VR is a niche market with fundamental accessibility flaws (motion sickness, spatial requirements, etc.). As for the controller, what discussion is needed? The steam deck already exists and from that it’s pretty easy to get a decent idea of what the controller will cost and feel like. It’ll probably end up being a solid controller for people that want it, but uncomfortable for people with smaller hands.

That isn’t to say that the steam frame/controller won’t impressive pieces of technology, but should be pretty easy to see why discussions would mostly be around the steam machine and specifically its pricing. Its success (or failure) will likely be what carries the reputation of both the steam frame and the steam controller alongside it.

If you want to be technical about it, you pretty much just described any modern video game console. The OS is the only thing actually differentiating modern consoles from PCs (or tablets in Nintendo’s case).

Really begs the question of what language even means

Then it really is authentic Boston Pizza!

(No seriously I found maybe 3 good pizza places while I lived in Boston and I’m pretty sure 2 of them technically weren’t even in Boston. The pizza there is mid at best)

To be fair, Linux isn’t developed on GitHub (it’s developed on the Linux Kernel Mailing List and kernel.org) and most of the spammers knew that going into it. The PRs on that repo were mostly just people trolling any bystanders that took it seriously until the internet did what they do best and took the joke too far.

In this specific example they didn’t waste anyone’s time or resources because it was never being used or monitored in the first place.

Edit for more additional context: Linus (who created git in the first place) mentioned not liking centralized git servers so he’s specifically said for multiple years that he never considered actually moving development over to something like GitHub

Isn’t the content blocked because imgur refused to implement ID-based age verification so as a result they just blocked users in the UK? Or am I missing something else here

nixpkgs is still kicking off their build pipeline, they’ll be here in 4 days

Now that I think about it, every single one of your replies is generalizing Americans as a whole. Do you really think everyone thinks like that? Or are your interactions just limited to internet trolls, politicians, and media outlets? I’m saying this because I spent 4 years in public (government funded) high school learning about all of the atrocities we committed both internally and across the world, and I’m sure that barely scratched the surface. Most of the people I know don’t idolize any historical figures in the US.

Let me put it this way. You’re on lemmy.ca so I’m going to assume you’re Canadian. If I started judging all Canadians based on what Alberta does, how would that make you feel? And what about the Inuit people? Canada and its leaders aren’t exactly perfect either. Do you want me to start judging all Canadians based on something Trudeau (or any other leader for that matter) did?

Either way, don’t bother responding to this because I’m starting to think you’re responding in bad faith and I don’t feel like wasting energy on this anymore. Have a good day o/

Just because someone is underpaid doesn’t mean they have nothing to lose. That’s exactly why we’re in the situation we are right now. People that are buying the propaganda obviously won’t do anything about it, and even among people that don’t, many aren’t in the position where they’ll be alright if they get wrongly deported, detained, injured, or even just sent to court. Good lawyers aren’t exactly cheap and neither are medical bills.

Yes, the government here sucks and I don’t want to be caught dead defending them (especially considering they would never defend me), but creating a divide between regular people is also exactly what they want because it helps them promote their naive nationalism. Attacking regular people isn’t exactly a great way to get others to agree with your ideas. All it does is convey a sense of elitism and hostility.

In my experience it’s more of a “everyone is too overworked and underpaid to have time to fact check all of the political lies being thrown around.” And the people that aren’t overworked are either the ones trying to lead protests and voting movements, or the ones upholding the status quo because it benefits them. Definitely not as simple as “Americans hate having basic protections”

They forgot “CM” so this doesn’t work for any number that ends in 900s

If it’s only for them then they shouldn’t mind getting their Wayland protocol veto privilege taken away 🤷

The Lemmy backend is also written in rust

The irony of this meme being posted from a platform written in rust is pretty great ngl

The Acela (faster one) is also several times a day now, but it’s more like every 2-3 hours instead of 1

Boston to NY is more like hourly - Amtrak has a lot of trains going on the line from Boston to/from DC (DC also has a very good transit system for the US at least from what I’ve heard).

The problem with those trains is that they’re expensive and slower - the Amtrak northeast regional costs $75-300 (depending on the date and time, as Amtrak is a company and charges more around holidays and during peak travel hours 🙃) each way from NY to Boston and takes ~4-4.5 hours. Driving can take 3.5-4 if you plan around rush hours in both cities.

Please don’t throw one of the only cities in the country with a semi-functional public transit system into the sun :(

Reminder: Most devs actually care about the things they make. This is a management/timeline problem, not a developer one.

The ghost doesn’t get a gravestone

Did some digging and I think it’s these projects:
