@volkris@qoto.org @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al there's absolutely more to being decentralized than just using "decentralization techniques". Those techniques just mean it could be decentralized in theory but isn't at all in practice. At least not for now.
It's like saying your service is "decentralized" even though you run and control it all because you use load-balancing with your web servers.
Guessing their sudden desire for peace is very selectively applied. @news@lemmy.world
Yeah no... Voting Trump in the hopes of him being better on Gaza than Harris would have been is absolutely delusional.
Trump played a part in causing October 7th by not involving Palestinians in any discussions and moving the US Embassy to East Jerusalem. The Great march of return riots occurred directly as a consequence of his actions. He has not said anything good when it comes to Gaza and his support for Israel was always unwavering.
This is great, could always use better Android email clients and Thunderbird is quite good on the desktop at least.
For the ecosystem something like Quest 3 that a substantial number of people can actually afford would probably help way more. For feedback they probably do usability testing etc. anyway.
While I do appreciate that Apple threw their hat in the ring and found some of their designs very interesting to look at I am overall fairly puzzled when it comes to the question of what exactly did releasing AVP achieve.
There's no doubt the visual quality is and will be better in many ways but not when it comes to the actual passthrough video which will never be as good as just showing reality directly.
AVP can also still be a mistake because it released now at an insane price point and without that light form factor. Doesn't really help the case that some day it can be light, especially when Apple didn't really even try with this one.
@virtualreality@lemmy.world might be a little early to expect hearing about them... aside from the Xbox one that I thought was just branding for your standard Quest but that one would probably do better if unveiled at an Xbox event.
@MyOpinion@lemm.ee @virtualreality@lemmy.world this seems like a perfect fit for VR so I'm really glad it first became playable with the excellent UEVR and then modded to make the experience much better. Sticking augmentations on your head just feels that much more real when you're in VR. I do wonder if the SS2 VR support they once floated for the enhanced edition is still in the cards...
Haiku is really very different from what Linux used to be, it's single user with one mandatory GUI and lots of fairly interesting features from BeOS. Not saying this to discourage anyone from using it, I quite like it, but Linux is Linux and Haiku is Haiku.
This is great even from the standpoint of wanting to go to Mars since it means setting up camp in a cave is now possible to try out much closer to home first. Kinda like sleeping in a tent in your backyard first. Makes the moon that much more exciting to know there's caves too.
@selfhosted@lemmy.world audiobookshelf is really good and one of the most important selfhosted platforms for me. I use it for both podcasts and audiobooks through my phone's browser and avoid the need for a platform-specific app and proprietary subscription-based services.
@cryptocurrency@lemmy.ml only somewhat indirectly related to cryptocurrency in that it is just part of the broader trend of making it possible to track all monetary transactions but I definitely don't want to see this become a thing.
Besides the privacy implications, I could see it meaning you need to own a non-rooted mobile phone using one of the major operating systems to pay for anything. We already see that kind of thing with other things so going cashless seems like it could easily lead to that becoming universal for all payments. #cashless #cryptocurrency
Are there any significant Discourse forums that federate with ActivityPub currently?
@technology@lemmy.world #gameofthrones #houseofthedragon #hotd
only ones I can think of are some pretty simple Lovecraft-themed games with XCOM-style turn-based tactical gameplay
Things like Freenet or ipfs where your node doesn't provide just networking but also storage.
Could be too obvious to mention here but a fediverse instance of some sort, lots of different software you can run besides the usual suspects like Mastodon or Lemmy/Kbin ranging from the more niche microblog platforms like Misskey forks (writing this on a Sharkey instance) to things like Bookwyrm for tracking your reading habits and connecting with other book lovers.
Distributed computing like distributed.net or Folding at Home.

I guess the only one that I feel strongly about is Echo VR. Although I think it is possible to still play that through 3rd party workarounds? Can't imagine the community is there in the way it was before Meta decided to pull the plug on that one though.
It's can be a useful server with a built-in UPS if there's any services you'd like to isolate from the rest that you're running. One example is backups as you want a backup system to be fairly well isolated but anything sensitive would qualify.
You could also make use of it for purposes where the hardware can speed things up, I think that GPU could help with encoding etc.
