In other words, history will be kinder than the assholes who think they're writing the first draft of it.
in reply to Jeff Jarvis

I think history might be harsher. Depending of how this pans out, his legacy will be comparable to Von Hindenburg. Nobody cares what he did in detail and if he had some successes, if his actions enabled the rise of a dictator afterwards.

He didn't fulfill his promises. He didn't fight billionaires, didn't fight for voting rights or a fair supreme court. He backed down on fricking child support. And then he smilingly shook hands with Trump (after calling him a danger to democracy).

Jeff Bezos's WaPo editorial board ain't aware they're unpopular now, especially after censoring a cartoonist, who graphically impaled Bezos for obediently licking the First Felon's boots.

Guinguette is the new ZAD : une occup’ contre la LGV Bordeaux-Toulouse


A quelques minutes du centre-ville de Saint-Jory, avec accès à pied aux lignes de TGV et de son chantier, La Guinguette Vaillante (LGV) se construit dans une enclave de végétation où la faune et la flore de la Haute-Garonne poussent gaiement et chantent en cœur. Ce lieu est une opposition effective au projet de Ligne à Grande Vitesse Bordeaux-Dax-Toulouse et est le résultat d’un refus du système, de la bétonisation, de l’obéissance, et des oppressions.

Okay, I said there is this #bookreview that is so wholesome it feels like a sacrilege to use it for marketing. But @KurtHohmann who wrote it told me to be as profane as I like if it just encourages me to write a sequel. So, there. This is what he said about #HeraldPetrel and here is the link to all the bookstores that hold it: books2read.com/HeraldPetrel

I agree with all of this. The book is that good. Nothing in the review is an exaggeration. (A sequel is required for the mental health of all its readers.)

@joewynne Thank you so much! Then I guess I have to do something for your mental health... 🤔

Yay my spare heat plates for the #opensource C0pperdragon hotplate have arrived from JLCPCB and are working well.


I plugged a USB key into the Internet Box, formatted it, set up an FTP, and now I can send/receive stuff from all the machines with just a terminal/command line.

I love this old fashion method! :0)
And I save miles and time. :0))

This internet provider's box offers many possibilities. Like launching VMs under Linux, or a VPN server/Client, etc..

I like the idea. I'll think about it, dig into it, and I'll tell you about it in a few days. :0)

so... this is news to me, because I don't have a VR set, but I can set my XR glasses into SBS (side by side) mode and can watch some YT videos in 3D like that if the aspect ratio and order fits. Otherwise I have to download them first, which is a pain, so I can fix that in software like VLC or Bino or even ffplay.

So far so good.

in reply to Beko Pharm

Apparently some games can do this as well, if I got the gist right. Elite Dangerous has this for example and I will totally try that later. And apparently it's also possible to force for other well known games via Reshade or sth? Pretty intrigued.

Probably old news to most but this is insanely difficult to wrap the head around without prior knowledge or fancy apps that do the trick.

Holy crap. That works! Could even add head tracking to the mix. Bam. It's not #VR but certainly 3D _even on foot_ on my #XR glasses. GUI is a tad smol but hey… can't have everything no? My glasses are 3840x1080 pixel 60Hz in that mode 🙃

Wonder if this can somewhat more adjusted but I found no obvious option in #SBS mode of #EliteDangerous

Demo video is rendering but that definitely needs some sort of 3D glasses or a smartphone contraption to watch.

in reply to Beko Pharm

Head tracking would be a good place to start. From what I've seen, VR doesn't work once you get on-foot, and it just shows you a static screen in VR space.

in reply to B. Kramer

@BenKramer I have head tracking covered using OpenTrack but the positional data _is_ available in Shared Memory [for my glasses] and the dev suggested to write a connector to OpenTrack eventually (If I'm not first :D)
in reply to B. Kramer

@BenKramer I checked again. SBS sticks to 3D on foot but on foot is no head tracking used.

This is afaik how Elite works.

What could be done is use the Mouse Output of the Breezy project where positional data is send to a virtual mouse. I'd have to try this on the Steam Deck though as I don't use this mode on desktop (it'd drive me mad when tabbing out of the game)

in reply to Beko Pharm

Think I got the aspect ratio somewhat under control. It's not perfect but much better. At this point I think it's simply a bug of #EliteDangerous. It's like the HUD doesn't get the rescaling memo after the intro played.

The settings make _no sense_ to me but I can live with that. SBS (right/left side) images attached. The HUD is now at least readable and not squished too much.
