@rio Maybe. It's pretty good for a lot of things, not so much for others.

@kaia Yup...

@Polychrome @overte Yeah, they explained it to me, but I didn't quite grasp the story behind it. I just think that it's a solid base for something that could be on a similar success trajectory like the Godot Engine, which is also a former commercial project.

Guys, I can't believe it, open source VRChat is here. It's called @overte and it's actually fast. It supports hundreds of people in a single instance and the editor is actually built into the game. You can hang out with your friends and make worlds together. This is INSANE.

The are working on support for Vulkan to make it even faster. Also VRM models so you can have anime girls, of course.

@kaia You like her being unfriendly?

@kaia I still want to buy an Index before it goes out of production. I don't mind being a little outdated. (Says the guy still rocking an Oculus Rift CV1)

Only problem is: If I get one, my wife will be mad. So I'm going to need two of them. 😩

@kaia When I married my wife, it was 150€ for the marriage office and another 150€ or so for the restaurant. My suit jacket was 3€ from a second hand shop. It was still brand new!

Is it possible to have your computer boot a different operating system based on the time of day? I would like to boot Windows in the morning (because of work) and Linux at all other times. That would be so convienient.

@kaia There is honestly nothing good at the moment. You can use Matrix, but good luck with calls. There is also Mattermost, which you can selfhost but I don't think it's really open source. Oh and Nextcloud has something like that integrated, but it seems pretty limited.

Let's just make @bsky.brid.gy opt-out please. I have now had a situation where a person I want to follow has stopped posting on their Fedi account and moved on to Bluesky. This is ridiculous.

Stop flocking to #Bluesky everyone. It's just as much of a walled garden as #Twitter

@kaia Federal Reinstated Economy Dollars.

@solidsanek Oh, I know what you mean. I also think a "Uninstall, but keep user data" feature would be useful.

@solidsanek It's so funny that they keep adding features to remove/hide/undisplay unwanted apps just to avoid allowing people to actually uninstall them.

There are so many projects I forgot to include in this graphic! There are also @Blender, @Kodi, @gotosocial and @godotengine only to name a few. Although I haven't checked if all of them accept donations. Maybe I'll make an updated version of the graphic soon.

Hey @dansup, I just had to record my screen in order to share a video I saw on @loops with a friend. You're probably drowning in work, but sharing posts via URL is important for growth IMO.

I started regularly donating about a year ago. I am now supporting 8 different projects with 20,77€ per month, and it didn't hurt at all.

Why pay for something free? Because free software only exists because other people already paid for it. Someone has to do it. It's time to do your part!

If you can afford a subscription service, then you probably can afford a little donation, too. Start with 0.1% of your income.

This month, I'm doing No YouTube November. I waste way too much time on that site.

@solidsanek So it isn't actually glowing green, like media and pop culture has taught us for decades?

My work laptop has two sets of mouse buttons. So you can trigger "mouse down" twice and then "mouse up" twice. I wonder if there is any programs or games I could crash with this. :drgn_3c:
