by being part of an endless feed of similar slop.
Not entirely sure what they meant but chatgpt and the likes have forced schools to stop relying on homework for grades and are instead shifting over to assignments done more as an mini exam, more work for the school,…
They don't host anything like that, DERP servers are, aside from Funnel, internal to the tailscale network. But you can proxy traffic using a VPS really easily, which is basically the reverse of exit nodes.
It is the same info, you don't need to be logged in to see it (including comments) and can directly verify that it is someone with control over the domain who controls the account. I think that sounds like a good source.
Reading the article it isn't just that though, privacy problematic as it is, troll accounts spreading misinformation is an issue, especially for elections, and real weird for one of the major parties to admit to…
VRChat is basically those potential idea for a metaverse, excluding the fact that you can't directly share photos (you'd need to use a youtube video). It is certainly not "mainstream", but it is where you find…
It doesn't change your conclusion, but VRChat's Steam numbers are only about 40-50% of the entire population, however 50-60K peak per day is of course not massive, unless you are talking VR. Even during the bussiest day…
As someone enthusiastic about it, VR is unlikely to go fully mainstream, however it will definitely still exist, but AR is a completely different beast. AR glasses could replace your phone, TV and computer monitors. Of…
