vr enjoyer and occasional gamedev living in ohio, usa who uses arch btw
Huh. Yeah I’m not getting them either, and after looking into my other feeds that do have images it looks like those are either video preview images or links to articles, so I guess it doesn’t support native reddit image uploads maybe?
I’m not real sure what the issue is but I can confirm that’s the same URL format that I use. I use Feeder on Android if that helps
I moved the Reddit content I wanted into an RSS feed by putting the subreddit URL followed by /.rss into the feed URL and it works
I think a boost is referring to the Mastodon kind, so basically a retweet
Wouldn’t be a proper week without a leak on a War Thunder forum
Video game assets/customizing :) I used VRChat as an excuse to design a persona (in my pfp) and I made a game prototype to pay homage to my first car. I wanna do way more stuff but I’m still learning
December of 2022. I was moving away from closed-source social media, and after Twitter -> Mastodon, Reddit was next. I didn’t become active til the whole API thing tho, because Lemmy didn’t have some communities that I liked. So I made one lol
The Nissan Leaf seems to be the only one worth being concerned about. Don’t quote me on this but I remember reading the old ones (like 2011ish to around 2016-17) had poor airflow to cool the battery so they lost capacity quicker
oh yea. wtf have i been thinking ive just been blocking the instances lmao
Lemmit.online clogs my feed really bad. I wish there was an (open-source) way to block the whole instance
Might be a controversial take, but I’m concerned about people letting themselves shape sweeping, negative views on things that are (keyword: relatively) minor or just don’t fully know the story behind. For example, EA was voted “Worst Company in America” multiple years in a row, when it’s really just a software company whose worst sins would probably amount to gross overworking/general poor treatment of their employees. That’s bad, but I feel like it’s pretty inarguably better than chocolate companies who use child labor to harvest cocoa beans.
It’s especially concerning when it extends to global/political issues (this is why I said this might be controversial). We don’t tend to realize that we share much more in common with people in other countries than we realize, probably helped by the fact that most news sites tend to leave out details or exaggerate bad parts when talking about governments other than their own (a notorious example is the reporting on North Korea . Here’s a good vid about it (CW: very graphic) Not saying it’s a wonderful place to live, just that it’s exaggerated.) Part of the reason political conversations feel so toxic is because so many of us just don’t know a lot of what’s going on or what each other is talking about, so we’re rarely on the same page. Reading a quick Wikipedia summary and/or article can go a long way
I don’t think it’s just Musk, there was a lot of pushback towards the moon landings in the 1960s-70s as well. People then felt that funds used in these programs would have been better spent on stuff like social programs and improving infrastructure, criticisms that fit pretty well today too. But we could probably have been to mars and back twice if NASA had like even a quarter of the military’s budget too 💀
If it makes you feel any better, they spy on you too!
musk is really kinda doing the ADL’s job for them lmao
It seems simple enough, but what constitues “authoritarian” or even “communist” always changes from person-to-person
Idk about the porn, but for the tankie thing, it’s probably because it’s just a political insult that doesn’t have any real meaning like “libshit”, “demonrat”, etc so enforcement is very subjective
I’m also not on dbzer0 so take my comment with a grain of salt
Programming is really not as hard as it looks to start, just don’t start with C++ for the love of god lmao
There’s a lot of projects working to make VR on Linux a reality, although SteamVR technically works on linux it’s really only if you have a Vive/Index or third-party drivers. That, and SteamVR on Linux is a buggy mess anyway lol. I’m definitely not an expert in any of this though, I’m only just now going into college to pursue this stuff further lmao. Here’s some projects I’ve been following if you wanna look further:
There’s tons more but I can’t think of all of them lmao, but there’s definitely cool stuff going on in the space and worth checking out.
Open-source virtual reality, usually just any VR works too lmao but especially FOSS VR
For now
