Ok I found this post like a week late, but TikTok bought a VR company called Pico several years ago and they were investing money into new software and headsets, but recently cancelled all of their planned games. They are still making a new headset, but they also seemed to cancel their entry into the US market. They also had a ton of layoffs last year.

So basically, I think they’ve lost interest in VR.

Depends on your definition of gen z, and the oldest of gen alpha has barely started getting into highschool. As a zoomer though we are on our way out.

I just listen to playlists that people make or youtube videos of song genres or artists that I like.

It seems to work fine on my browser. What adblock are you using?

novelupdates.com is a site where translators post their translations.

My shell seems to autocomplete filenames that have spaces with "\ " already.

I’m pretty sure MKDEV, who is one person, quit cracking earlier this year.

Use soulseek instead. Nicotine+ is a pretty good soulseek client.

If vpns are blocked on the network you are on, tor usually has a way to work.

Denuvo these days is ridiculously hard to crack, the only people good enough usually would rather get a job at Denuvo because its so hard you have to be insane to do it for free. There was also some guy doing denuvo cracks for only football manager games but they retired like 3 months ago.

I’ve never seen that before, but I have discord rich presence turned off.

I feel its the reverse, most people I know on discord mute most of the discord servers they are in. I put most of the discord servers I’m in into folders so that its easier to find the people I actually talk to and ignore all of the ones I joined for asking questions or downloading files.

I don’t think they would block your account, I think they would just block all youtube downloading methods at some point. I use mpv with yt-dlp to watch youtube and it sometimes breaks. I don’t think a vpn would help in any way.

You don’t actually get banned, they just don’t let you watch youtube videos until you turn off your adblocker. You can even sign out and never see the ad block blocks because its tied to your account only.

I’m pretty sure wacom drivers are just in the linux kernel, and also my XP pen tablet worked out of the box also. I haven’t noticed any weird problems.

Yeah that is real impressive, I thought we would be years away from the realistic meta avatars becoming usable on actual hardware. I don’t really understand what’s so metaversey about this though, Apple showed off the same concept with no ties to the idea of metaverses.

EDIT: I watched a bit more and hearing Mark’s ideas of the metaverse he wants honestly sounds very similar to the plans and sdk’s for the Apple Vision Pro. I don’t know if this is truly what the future will be, but it seems exciting.

I’m pretty sure they Epic bought Bandcamp for their battle with Apple and then did literally nothing with it.

Idk, there’s a wide range of text related tasks. Some of those tasks, I would say emacs is very good at (like programming or taking notes), and others are good enough (like email and file management). The reason that I would want to use it for the worse tasks is that the text editing tools between the tasks are all the same and its all programmable.

Its all personal preference though.

The new demo for what? I have no idea what you are talking about. I’d like to think I know a bit about metaverses as a VR enthusiast.

Most rhythm games are better on keyboard except for project diva which is way better on controller. I think osu! is the least controller friendly rhythm game and osu!mania style rhythm games are probably impossible on controller if it needs more than 6 keys (unless the charts are designed for controller and don’t require hitting every button at once).

Project diva feels really bad to play on keyboard for some reason. I think its because its only recently been playable on pc and I’m used to controller. It just feels better on thumbs.
