Ik vraag me af hoe vaak het verwijt "oude witte man" langs gaat komen.

Puur naar vaardigheden en kennis gekeken vind ik hem best wel een ideale kandidaat. En dat zeg ik als iemand wiens politieke kennis weinig verder reikt dan wat ik in de krant lees.

And nothing of value was lost.

Sweet. I just used the extension to go from lemmy.world to feddit.nl so I could upvote 🦊

I use Squawker on Android to open timelines of specific accounts.

I read about this port blocking thing but don't quite understand what the issue is. I've been using Mullvad for three months now and have a torrent client using the vpn connection without any issues whatsoever. It uses the port I opened in my account at Mullvad's.

Although I like the retro look for nostalgic reasons, this look a bit too low res for my tastes. I hope there will be some options in that regard.

Mooi. En nu maar hopen dat dit niet weer wordt teruggedraaid.

I have tried tiling WM's but they are not for me. KDE Plasma offers the right balance of customisability, look consistency and features to always come back on top again. It's been my go-to desktop environment since KDE3.

Add to that being a completionist who likes to go for all achievements. I'm tormenting myself getting 100% on Octopath Traveler, combined with a full time job, running something resembling a household and trying to maintain some social connections.

Now we have a summer sale and I still have a few dozens games I need to start or complete!

You’re at work getting your ass kicked and leadership just shrugs and says it’s ok because we’re still making money.

In my case I was the software developer trying to make the best tool for our users only for management to force us to add more data collection and ways to squeeze a bit more money out of our customers. Profits went up, so it was "a success" and more was planned.

Now I work for the government, trying to make things better for citizens instead of share holders. Feels alot better.

Sorry for replying with a rant; it forced itself out of me.

Beat Saber is the only VR game I play on my HTC Vive (2016 model) and it works fine. If you want mods, however, you need to switch to the legacy branch in Steam (1.29.1) since 1.30 had major changes and mods haven´t been updated for it yet.

For mod installation, I use Beataroni, but there are alternatives.

While Steam does not support sending the base stations to sleep via Bluetooth, there is a python script which (after setting it up) can do so for you. My process is:

  1. Start the python script in a terminal -> base stations wake up.
  2. Plug in the headset. Primary audio is automatically switched to it.
  3. Launch SteamVR and play.
  4. Exit VR, unplug headset. Primary audio is returned to my speakers.
  5. Press Ctrl+C in the terminal to terminate the script. After a few seconds, the base stations turn off.

Since I have old base stations, I use the script for controlling v1 lighthouses: https://github.com/risa2000/lhctrl. The author also made a script for v2 lighthouses: https://github.com/risa2000/lh2ctrl. I only have experience with the HTC Vive so your mileage may vary.

De enige keer dat dat mij is overkomen kwam het neer op de pagina herladen en nog een keer proberen. Als je het continu hebt dan heb ik ook geen idee; ik ben ook nog slechts een nieuwe gebruiker :-). Zelf ben ik wel op meerdere communities van lemmy.ml geabonneerd, dus het moet wel kunnen. Het is ook de meest overbelaste instance, dus misschien ligt het daar ook aan, wat dus ook neerkomt op gewoon opnieuw proberen, evt. op een ander moment.
