I hate Facebook as much as anyone else but this is like comparing apples to a modern commercial airliner. One of these was only a movie. The other was a combination of several things: a research project to try and find ways to drive the cost of manufacturing consumer VR headsets down (this is a giant black hole for money), an attempt to produce said hardware, an attempt to subsidise the price enough to get people hooked, and an attempt to build a complex piece of software for the whole thing. The software in question had to run on the last several generations of quest hardware not just the most recent one. The hardware in question was some Qolcomm mobile SoCs with questionable graphics that were showing their age running on a battery. To make matters worse this was all in VR so you needed high enough looking resolution per eye at at least 90Hz. If you miss those targets the customer may start vomiting which does not sell product. Oh and you can’t easily increase your thermal or power budget by making the thing heavier because that will increase fatigue from wearing the product.

The other thing is a 2D movie rendered ahead of time so that time spent rendering each frame doesn’t matter.

The metaverse push was stupid but I don’t find it terribly surprising that trying to pull a whole industry out of your ass so you can have a monopoly on it is a bit very pricey.

If Nvidia deprecates your driver you’ll be up shits creek on just about every distro unless you already used nouveau.

Does he not realize Guantanamo is still open? I’m a little confused on how operating it is consistent with libertarianisim. Then again libertarians have brain worms

I live in California and still get randomly geoIPed to the UK. I start noticing it when imgur stops loading.

Except the last arch news post is a month ago about virtualbox. I’ve blindly run pacman -Syu for years without issue

I’ve used debian and arch. Only on debian have I discovered my wifi driver wasn’t yet supported. Only on debian have I turned on a server that I’d left off for a bit and abruptly discovered packages and updates no longer worked due to end of support and that I couldn’t run dist-upgrade without them. I’ve had to do more major surgery on apt then I’ve ever done with pacman.

Tons of political shit on that list and then midway through it just decides to ban yuri. Not porn, not furry content, and not hentai. Just yuri

Aaand its dependent on HP print cartridges. This is a hard problem but the dependence on HP will probably backfire

Having been to the supermarket recently Reese’s does in fact sell fourth of July “limited edition” peanut butter cups. They aren’t firework shaped though. They are just taller.

I’m down for being annexed just please

1. Don’t be a country seriously considering electing Nigel Farage or the local equivalent
2. Be careful how much you annex or you will get #1 eventually.

There is a funny set of furry sculptures in the middle of Golden Gate Park that have very plainly been subjected to modesty rules. The end result of this is that the male subject is only allowed to have nipples when he is wearing pants.

Meanwhile BART is being sued by a stadium for trying to extend service to the stadium

After going through the linked threads. Discussing graphene OS or any other ROM on r/privacy will get you banned. WTF‽

I am pretty sure at least one of these is not in the same thread or they have been reordered

You mean $30

The man did not understand perspective.

The funny thing with financial aid is that it is possible to spend more money figuring out who isn’t eligible than it would cost to just give it to more people

The reactors were bound for North Korean subs giving a potential motivation for the South Koreans. The Spanish claimed evidence of a supercavating torpedo strike.

Also the Ukrainians are rarely this mysterious when they blow something up. They are openly at war with Russia and thus don’t need to be.

Unfortunately paywalled. Is this a delayed report on the one which was hit by a supercavating torpedo off the coast of Spain a few months ago or is this another sunk russian ship with reactors bound for North Korea’s submarine program?

Arch just seems to work. Though I am also not seeing a single distro in this thread listed as having issues.
