The three degrees of freedom in 3dof are rotational: pitch, yaw and roll. The 3 that get added in 6dof are positional, forward/back, up/down, left/right

We’ve got phones with that amount of RAM now so it definitely isn’t something just reserved for desktops. I tend to like getting something with plenty resources even if it’s unnecessary at the time because it often means a longer lifespan for the hardware…

They do still make Pi3, they guarantee availability for a decade for each model and there’s still over 3 years to go until Pi 3 hits that.

to be fair I don’t think they like anything besides Google Pixel.

hard to even be sure who its allies are at this point.

Interesting. They seem to be saying the index consists only of European sites as well. If that’s the case I hope we can also do searches within Europe, the Ecosia announcement doesn’t say much about that.

Well, parent poster was talking about Mastodon, you seem to be talking about threadiverse platforms like Lemmy. One thing that applies to both and every single platform that is large enough for that to happen is that you’re always going to lose out on a lot of the content because there is just too much content for one person to look at. It isn’t actually that difficult to subscribe so much that you get past that point in my experience.

For the Mastodon-type fediverse microblogging platforms there’s some things that can help when trying to sift through the more popular stuff more (and less) similarly to how an algorithmic timeline would do it. Boost bots that track what’s trending and tools like Phanpy that allow you to check out what has been boosted the most in your recent timeline. There’s also starter packs (currently a fedidevs third party feature but will be added to Mastodon in the future too) and Sharkey antennas that let you watch for keywords over all the posts that flow through your instance. When it comes to things that aren’t here yet but are being worked on Fediscovery seems very promising.

Maybe some of that stuff should exist for Lemmy etc. too or maybe the “all” feed could be improved.

The current state of VR does still seem to be such that interest is limited. I think the main thing is that using the hardware just needs to get less involved for the masses to bother. If wearing it was like eyeglasses both in terms of weight and what it does to your ability to have awareness of your surroundings you’d probably have many more people interested.

Another piece of the puzzle is certainly the content gap between flat and VR as AAA game devs just don’t see the business case for it still. Things like UEVR and 3D becoming something that is easy to get out of any game or video thanks to AI efforts like Google’s autospatialization could potentially help a lot here. Same with other types of 3D capable hardware like glassless 3D displays and smart glasses becoming so common that 3D becomes more interesting to support again.

This isn’t actually a government doing it. It’s just some VC backed company that went to Davos to announce it.

what in particular do you mean by lack of discoverability?

I think they’re automating the photo validation. The CEO mentioned something about giving back by releasing their facial recognition solution or something in the interview at Davos.

“Oh so you want to have CSAM on the platform?”

Just misrepresenting the position you’re holding in the same way you are doing to others.

Anything any of these people say is beyond worthless.Their position depends on them just parroting what the supreme leader wants.

It’s just how it goes, you only have one administration and people see that as representing your country. Happens with Russia too even though Russians certainly didn’t vote to keep Putin in power for decades so you could just as well say none of them’s to blame but whether reasonable or not people think they should rise up like Ukrainians did in that case…

Nice, having this in KDE would definitely be a great option to have besides the limited number of other ones.

Again, what de Gaulle thought in the 1960 of the initial stages does not tell you what the EU is today at all.

The reason the EU did not enter into a trade war at least so far is that economists would tell you it’s still less harmful to just negotiate them to be as low as can be and let them be on one side, they hurt the USA more than the EU. Also note that the EU is in the process of negotiating Mercosur and resolving their issues with Chinese EVs so part of their response is to try to open up more free trade with other countries. Trump trying to press for European territory with them and not sticking to anything agreed upon may change the calculus in the future though.

Quoting ancient history that shows France was already fairly independent back then and that Germany wasn’t shortly after WW2 isn’t a very good argument.

Spain is calling for building a common defense capability because that is the one area where the EU isn’t as independent as it should be in light of how undependable the USA has become. This has already started to change.

“At all times” probably is the key. In some countries you may have long periods between important elections, unpopular changes are often frontloaded to the beginning of the term so that voters would forget about them by next elections.

Well there’s software that can make it easier. Just an option. For ZFS specifically there’s zfs_autobackup which I’ve got experience with and I haven’t tried this but just found out about a Web UI that works with it: https://github.com/natankeddem/bale

Modern filesystems like ZFS have snapshots and the ability to incrementally copy those around even over the network. I’d suggest considering using those instead of something that operates on top of the filesystem.
