    I think because simpleX is more open source, self-hosted, and maybe slightly more anonymous. Not sure how the usability trades off for that if at all because I haven't used it (I mainly use signal and discord)

    It also doesn't seem to be a mass migration by any means, just that simpleX is a bit better if you are super hardcore about your privacy.

    The end kinda seems like something you'd get by spamming the predicted next word thingy to me

    So possibly llm related, or just the llm precursor.

    Watching the full/raw debate? Absolutely, besides a few random people maybe. Since good clips and headlines about the debate should reach some undecided voters at least

    A bit more context from reading the article

    • the bear was actively going through the trash of a woman's summer house while she was there which is why it was reported

    • the Iceland environmental agency actively decided to not try and relocate it, likely due to how expensive it would be to take back to Greenland

    • the bear is also being studied for potential diseases/parasites, how healthy it was, body fat, etc. which is nice I guess

    Exactly, there's already plenty. I do my best to scroll as fast as possible and not interact, it will be unfortunate if this makes it worse tho

    Little bit of pushback on the vr front: Sure, there aren't many massive publishers driving it forward, but I would wholeheartedly argue that it can very much be a social experience, and offers experiences it is damn near impossible to get anywhere else, and three games immediately come to mind:

    VRchat (obviously): Literally entirely a social game, and has a pretty large community of people making things for it, from character models to worlds because that's what drives the game. There is a massive scene of online parties, raves, hangouts, etc. that bring people together across the whole world in a medium more real than any flat game because of the custom models, worlds, and the relative abundance of people using full body tracking to show off, dance, and interact with each other.

    VTOL VR: This is still fairly social in that you can either play with friends or people online, but the main draw for me is the level of immersion in flying you can get. You have full interactable cockpits that you basically just use your real hands to interact with (depending on your controller/hand tracking) and it's all pretty realistic. It's just impossible to have the same level of experience without VR.

    Walkabout mini golf: I was pretty skeptical of this game when my friends wanted to play it, it's literally just a mini golf sim. The thing is, the ability to play mini golf with friends who live across the country/world is amazing, and the physics of just swinging your controller/hands in the same way as real mini golf is so special.

    It is still quite expensive to get really good gear, and that is definitely the current biggest hurdle. It may forever be a smaller community due to the space/tech/cost requirements to make the experience truly incredible, but for me even just on a quest 2 in my room without a lot of fancy stuff, it is still interesting and something special. A lot of people really do care a lot about VR, and even if it is far less than conventional gaming, it should not be entirely discounted. And I personally think that while is probably won't ever replace flat screen gaming, it is an entirely different kind of experience and has a at least decent future ahead

    As some may have noticed, a fairly large portion of the post on this community are article links posted by bots. I am no moderator and am just a regular user like the rest of you, but I want to know what the community thinks of the posting bots. here is a sample of my opinion to get conversation started: Pros: - lots of content to engage with - people can focus on discussing things not finding thing Cons: - lack of reliable quality of article - lack of diversity of content

    There are rings in the game that give you buffs, often in sets. The Ring of Rock gives +13 armor, the Ring of Stone gives +14 mining damage, and the set bonus gives +49 mining damage. I had seen that there would be a pair earlier, but i finally got the set and acheivement yesterday.

    I heard some stuff a while ago about there eventually being a non-ios theme for voyager, wefwef at the time. Is there an estimated timeline or plan on when that will be available, or perhaps some way for us users to help out with that? I love almost every about voyager besides the theme. I know Apollo was intended to be ios but I see no reason voyager has to be the same

    I am about to go to college for engineering and they require a Windows laptop because of the software we will be using (mostly solidworks I'm pretty sure) doesn't work on other operating systems. I primarily use windows day-to-day for gaming and such anyways so it's not a problem for me but I'm wondering if anyone had experience using solidworks or any other industry-class CAD software like Inventor on linux

    Currently I listen to almost all of my music through YouTube Music, but I want to actually buy some albums from some of my favorite bands (sabaton, gloryhammer, twilight force, etc.). What form do they usually come in, and how do y'all listen to and manage them on either desktop or mobile?
