Ah, Linux. Dann: https://lvra.gitlab.io/ https://vronlinux.org/ angucken und in die Bookmarks neispeichern.

Es funktioniert erstaunlich gut inzwischen. Bisher bin ich nur an Star Wars Squadrons aus dem Epic Store gescheitert. Jedes andere Spiel soweit ging ansonsten aber mit garkeinem oder nur wenig Gefrickel.

Aktuell ist eigentlich ein recht guter Zeitpunkt um auf dem Gebrauchtmarkt ein paar Schnapper zu finden. Seit Windows 11 nichtmehr WMR Headsets unterstützt und dazu noch Windows 10 ausläuft kommt man aktuell recht günstig an solche Geräte. Solang man eine Nvidia GPU hat funktionieren WMR Headsets aber dank einem inoffiziellen Treiber wieder mit SteamVR.

Ansonsten gibts noch die Pico 4. Da steckt dann eben Bytedance(Tiktok) dahinter. Schenkt sich zu Meta vermutlich nicht viel. Es gibt zwar einen Accountzwang um das Headset zu benutzen aber ich hab dafür ne Wegwerfemail benutzt und nie wieder drüber nachgedacht. Zwecks Privatsphäre kann man das Gerät mit einem USB Kabel am Rechner betreiben oder für kabellosen Gebrauch im Router vom Internet ausschließen. Die gibts zum Teil für grob 180€ rum bei Ebay und Kleinanzeigen.

In my experience those fuckers made the worst pictures one can imagine ever. I’m not exactly talking about the picture quality by the way even though they take also a prominent part in the results. Just the fact that they were pocketable enough and you didnt need to think about developing costs anymore before the internet became important. Sure, there are enough people these days who lack any decency and whip out there phones. But these little fuckers where sometimes whipped out with the full intend to take a pic of the worst possible sujet one can think of. Some of these pre-facebook pics still haunt us till this day as memes. Some are forgotten. Most of them never made it to the public and hopefully all get taken by bitrot.

A lot to love about the phone tbh. 3,5mm jack, front facing stereo speakers, 120hz, alright cameras, 168g, smallish formfactor, sd card support. But 450€ for an entrylevel chipset with 8/128 and only acceptable support timeline is just rough. I’m aware that inflation is a thing, chip manufacturing got more expensive, us tariffs somehow affect the rest of the world and longer software support needs to be paid somehow. But that shitty chipset will perform worse than my phone i got 4 years ago for like 320€. Meh.

To me it looks like fashion lifestyle gadget and not a camera. Its a shitty digital camera combined with an integrated printer. I dont think it will last decades. Beginning with the integrated battery. All of which would be allright but ~330€ is a steep pricepoint. You could get very similar results by getting yourself a smartphone from the last ten years for free or very cheap and combine it with some apps and a canon selphy printer. Or get rid of the printer and get the pictures developed in the next shop. Unless the instant aspect is crucial for you ofcourse. With all that money you could buy even a cheap lomo camera and some film. Or a m3/4 Olympus/Panasonic camera from the last decade to play around with. They had funky lenses too. Idk how good the market for 3rd party batteries is though. idk lots of different opportunities at the same time to get creative and still be within the budget of that single fuji which on top has pretty expensive ongoing costs with that instant film.

That would be my thoughts on it.

Since i saw that gameplay footage which was released like somewhere in the last 5 years its all i can think about when Sq42 is in the news again. Until that point i just hoped that maybe somehow someday an unpolished but interesting game will come out. But that footage looked so unfun and ass after ~10 years of development i lost all hope.

Obviously these are honeypots.

I killed several really well going conversations in the past by mentioning that one of my hobbies is to play racing games with my plastic toywheel.

Like dont get wrong i’m fully aware that its not a sexy hobby. But if thats enough to tank an otherwise well going conversation for you then i’m not interested either way.

Ich bin noch nicht so weit. Was aber inzwischen wirklich gut funktioniert ist Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe zu finden. Ich hab in den letzten 15 Jahren mehrfach den dauerhaften Wechsel zu Linux gesucht. Aber früher oder später hat es irgendwas zerschossen. Selbst bei Allerweltsdistros wie Ubuntu auf einem Thinkpad. Die Dokumentation und die Community waren oft in den Fällen dann für mich leider wenig hilfreich. Womit ich dann doch immer wieder bei Windows gelandet bin weil ich da problemlos Problemlösungen finden konnte.

Der große Unterschied ist glaub ich, dass man bei Windows auch manchmal auf 15 Jahre alte Forenbeiträge stoßen kann die einem den Arsch retten. Unter Linux sind so alte Beiträge zumindestens als Neuling eher tunlichst zu vermeiden.

Aber ja, das war alles einmal. Archwiki, distroeigene Foren, distroeigene Wikis, Discords(mag ich als Plattform garnichmal so, aber die Leute sind einfach meistens schwer in Ordnung. Die Erfahrung hab ich in Matrix und ähnlich nerdigen Kanälen nicht teilen können). Bei Information abseits davon irgendwie drauf achten, dass es halbwegs aktuell ist. Läuft inzwischen. Musste schon länger nichtmehr um Hilfe bitten sondern konnte die benötigten Informationen selbst suchmaschinen.

Naja und Videospiele funzen inzwischen doch auch einfach sehr gut. Das war vor 5 Jahren auch noch anders. Dazu hat das Frickeln unter Windows für meine Belange wirklich schmerzhaft stark zugenommen. Der Leidensdruck wurde da echt zu groß für mich. Da frickel ich in der Zeit lieber in Linux rum. Aber das letzte Jahr war was Frickeln betrifft recht unspektakulär. Vorallem im Hinblick, dass mir 25 Jahre Wissensvorsprung wie bei Windows fehlen.

Copied from the alt text which i thought should show up? Still learning how piefed works: Spagetthi in a deep plate with sliced cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs and finely grated parmesan. On top is a tiny bowl made of melted parmesan cheese with roasted wine onions inside.

You can install linux via bullets now? how cool is that?

Es hat geschmerzt beim verfassen und jetzt beim nochmaligen lesen auch.

Aber von ZwischenspeichyBS bin ich doch sehr angetan. Da zieh ich doch echt meinen Hut vor Skwiwwe, Skriwwe, Schkwirr… Eichhörnchen.

Mir hats die Schreibtischobenumgebung von ZwischenspeichyBS nach einem Aufdatum vor zwei Wochen komplett zerlegt. Ich hatte zum Glück dank Schnapper ein Rückenauf. Da fällt mir ein ich könnte es jetzt mal wieder probieren.

this will be xbox in 2032:

Aw man, i saw 32gb DDR4 for 50€ a few months ago. Now its at 90€.

Good thing is that i just dont need more ram right now.

As a longtime and somewhat casual but dedicated viewer i wasnt even aware of that fact.

But i still think getting onsite acccess to devs comes with compromises. Which still is legit. But i(!) still feel it comes with some constraints. Otherwise we would see nothing tbh IMHO.

Edit: Just to be sure: I still have mostly nothing but praise left for noclip.

My biggest gripe with noclip is that their documentaries feel just a tad too corporate. Like i’m(!) personally(!) convinced some money was exchanged between the dev/publisher to make these docs happen. (allegedly, no proof, vibes)

BUT(!!) idk how else you would get that close access to the stories they like to tell. Also they’re really fucking good at telling and surfacing stories in these tight constraints tbh. If you’re not a particular fan of a topic they cover it can feel sometimes a bit ‘shilly’. But if you are in some capacity fan they always give you some really cool insights into the development of ‘your’ game. Danny O’Dwyer is a fucking magician in that regard. I never feel cheated besides the thoughts in my first sentences in my post.

Thats the thing with Ubisoft. They dont make offensively bad games. They’re mostly just bland. What sells them (for me) are pretty unique settings and cool broader concepts. Thats probably that french je ne sais quoi which pulls in (my) attention. But everything else just falls apart if you’re a bit more into games. You know, i dont want to use the ‘G’ word. I dont want to make the case for the distinction between casuals and hArDcoRe - there it is - gAmeRS.
But Ubisoft games just still feel soooo formulaic. Even when they kinda try to remedy that fact. Yeah, they try to clutter the map with less interest points. Yeah, they stopped making you climb towers to populate said maps with interest points. But it still feels like made by committee. That corporate smoothing stone is just there. I’ve seen and resent this shit too many times because i buy more games than just the most current yearly COD/FIFA/AssCreed iteration.

Atleast gameplaywise i could handle it. But my biggest gripe personally is just the utterly shit writing in Ubisoft games. Its just soooo bad IMHO. They cant tell a compelling story. It always feels like an afterthought to the gameplay which already isnt landing for me.

Like yeah, SW Outlaws is an above average and alright AAA title. But i just cant anymore after 15 years of the same shit with the same patterns. At some point it had to break the camels back.

Might be a otherwise well made video. But that intro instantly tingled my spidey senses?

Two spy satelites built in the 90s which gathered dust for 20 years and got handed down to NASA were more advanced then the hubble space telescope?

Yeah, but funding and work started on hubble in 70s and it launched in 1990. With that in mind its a lot less ‘amazing’. Also i dont know what more advanced means in this case? Whats the qualifiers or the metrics? Like a space telescope which gathers light for days and weeks to get a picture is built to different specs than a spy satelite which has to take pictures in fractions of a second to get a clean picture.

Also the ‘interesting feature’ of having a short focal length isnt that interesting? They’re spy satelites, what else are they supposed to focus on? The secret nazi base on the dark side of the moon?

Either he is just sloppy with his analogy for what is to come in the video or he deliberatly insults my intelligence to paint a picture which eases me in for his following takes. In both cases it doesnt give me any confidence to invest 2 hours of my life.

meh

Uuh, could have been /boot/efi ? I dont know anymore. It was a few weeks ago and in an adhd induced rush to fix that problem now and now was until 3am.
