FairEmail has per folder settings for things like notifications. I have email filtered into various folders on the server. They when my phone gets the mail in each folder it notifies me (or doesn’t) depending.
Actually ended up meeting someone in vrchat. She moved to my state and we’ve been together since. Started with a Quest 2. Got a Pico 4 a year later. Looking to get a Pico 5 next year.
They (I actually bought two) are some no-name chinese scooters off Amazon. I’d link them but they’re no longer available.
Basically, wide deck, dual shocks for each tire, headlight, tail light, break lights, horn, twist throttle, 500W motor, folds down to easily fit in an RV storage compartment/trunk. Get around 12 miles on a charge at 20mph.
Perfect for small grocery runs, short trips, exploring areas where traffic/parking is shit.
Often times my gf and I will take the RV somewhere, use that as home base and travel the area on scooters. Great way to visit tourist traps without the hassle.
I find myself checking out pretty often and just making myself feel bad about the state of the world, or killing half an hour on stupid games that I could 100% live without. This is probably pretty common, and I’m wondering what other people have found as a way to do more productive things with their phones in the downtime.
I feel like if your hearing was good enough to hear people’s heartbeats you would have a much better understanding of their mood, emotions etc. I imagine when people say that animals can “smell fear” or similar, this is actually what’s going on. Likewise you’d probably also hear everyone’s digestion so that might be a bit gross.
“military aid” sounds like charity, no the US is selling that shit to Israel for billions with a B of dollars. Why do you think the US doesn’t do anything about the genocide? Because they’re profiting from it. Just like Saudi Arabia gets a free pass to do whatever horrible shit they want. The US won’t do jack shit about it because Raytheon busts a nut every time a kid gets blasted in the face by one of their missiles.
2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision...
I donno, the trailer doesn’t show any of the whit from the source. Just jokes about over eating and getting kicked off train… Where’s the thought provoking stuff and the inner monologue?
Since I could never get my family to switch to anything else I just assume all of my communications are accessible by the government(s) and their corporate owners, so I censor myself.
So, recently got freetube downloaded, and love every bit of it. But I still forget myself, and put youtube into the url bar… So, is it possible to redirect Yt to Freetube instead?...
I’d like to see every major first person game franchise shift to VR. They don’t because the money’s not there. The money’s not there because they don’t.
I totally agree with the skill issue. It’s also more physical. Many people can’t or don’t want to move so much. There’s a reason competative VR gamers are called “sweats”.
Also true some people get motion sickness. I did at first too. But I’ve never met anyone that didn’t get their VR legs simply by playing until they felt sick and playing again the next day. After a week or two they’re fine. Most games have comfort settings to make this easier.
Space is only an issue for a few games like boxing. I do most of my gaming in an RV. A lot of other people play sitting down.
Cost can be a lot if you’re diving into PCVR without an existing gaming PC. Otherwise you just need an RTX (even a 2060 will do) video card and a headset (A Pico 4 is like $400).
Headsets have been getting lighter and lighter. Ok Meta has failed to improve weight and comfort but every other manufacture has made improvements with each iteration.
It’s sad that most people’s only VR experience is with a shitty Quest 2. That’s like using a Razr flip phone and thinking it’s the modern cell phone experience. Sure it works but it’s old entry level gear.
I think when people say it’s only predicting the next word, it’s a bit of an oversimplification to explain that the AI is not actually intelligent. It’s more or less stringing words together in a way that seems plausible.
As of 3 November, according to Ministry of Health data, 2326 women and 3760 children have been killed in the Gaza strip, representing 67% of all casualties, while thousands more have been injured. This means that 420 children are killed or injured every day, some of them only a few months old.

I think that actually was ruled on a few months ago. No the model cannot hold copyright. Nor can the person that commissioned the model to create the work. I think where things are still a bit grey (someone correct me if I’m wrong), is when a person creates a work with the assistance of AI whereas it’s a mix of human and AI generated content.
I switched to FreeTube and now all the shorts are on a separate page I can switch over to if I feel like watching them. It’s also got SponsorBlock built in. Now I can enjoy youtube with a clean, faster interface and google isn’t tracking a damn thing. All because google got greedy and made their user experience shit.
I never cared for them. The technology and techniques have improved vastly over the years but given the choice I’m fine with the flat experience. Oddly enough I only play VR games anymore.

There are many jobs that I don’t bother to apply for despite knowing I’d excel and enjoy it, simply because I’m male. Many people aren’t comfortable with males in certain roles. Obviously the reverse is true and disproportionate but most people seem to be oblivious that men are oppressed too.
